Do Verizon's POP3 and SMTP servers support SSL?

The Mail account setup wizard on Mac OS X 10.6.2 successfully added my new verizon.net email account in a couple of easy steps. During the process, the wizard warned me that my password would be sent in the clear; I told it to continue.
After successfully sending and receiving test messages, I tried enabling SSL for the incoming and outgoing servers. At that point, both sending and receiving failed.
I read the minimalist Support description about email app setup -- no mention of ports or SSL.
Is SSL possible on Verizon's servers?

Verizon's servers do not support SSL.

Where are the settings to invoke SSL for POP3 and SMTP?

I keep getting annoying emails from Yahoo!AT&T who are my internet providers about setting SSL settings for POP3 and SMTP services for receiving emails. I have it configured on my main email settings for my client. Do I have to set it as well for Blackberry service thru Verizon?
If so, where are these detailed settings located?
Thanks,

BB 8700g with Internet E-MAIL POP3 and SMTP

I have 2 separate Internet E-Mails Accounts with POP3 and SMTP and no Exchange-Server Accounts. I want to replicate my Internet e-mails directly to my Blackbary System without BB Desktop Software
How can I ajast my Blackbary System to do this?

Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
First -- you must have the proper account with your carrier. A generic data plan is usually not adequate. Rather, what is often called The Blackberry Data Plan is required. Contact your carrier to be sure that you have an account with them that provides you usage of their Blackberry Internet Service (BIS).
Second, follow these instructions for configuring your email on your BB:

SSL, POP3, and SMTP

I keep getting emails from about setting SSL settings for POP3 and SMTP. I have it configured on my main email settings for my client. Do I have to set it as well for my Blackberry? And if so how?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You're getting mails from which address? What does it contain?
To get mails in BlackBerry you need to integrate IDs in your device. And to integrate email IDs just follow the below instruction -
Go to Email Settings icon on your device
Login using using the user name and password (if already set by you)
Under Services click on Email Account
Click on Add An Email Account to integrate any POP or IMAP enable email (i.e.. gamil, hotmial, ISP mail etc)
To create BlackBerry.net ID click on Create A BlackBerry Email Address
Type your preferred User Name and enter your Password for that ID
After every successful email integration you'll receive an confirmation email from Activation Server. That's it!! You're done with BIS email ID integration.

I want to use Gmail with ACT! by Sage. Can I configure Firefox 3.6 to use POP3 and SMTP features of Gmail so I can send emails directly from ACT!? Thank you.

# 1: I am quite unsophisticated with digital technology--some would call me ignorant in this regard, just so you know.
I use contact manager ACT! by Sage. I have upgraded to a version that allows emailing from within the ACT! application. I would like to use my gmail account and Firefox to send emails from ACT! The people at ACT! say I can use any email service that offiers POP3 and SMTP. I checked and gmail has both. However, gmail says that they do not have instructions for configuring Mozilla Firefox for use with (if I understand correctly) gmail's POP3 and SMTP. So what I want to know is: has anyone done the ACT1, gmail, Firefox connecting and can they send me step-by-step instructions on how to do it? Thank you.

Thanks. I've made progress. I have set up ACT! to to use my gmail account. But a problem arose. Do you know if ACT! is set up for SSL related to POP3? I completed the first two items on the test email and failed the last two.
Also, I went back to Tools Preferences E-mail tab and clicked E-mail system set up the window is blank (my gmail account is gone) and I cannot get to Page 3.
Any thoughts?

POP3 and SMTP Only

Dear Sir
Hope you well
I just allow only pop3 and SMTP services on outlook via TMG please help me
i allow all mail protocol but unable to send receive email
ALSO TMG client installed in client PC

Hi,
Anyting updates now?
I agree that you can check the parts in the reply above firstly to find the reason for this kind of issue. In addition, the client must be a SecureNAT or TMG client.
If you haven't found anything, you can also use network monitor to capture packets for troubleshooting.
Best regards,
Susie

Cannot open simultaneous connections to POP3 and SMTP. Why?

This is what happens when I open POP3 and SMTP together. It seems that the host name for smtp is replaced with "localhost".
For two weeks, ever since I added a new servlet to my web application to open a connection to POP3 and check it, I was getting the exception:
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< exception >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
javax.mail.SendFailedException: Sending failed;
[2003-06-08 10:31:24.895] nested exception is:
[2003-06-08 10:31:24.895] class javax.mail.MessagingException: Could not connect to SMTP host: localhost, port: 25;
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< End >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Until this morning, I finally stopped opening the connection to POP3 and the connection to SMTP worked.
Why does this happen? What can I do to have both POP3 checked for incoming mail and be able to send mail out?
Thanks everyone for your help.

I posted this question a few days ago and didn't get any response. It turns out the problem was that I was using the same session for opening connections to SMTP and POP3 and that will not work. I replaced Session.getDefaultInstance(mailProps, null ) with Session.getInstance(mailProps, null ) and so far it's working.

How to set up two POP e-mail accounts using the same POP and SMTP servers

I have an e-mail address based on a domain I purchased which is based on my company name. Now retired, I have purchased a new domain with a simpler, personalised name. My original e-mail account uses the incoming (POP3) and outgoing (SMTP) mail servers operated by my ISP; mail.btinternet.com.
I have set up a new account on my PC in Microsoft Outlook, and have successfully sent and received emails using the new e-mail address taken from my new domain name.
I have now tried to mirror this on my iPhone, but every time I enter all the relevant data for the new e-mail address, user name, password, mail servers etc., and then press 'save', I get a pop-up which says: "xxxx" is Already Added This POP account has already been added to your iPhone. ("xxxx" is the name given to my original e-mail account). Nowhere have I input "xxxx" in the course of setting up the new account.
I need both accounts operational during an extended switch-over period as I alert everyone to the e-mail change over. Can anyone suggest a solution to this problem?

