Firefox periodically drops my Verizon/Yahoo email site indicating it cannot find the server. Verizon alledges there are no server problems.

My email page will crash and the message received is:Firefox can't find the server at us.mc844.mail.yahoo.com. Repeated reloading does not help. After a period of time from 5 minutes to an hour the site can be accessed and is Ok for several days. The the problem reoccurs several times in the same day. When my email provider is contacted they indicate no server problems.

Report your error messages so your peers, like me, can make suggestions..
Official recommendations are on http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/verizon/mail/ymail/basics/mail-12859445.html NOTE THE URL's Stick with them if using YAHOO.  I have not found a newer recommendation for pop.yahoo.verizon.net that you mention, and the help page was updated this month.
Note some have had trouble with missing intermediate certificates so get encryption errors.  Shouldn't happen (except if you are missing the root certificate, which is your responsibility),  but can be fixed by installing manually.
Some have reported needing to specify [email protected] rather than just userid, I believe on the SMTP side.  Normally you specify only userid and password without the @verizon.net.

    Do a Select all on your pages (Most likely a master page if it effects all pages) and you will likely find an empty element or element that extends past the design edges in your desktop design.

  • Android Phone and Verizon-Yahoo Email account

    I've had my Verizon-Yahoo email account as my default email on my Android phone for nearly
    2 years. Suddenly, it does not sync with my actual email anymore and I cannot retrieve newly
    sent email to me.
    What happened?
    I deleted my Verizon-Yahoo email account thinking I could readd it without issue and now it
    won't add it. So, I am without my regular, most used email address on my mobile phone.
    How do I fix this problem step by step and what happened in the first place.
    If I canot retrieve my email there is no need for data. I need it for college classes and work,
    as well as other business uses.
    Can someone help me?
    In addition, I have been receiving ALOT of SPAM on my regular Verizon-Yahoo email over the
    past 6-12 months and I don't understand why. How do I fix that. I keep sending these adult ads
    and other SPAM to the SPAM folders but it keeps coming back!! Is someone signing me up
    for this stuff and how do i stop t from happening?
    Thank you for your assistance in advance.

    Hi:
    I experience the same problem when I downloaded systems updates on my Android Bionic phone, I was not able to sync my Verizon Yahoo email account.  I went through the same steps and nothing worked, until one savvy Verizon Wireless IT support agent told me to download the Yahoo Mail App on to my phone and that solved my problem instantly.  I logged in using my Verizon.net username and password and have been able to access my email with no problems ever since and have also updated my Yahoo Mail App and all works beautifully.

  • How do I add more fonts to my Firefox Verizon Yahoo email software for a larger/better selection?

    The font style choices available for Firefox Verizon Yahoo email are very limited. I would like to have a bigger selection of email fonts available for use, Where can I obtain additional fonts? If they are available, how do I install them?

    The font list is provided by Yahoo Mail, not by Firefox. Yahoo probably offers a limited selection of fonts because the fonts won't work unless they are also installed on all the recipients' computers.

  • Windows live mail 2102 and Verizon yahoo email

    Hello
    I have been using Windows live mail and Verizon yahoo together for over a year
    I use Windows mail since I do like the Verizon webmail feel and format
    These two program have worked fine for me until yesterday
    Today we try to access yahoo mail using  Windows  live I get a series of errors .
    These errors include
    1) timeout
    2) wrong password
      Last night at the recommendation of VZ tech support I deleted my Live account and created a new one for the same yahoo mail address.   This worked last night as all me server email were downloaded for Windows live.
    However this morning when I access Windows love I get the same errors ay yesterday and no new emails since last night
    I have deleted my anti virus program to see if this solved the problem , however this had no impact
    Per VZ tech support I am using the correct port setting, I have tried alternative port setting  with no luck
    I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue
    Thanks

    I have had the same experience.  The answer is to disconnect your verizon email from yahoo email and then to setup your email settings as described in a recent announcement from Verizon that was sent to users that do NOT use the Verizon Yahoo servers.
    Anthony_VZ provides instructions in the Verizon Community Forum - Verizon.net topic.   I was so disgusted by the time I wasted trying to get support to answer the simple question of what settings I should be using that I was ready to dump Verizon completely.  I was eventually sent to Verizon Premium Support that would answer the question for $14.99 per month with a commitment of 10 months.  I have no idea if the Verizon Yahoo ports are even compatible with Windows Live Mail any more or not (nomal support is not "trained in Windows Live Mail").  How they can make something as straightforward as providing email client settings for a common client so difficult is beyond me.
    As you can tell, I am very angry about the time I wasted on this.  Disconnect your Verizon email account from Yahoo and life will be better.  Good Luck.

