Email Issues - Please Help

I use Outlook Express 6 as my email client. Last night email was working fine for me. This morning I started Outlook Express and it never got past "Authorizing..." It kept asking me for my user ID and password. I checked my account settings and I'd never changed them. I wondered if it was just a software problem, so I tried to sign in to Verizon Webmail (on the website) and it told me my login credentials were incorrect. This is really puzzling me because I've never changed my user ID or password. 
I thought someone could have tried to hack my account, but then I found the notice on this site about changing our outgoing mail ports. I did so and now in Outlook Express I no longer get pestered for my password - however, it never finishes connecting and I get the popup that says "Your POP3 server has not responded in 60 seconds. Would you like to wait another 60 seconds for it to respond?"
Obviously something is wrong with the settings somewhere, but like I said I never changed anything. I did change the outgoing port as suggested as well as the incoming port (I left the servers as outgoing.verizon.net for outgoing and incoming.verizon.net for incoming).
Is anyone else having a problem like this? Anyone know where I could start in trying to resolve this? It's really frustrating to be unable to check my email from both the email client and here on the website.

If you are unable to login to webmail, it's not a port setting issue. Try the "forgot password" links or contact Tech Support to have your password reset.
If you did not initiate the change, I would strongly recommend also changing your secret question/answer and running a virus scan.
If a forum member gives an answer you like, give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem.

  • Mid 2010 15" MBP i5 A1286 POWER ISSUE-PLEASE HELP-

    The MBP works fine when mains connected but the only issue is every time I take the charger out it shuts down on me!!! So I have checked with a multitester & looks good the only thing i find hard to check for power is the battery itself as its hard to get a good connection, also I took to local Apple store & they checked with a new battery but said its still same issue so the guy disconnected nearly all the connecters off to check if they causing issue & he said now the battery is charging.
    So they still have the laptop to do further tests etc, but I’m not sure what could be the problem hear as maybe there is some component which is bad so the battery’s not charging or what else could be the issue please help & advice as I’m really confused as if it was something to do with the logic board then surely it would not even charge even after checking with the multitester or like Apple genius done by disconnecting other components...
    ANY HELP OR ADVICE WOULD BE HELPFULL,
    THANKS GUYS

    THANKS FOR THE HELP GUYS!!! BEEN AROUND 5 DAYS & NOT ONE PERON HAS HELPED...
    BUT YEAH THANKS AGAIN...
    WASTE OF TIME THIS IS...

  • Trackpad Issue - Please Help!

    Hi there,
    Hope you can help me out here.
    I've recently purchased a 15" i7 Macbook pro. The machine is but 3 weeks old &, of course, very well looked after.
    A few days ago, the built-in trackpad started behaving eratically. Cursor moving by itself, not responding to touch, clicking and opening things involuntarily. Not good at all. Many users seem to have had this exact same issue.
    These problems seemed to miraculously stop after a few re-boots and possibly a software update? I really couldn't tell you what resolved the problem.
    Unfortunately I now have a totally different problem.
    There is a thin, possibly 8 to 10mm horizontal strip across the centre of the trackpad that no longer responds to touch. If I move my finger from the botom of the trackpad upwards (or vice versa), the cursor will stop momentarily as it passes over the horizontal strip. The buttons are fine and the rest of the trackpad is fine. For the moment, I've increased the cursor acceleration so that I can at least navigate round the screen with a smaller area of the trackpad. USB magic mouse seems to work fine.
    If anyone else has experienced this &/or found a solution for this issue, please help me out here. I have rifled through endless threads about MBP trackpad issues with little success & do not live close to an apple store/genius bar.
    This is a 3 week old machine that cost me a small fortune. To be getting software/hardware issues so early on in it's lifespan is really rather worrying for the future.
    Appreciate your help here.
    J

    I'm not sure what caused this, but I extended my lunch break and drove the machine down to the Westfield apple store. I didn't have an appointment with the Genius Bar but I managed to persuade one of the staff to speak to a technician in the workshop. She came back into the store and told me that they had replacement trackpads and that , considering the machine was only 3 weeks old, the technicians kindly sandwiched the repair into their timetable at zero cost. 2 Hours later, I now have a perfectly functioning trackpad/machine.
    I can't thank them enough.
    My only gripe is that I couldn't speak to a technician to find out what the problem was, how they resolved it or what causes these issues for future reference. Understanding why these problems occur often helps to build your own framework of understanding. Most of the threads i've read about trackpad issues are largely unresolved with people only speculating the problem/solution.
    The initial issue I had with the trackpad's erratic behaviour seemed to be a well known problem that many are associating with a trackpad firmware update. Unless by pure coincidence I had an immediate & major hardware fault after it, which is unlikely, my personal guess is that the two issues were related.