What targeting the Mail.app preference file, do the following:
Quit the Mail.app first and using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Mail. Copy the Mail folder and place the copy on the Desktop for backup purposes.
Using the Finder, go to Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.mail.plist. Move the com.apple.mail.plist file to the Desktop.
Note: Moving the com.apple.mail.plist file out of the Preferences folder will require re-entering all email account information when re-launching Mail.
The only exception to this is if you have a .Mac account which will be recreated automatically and/or if you created an email account as part of the computer setup assistant when first turning on the computer when new.
Launch Mail and decline any prompt to import mailboxes. After re-entering all email account information, the Mail.app should rediscover the existing account named folders and mailbox files at Home > Library > Mail.
After confirming all mailboxes were successfully rediscovered, you can delete the copy of the Mail folder and old com.apple.mail.plist file from the Desktop.
Test if this resolves the problem.

Apple Mail and SMTP servers

I have several identities set up in one Gmail account that I would like to use with Yosemite Mail. I also have two SMTP servers set up for outgoing mail -- one for Gmail, one for work. Is there any way that I can change the settings so that Yosemite Mail automatically chooses the right SMTP server depending on whether I am using my work identity or my Gmail identity? Thanks!

Hey Dan,
You can edit and change the outgoing SMTP servers in mail. To do that take a look at the article below to walk you through changing it as well as making it to where you choose what outgoing server that you want to use when sending mail.

Pop3 and smtp

I NEED THE NAMES OF POP3 Y SMTP

POP3 and SMTP are related to your e-mail settings. Depending on who you utilize for an e-mail provider, these will differ from provider to provider. G-Mail by Google, for example, is pop.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com. Below is an example pulled from Google's website. If you are unsure of where to acquire this info, I would recommend contacting your e-mail provider. Hope this helps.
Incoming Mail (POP3) Server - requires SSL:
pop.gmail.com
Use SSL: Yes
Port: 995
Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server - requires TLS3 or SSL:
smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
Use Authentication: Yes
Port for TLS/STARTTLS: 587
Port for SSL: 465
Account Name:
your full email address (including @gmail.com or@your_domain.com)
Email Address:
your email address ([email protected] orusername@your_domain.com)
Password:
your Gmail password

Ovi Mail IMAP and SMTP servers constantly down

I'm reading my ovi.com emails with a Lumia smartphone and with Outlook. I constantly fail to connect to the IMAP and SMTP server and thereby do not get or cannot send emails. Webmail works fine, but especially sending emails from Outlook or from Lumia is currently impossible. Mails just get stuck to the outbox folder and both Outlook and phone keep asking for the password, as if my password was wrong.
This has happened randomly after the Yahoo transfer, but now it is happening on daily basis. I haven't been able to send emails from my Lumia in a week. The settings both in Outlook and in Lumia are correct, have checked several times. Usually when I leave my phone alone for a night, in the morning it has synced the inbox, but not the Outbox.
Anyone have similar problems?

Ok.. if you guys have a final configuration please share...
I spent all morning and this after over 30min chat with nokia care support... final answer? they told me to contact Yahoo!
In the meantime, I also contacted nokia through tweeter and they were like: .. but nokiamail has been deactivated! I found it strange because my last income email on my cel was on Aug13... and I can still access nokiamail through webpage (www.nokiamail.com) so it´s not dead.
I´m using my name on the site as ******@ovi.com (cool, right?) but I want to have access to it on my ipad and another cel...thx for any help!

Is Verizon blocking all external SMTP servers now? 465 / 587 not working either

I have an Dreamhost hosting account which handles all my email, don't use Verizon at all.
For last year or so have used 587 w/ STARTTLS with no issues. Always worked fine.
Suddenly can't connect at all from Verizon. Configuration unchanged on client side, but all attempts to contact that host will timeout. But fire up my VPN to tunnel the traffic and it works fine. And exact same client PC works fine in dozens of other locations / networks with same config.
Can't find anything at all in my router that would indicate an issue. Config unchanged from when it was working fine.
Tried 465 w/ SSL/TLS and same result - works great via tunnel, blocked on Verizon.
Recap:
Destination SMTP server = a Dreamhost server
587 / STARTTLS fails to connect via Verizon, fine via VPN and same client hardware/config on other networks
465 / SSL/TLS fails to connect via Verizon, fine via VPN and same client hardware/config on other networks
Any suggestions? Has Verizon suddenly blocked a number of hosting companies? Quite irritating to have to fire up the tunnel just because of sending basic emails.

Based on your description of the issue, I wonder if maybe Dreamhost is blocking connections from your IP? Do you know if your IP address has changed recently?
I would recommend getting a new IP address to see if that helps. The simplest way to do this is to turn off your router for a few hours. (Before you go to bed or out to run errands are good times.)

Mail and smtp servers

Am I very happy to see a, for me, major update of the Mail application.
In the Preferences, Accounts, Information about this account, it was (and is still) possible to specify the smtp server to use.
What is new is the possibility to check or uncheck the "use only this smtp server" (I translate freely from my French system).
Doing a simple upgrade of Tiger to Leopard, these options where checked in my case.
As soon as I unchecked this option, each new message or reply got a new pulldown menu of all smtp server names making it specially easy when using my MacBook Pro on the go.
This is a feature I was waiting for since the birth of Mail.

Sorry! This should be in the Leopard forum...
