Email settings on my powerbook changed.

I have not changed any settings for my email account and yesterday tried to send an email and I couldn't.  I have read and read and thought I could change the account settings and nothing I did helped.  I looked in the help section with the ? and did step by step and still didn't work.  I was wonder if anyone out there has had the same problem and how did they solve it. Thank you
Arlene

  • Email send/receive suddenly doesn't work ; can't change email settings as BB phone won't accept valid username and password -- what to do?

    email send/receive suddenly doesn't work (as of September 24th); I can't change email settings (one suggestion from tech) as BB phone won't accept *valid* username and password -- what to do?
    I understand from a support note that if I keep trying my password/username combination, my BB will eventually delete all data!
    I can't understand this. I'm completely lost now. I can't remember what I've done or tried to do. A plethora of usernames and passwords is swimming in my head.
    Thanks for any hints. I have always loved this BB Bold and have never had any trouble with it.

    But the real question is why for the past year did the passwords work and then all of the sudden after this anomaly the disk password doesn't work?  I'm not 100% sure of what my configuration was, but I know that most of the time it required one password -- supervisor, and occasionally it asked for 2 -- disk password as well I believe.  This may have been related to the Password on Restart setting I think -- asking for the disk password on cold vs. warm boot.  But I know both were exactly the same.  But after this incident only the Supervisor password worked.

  • Email regarding change to Verizon Outgoing & Incoming Email Settings. Is it SPAM???

    Received this yesterday. Can anyone from Verizon chime in and state where it's spam or legit?
    Dear Verizon Internet Customer,
    At Verizon, we continue our efforts to enhance your online experience as well as ensure ongoing security for our Internet customers.  As a result, Verizon Online has modified the way email is handled when sent or received through an email application other than MyVerizon. 
    If you only use MyVerizon to access your email account, no action is required and you may disregard this email.  If you do, however, use other applications to access your Verizon email, such as Outlook Express®, you will need to modify your email settings to take advantage of enhanced security we now offer. 
    In order to make these modifications, please visit http://verizon.com/emailsettings for information about the  email settings you need to update.  Additional information may also be available by going to our online forum at http://forums.verizon.com/. 
    Thanks for being a valued Verizon Online customer and we encourage you to act now to ensure your email account has the proper settings on a going-forward basis.      
    Sincerely,
    Verizon Online

    Use the SEARCH, people!!! As has already been stated MANY times in MANY posts: Yes, it's legit.
    The changes are not absolutely required yet, but they do add security.

    Yes, the message is legitimate, and yes, you must eventually change server settings as described.  You may find this onerous, and you're not the first person to face this issue, but eventually it must be done.
    This topic has really been beaten to death in the forums.  I'd say your best bet is to type "thunderbird" into the "Ask the Community" search box at the top of the page and start reading.  There's a vast amount of detail there.
    My impression is that just about everyone eventually gets the settings right, after which the system works as desired.  Still it may take some doing.  Good luck.

  • Problem with email setup in iPhone after changing to secure settings

    When changing account settings to use Verizon's new secure email settings, my iPhone keeps giving error " Can not get Mail, the mail server incoming.verizon.net is not responding.
    I am using port 995 with SSL as instructed. Switching back to the standard port 110 with no SSL works fine.
    Outgoing works fine with port 465 and SSL.
    Also, same secure settings on Outlook 2010 work perfectly fine.
    Anyone having this issue?
    Solved!

    A few other people have posted that after making the changes they had to reboot their iPhone/iPad in order for it to connect again. Have you tried restarting?

  • Change email settings in quickbooks

    How do I change the email settings in quickbooks?

    go log in under your apple id under apple support and
    there change the contact email:-)
    Dear Steve Djokes,
    Thanks not only for replying, but for asking that question about micing vocals!
    Anyway, I have already changed my email address in my Apple ID account, but still, for the discussion group, it shows my old I.D. I'm not that familiar with Apple's site, and I'm not finding my way around very well. I'm just a drummer, still learning to become computer savy. But just for giggles, I went to the support page, and I believe I read every letter, but never found where I could log in.
    Thanks again for that "vocals" post. Good things came out of that for me.