  • Is it possible to switch from Verizon Yahoo email account to a basic Verizon.ne​t account?

    I have a Verizon Yahoo email account, and have not used it in a while. I recently started using it and realized that I hate the Yahoo portal (garish ads, cluttered interface, etc.).  Does any one know if it is possible to switch to a basic Verizon account. At this point I don't care if it is the classic Webmail or the new Message Center.

    Yes.  I did just that a few months back.     You can't do it thru the self-service portal however.
    While I don't know if there are different requirements in different states or service areas which may affect who can switch, etc., what I did was use the tech support chat and explained to them that I didn't want the "Yahoo" experience any longer.   Explained I was trying to switch to AOL just to get away from Yahoo but that it wasn't working thru the portal -- but once we started chatting I told them that I really didn't want AOL either -- just wanted the Verizon branded basic experience not a partner one.  Took them about 15 minutes and the first line person had to involve and engineer behind the scenes to make the change, but they got it done without skipping a beat.
    If you use a client other than the web client to get your email (like Outlook or Thunderbird or on a mobile device), you will have to reconfigure their POP and SMTP settings afterwards.

  • Setting up Verizon Yahoo email on my phone?

    I've searched for an answer to this, and can't find an answer.  I got a Razr Maxx yesterday, and I can't get my Verizon Yahoo email set up on my phone.
    This is the process I've been trying:
    Set Up Account
    Select Other (Selecting Yahoo doesn't give an option to change the settings)
    Enter email address ([email protected]) & my password
    Unchecked the Automatically Configure Account box
    incoming.yahoo.verizon.net (port 110)
    outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net (port 587)
    User name:  I've tried both [email protected], and also just my user name xxxxxx
    Then I get an error message saying that I'm using the incorrect username or password.  I'm definitely using the correct ones though.
    Does anyone has an idea how I can fix this?  I've already talked to tech support at Verizon DSL to confirm the settings.  He told me to try the ports 995 and 465.  Those don't work either, and upon further investigation on my own, I think those ports are just for FIOS.
    I really want to love this phone, but I'm so frustrated right now that I'm ready to take it back to the VZW store and go back to my old iPhone.  Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, it's an old "grandfathered" email service that they no longer offer to new customers.  Evidently, it's not very common.
    I finally got an excellent VZW rep on the phone that investigated and figured out the situation for me.  The problem was that the outgoing port should have been 25, not 587.  Also, it's set up as a POP not an IMAP.

    Hi Hussein,
    Thanks for your prompt reply and my apologies for the substantial delay in mine.
    We did some trouble shooting since then.
    We repolved the problem by choosing a pdf format instead of the seeded RTF format. This opened up the output in a couple of minutes because the pdf formatted output was about 50mb vs the RTF output which was 300MB+.
    But the ORIGINAL problem still remains. The xml tagged .out file is still huge with a size of nearly 1gb!
    My earlier questions here now boil down to the following questions.
    Q1. Is the huge XML Publisher's .out file expected in R12?  It really is massive!  The text file from 11i was just 19MB
    Q2. Oracle does not seem to offer the option to format the output in plain text ...We see PDF, RTF but no plain ugly text.  I would expect plain text file to be much smaller.  How can we get the output in plain text?
    1.Yes our stats are upto date. Let me emphasize that we do not have a performance problem with the report itself. The issue we are having is opening up the output.
    2. The authentication error is resolved. It was because of formatting the reports incorrectly.
    3. We did not use the usual tuning procedures such as tkprof because we do not have a performance problem.
    4. We checked the OPP file and there are none. I reiterate, The report does complete without issues. It is just that the output takes a long time to open up in the RTF
    I will appreciate if others  can share any experiences if you have faced this situation and how you have handled it.
    Thanks in advance for your time!