    Hi Venu,
    We can't add authorisation objects on Individual servers.We need to add authorisations on BWD ie Dev system and transport to BWI QUA system.This is the Process we need to follow as per our rule set.
    So,As the problem mentioned above if i add some auth. objects on BWD DEV system and transport it to BWI QUA system,it is getting transported Successfully to BWI,but the auth.objects what i have added on BW DEV system is not found on BW QUA system.
    What could be the problem for that,Is that the problem with transports like TP error or is it related with some tables of auth.objects...................
    Could u please analyse the problem and tell me the solution for this..........
    Thanks Much

  • Headerrenderer issue -Please help

    Headerrenderer issue -Please help
    hi
    I have a datagrid and I am  doing a custom sorting on the grid(by getting data from DB).
    I achieve this by capturing the headerrelease event of datagrid .In thee venthandler I will query from DB and do event.preventdefault to prevent standard grid sorting.
    Now I need to display my own custom ascending/descending arrows in the header.i have created an header renderer for this,
    In the headerrenderer I am lsitening to the headerrelease event of datagrid and in the eventlistener, as per the sortfield, i am trying to make the sort arrow visible/invisible.
    But somehow making the sort arrows visible/invisible is not working.The initial arrow works fine.it is shown the correct column(Name) as done in the init() method.
    The eventhandler is invoked on clicking the column headers and all the alerts are shown.
    Please see the headerrenderer code below and help me.(code is not complete only the relevant part is included)
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><mx:HBox

    public function init():void{
     headerLabel = dataField.label; 
    _dataGrid.addEventListener(DataGridEvent.HEADER_RELEASE,sortChanged,false);  
    if(_dataField.localeCompare('Name')==0)asc.visible=true; } 
    private function sortChanged(e:DataGridEvent){
     var dg:DataGrid=e.currentTarget asDataGrid;
    varcolumn:DataGridColumn = DataGridColumn(e.currentTarget.columns[e.columnIndex]);if(_dataField.localeCompare(e.dataField)==0)
    if(asc.visible ||(!asc.visible&&!desc.visible))
    Alert.show( 
    'in..');
    asc.visible=false;
    desc.visible=true;
    else if(desc.visible){
    asc.visible= true;
    desc.visible=

  • E73 Email disconnect issue- please help

    I just got a Nokia E73 and facing this problem with the build in email.
    I have setup email accounts on it so when I connect the email through my wifi it shows a green circle indicating that the mail boxes are active. But when I keep the phone idle for about 4 - 5 minutes and then again try to check the mail box the green circle loses connectivity and turns red only to be connected manually again.
    Please help me with this is there any setting which I can set so that the mail boxes remain active.
    Regards,
    AJ

    Hi, since no one from Nokia is answering is a clear proof that no one from company really cares about customers. I have the same problem, by the way. Just bought E73, big chances I will bring it back and ask for my money. Too bad, I had a good opinion about Nokia but it seems that everything good is coming to an end. I recommend no one this brand. Bye Nokia!

  • New Infinity connect issues - please help

    We are having ongoing issues with getting BT infinity installed to our new house.  I really need someone that can actually help us find out what is wrong and how we can resolve the issues we are having.
    It all started a few months ago when we ordered BT infinity and a new phone line to our new Chapel conversion house.
    Initially there were some issues with the engineer being unable to get the phone line to the house. After numerous phone calls and several engineers visits, we these have now been resolved and we do have a working telephone.
    The problem seems to be with the Infinity. Nobody can give me an answer as to why we have not yet got a connection.
    When the phone engineer visited he said that he would try and connect the Infinity in the green box. – When he went to do this he tried to obtain our patching information and was informed that there was no live order for infinity on our number… As there was nothing more he could do he left.
    We then checked with BT and they confirmed that we do have an order for infinity and that there was a problem that needed and engineer to look at. (We have a box and are paying for the service already…
    We were told last week that an engineer was going to attend on Monday 13th Jan and that we definitely would have a connection by last Monday at the latest… - no engineer attended despite my wife spending her 3rd day in the house waiting for an engineer!
    She phone BT on Tuesday and was told that there was a problem and she would be contacted by Thursday Morning at the latest. – Needless to say , No phone call!!
    We really need to sort this connection out.  Is there anyone who can take this and run with it until it’s sorted? – We are getting nowhere talking to random individuals who have no real history of our connection history.
    Please Help!
    Doug