  • Has Verizon changed email settings for the iPhone?

    Hi-
    have an iPhone with iOS6 installed.  Haven't changed a thing for quite a while, but it stopped receiving Verizon/Yahoo emails yesterday (using the built-in Mail app).  Did Verizon change something on the email settings?  My emails are coming into my home computer so my password is correct and active.
    thanks

    I've been wracking my brain over this for a few days and I finally found the solution. Before it was enough to just use your username to access your email account, but since Yahoo's outage you apparently need to add "@verizon.net" to the end of your username for it to work. I was going crazy because I quadruple checked my port and SSL settings on my phone like all the other forum posts suggest. All my settings lined up with what they should ave been but still wouldn't work. On a whim, a final desperate try before I deleted the account from my phone, I added the "@verizon.net" after my username, and the !#@%# thing worked! Give it a try. It certainly won't make it work any LESS.

  • New message regarding changing email settings

    We lost the message about changing the new email settings. can some one tell us what it was?

    For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
    The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
    Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes
    Username: fakeacct
    Password: fakepassword
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 465
    If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
    These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
    If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.

  • I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I have a mac 10.5 and need help figuring out how to change my email settings so it does not automatically delete my inbox every 30 days.  How to I adjust the mail settings?

    I think it must be an IMAP account then, & in Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Advanced>Keep copies for Offline viewing:>Don't keep copies, then on the Server, or maybe it's just this one itself, but on the Server you have a setting to remove eMails after 30 days.
    If it's a POP account we'd have to investigate that... but you didn't say so I'm guessing here.

  • HT1430 Hello, email settings correct, can not send emails from the ipad,

    ****, I HAVE ENTERED ALL MY EMAIL SETTINGS CORECTLY INTO MY IPAD FROM MY EMAIL ACCOUNT ON MY PC AND I CANNOT SEND EMAILS FROM IPAD  , WHAT AM I DOING WRONG CAN YOU HELP PLEASE

    it could be one of many reasons, is it giving you a reason why it is not sending emails?
    I know you said everything is the same as your PC email settings, but I would double check, also the iPad will tend to default to IMAP, so if you are using POP3 for your email, you may need to change the settings on the mail server. For example Gmail default to POP3 and needs IMAP turning on.
    What email account are you using? Who is it with?

  • Can't open Email Settings after firmware updated a...

    Hi,
    I've upgrated my E71 with new 3.00 firmware yesterday and then restored phone memory from saved backup (yes, restoring is still a great pain for Nokia phones owners - you know, not all the software installed restores and so on, but that's another question).
    Before this upgrade I had MfE and Nokia Email installed and one IMAP mailbox was set up in standard Messaging application. After restoring from backup Nokia Email was missing (backup problems I mentioned above) but I've reinstalled it successfully. MfE and Messaging mailbox also worked okay.
    But today suddenly I discovered that when I try to open Settings / Email menu item at Messaging app, this app crashes silently. Strange, but when I'm accessing Email Settings menu item being at mailbox tab, I can see this mailbox settings. but when I try to enter global email settings for all mailboxes from the app main menu, application crashes.
    I tried to add another mailbox using Settings Wizard - and it worked, additional mailbox appeared in Messaging app. But all the same with it - no access to global Settings / Email menu but  works okay when I open Email Settings directly from mailbox tab.
    The thing is that I need to remove mailboxes from Messaging App and it can be done through this unreachable global Settings / Email menu only.
    Another detail - when I change storage from phone memory to memory card in Settings / Other menu, my mailboxes disappear and the Settings / Email menu becomes accessible. And when I change storage back to phone memory, my two mailboxes are back again (and functional, as before), but when I try to open Settings / Email menu app crashes.
    Please advise, because I really have no idea what to do. I assume that there must be a way to remove mailboxes manually, but what is it?
    Regards, Yuriy.

    Well, the problem gone after I deleted MfE profile (I don't need it right now). This Settings menu is accessible again. Anyway, it was very strange and I can't predict if I will face it again after I add another MfE profile.