    The article is misleading. As written it looks like it is being blocked, but it is the click to play feature they are talking about.

  • I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?

    I am trying to use firefox as the web lauch for citrix ica client but when I go to login into remote site - I get the message waiting to find website but it nver finds the website. Has anyone else had this problem?
    When I installed firefox, it asked if I wanted to use safari settings and I said yes but I think this might be causing the problem. Safari is no longer compatible with citrix ica client. When I reinstalled firefox it automatically installs the safari info. Does anyone know how to re-install firfox without installing safari info?

    Did anyone ever suggest you reset your PRAM?
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=2238
    Also might want to try resetting the SMC, although I
    doubt there's an issue there.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=304123
    I'm getting tired of people who supposedly know what
    they're doing simply guessing that resinstalling the
    OS might solve the issue. It's like trying to dissect
    a frog with a sledge hammer, and wondering why you
    didn't learn anything about anatomy in the process.
    These sorts of things, although bizarre, should be
    (and probably are) fixable without major surgery.
    Thanks for the suggestion... but I think my first question would be why these parameters would need re-setting? This is a new machine... It has never been shut down hard. It is used at most 10 hours per week... mostly using Office 2004 for MAC. I need to figure this out as I will soon need it as a Cs2/CS3 - Aperture workhorse.
    I too agree that it is best not to use a sledge when a scalpel is needed... but as a novice to the MAC world I may have been misled by Apple support. I seems to have fixed the symptoms ( some) but appears NOT to have addressed the cause... which is what I am after.
    Would TechTool Pro detect a bad HD or RAM?
    Thanks....

  • I seem to have caought some kind of virus. Firefox says it cannot find the server for whatever site I have designated. I deleted and reinstalled to fix any corrupt files but the problem persists. Firefox simply does not work.

    It will only open the firefox opening window, nothing else. If I put in my home page, Yahoo, it says it can't find the server. Same for any other URL. I fully deleted Firefox, including the FireFox folder in applications, and reinstalled to no avail.

  • System cannot find the path specified when sending emails with attachments

    I've had an on going issue for some time on one of my clients whereby users will intermittently get this error "The System cannot find the path specified." when they try to send an email with an attachment.
    The issue seems to arise generally (though reportedly not only when) when someone creates an email and attaches a file but leaves it for some time before finishing and sending.
    The staff run in a Windows 2008 R2 full Terminal Server desktop environment on Office 2010 (32-bit 14.0.7140.5002) and several staff have reported the same issue.
    I have been able to replicate the issue in their environment by creating an email and leaving it for some time.
    After a fair bit of scouting around I found that if I monitor the temp directory that the attachments get placed into (content.outlook under Temporary Internet Files on user profile) and found that the directory with the attachments would disappear after
    a period of time which would then cause the error where obviously Outlook could not find the file that had now gone.
    I don't know of any Outlook settings that would cause this and the issue isn't related to temporary Internet files filling up as I've recreated the error on a user account where there is nothing else stored in the Temporary Internet Files.
    To work around the issue I have changed the reg file that tells Outlook where to place these files (HKCU/Sofware/Microsoft/office/14.0/outlook/security - OutlookSecureTempFolder) to a location in the users home drive.
    This appears to resolve the problem however I am noticing 1 issue with this.  Unlike the temp folder which gets purged after a file is no longer required, the location I've changed it to does not clear out old files.
    While it shouldn't be too difficult to add a script that can clear the files at log off it would be good to see if anyone may know what the cause of the problem in the first place is.  I would rather it work as it should than have to bodge around changing
    the folder and scripting file deletes.
    Does anyone know of what maybe causing the attachments and content.outlook folder to disappear?
    thanks

    Do you have any redirected folder in your environment? Is the original Temporary Internet Files folder stored on a server?
    Basically, the attachments remain in the Outlook Secure Temporary File folder if we exit Microsoft Outlook while email attachments are open. See:
