I am receiving a connection error and can't send out yahoo e-mails. I can surf and use another browser with no problem what happened all of a sudden with my firefox?

I can't send out e-mails! I get a connection error message.
I can receive messages, surf the web via Firefox.
The only related thing to this occurrence is that I received a notice from Firefox recommending that I disable a Skype extension, which I did. Not sure if this is connected.

If you are still having trouble, post the error. (The error you've posted here is for the wrong server.)
Well, I had already done those things before.  The message I got when I tried is:
An error occurred while sending mail.  The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/l/us/yahoo/mail/original/manage/sendfrom-07.html.  Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
I had input the email address without the @verizon.net extension.  That's exactly how I input it in the pop3 set-up for receiving e-mail and it works there.
So I went to the link that is referenced in the error message.  It basically had me go to my Yahoo mail account page.  I was directed to add an account with a different email address.  A verification code was then sent to me via email that I then had to input into the new account's setup page in order to activate my Yahoo mail for smtp use.  Once I input the code and validated I was then able to send e-mails just fine with Thunderbird.  I was able to use my @verizon.net email address and not the new account I had created.
Bottom line - I had to activate/validate my account before I could send email.  I had not read about this anywhere when trying to figure out what was wrong.

    I do not know what happened, all of a sudden Firefox does not want to work anymore. Had been conected to audible. Retried about 4 times.... no luck had to force quit every time. The three Firefox app. into garbage, emptied garbage and redownloaded new version from Firefox. Reinstalled but same thing happened again... no connection.
    What can I do, I like Firefox better than Safari, had it for years on my Mac.
    Please let me know.
    (Note: I have also mentioned this on the automatic response to the malfunctioning).

    Hey.
    I think it might be the problem with one of your plugins.
    Try to uninstall the webbrowser AND remove the storage from Firefox in your user-account (Linux: /home/username/.mozilla). You can check the list of installed Add-Ons in Firefox under "Extras => Add-ons" or by pressing Shift + Strg + A (Linux).

  • I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously all texts would send. The red exclamation mark appears and 'not 'delivered' shows on screen.

    First time I've used this discussion forum, so may be posting problem twice! I can't send texts to some contacts in my iphone 4s. This is a recent problem, as previously I could send texts whenever I wanted. The exclamation mark and "not delivered' shows on screen when I ry and text certain people. I know for a fact that my number is not blocked by the receipients?

    I've just realised, further to my earlier question - that the people I am trying to text do not have Iphones? Could this make a difference? (Although I have text them in the past)

  • Can't send FIOS/Yahoo e-mail using Thunderbird

    I've seen other posts about this but cannot find anything that helped.
    I'm trying to set up Thunderbird to send e-mail using my new FIOS/Yahoo e-mail address which is [email protected]  The ISP on the computer from which I am trying to send is Verizon FIOS.  I can receive e-mails in Thunderbird but cannot send.
    I have tried both using SMTS outgoing.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.  For incoming I had to use incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and it works.
    I've tried using Port 25 and Port 587.
    I've input my username both with and without the @verizon.net
    For "Secure Connection" I've tried all choices:  No, TLS, if available, TLS and SSL.
    Whenever I try to send an e-mail it usually asks for my password twice and after inputting it the second time I get a version of this message:
    The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.verizon.net failed.  The server may be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections.  Please verify that your SMTP server setting is correct and try again, or else contact your network administrator.
    Any advice?  Thanks.
    Solved!

  • I don't know what happened, all of a sudden, the content of here body of my email is not displayed. I can only see the preview lines. I must have inadvertently touched some thing, any idea what happened?

    I don't know what happened, the body of my email was not displayed any more. I must have unknowingly pressed something on my I Pad to cause this to happen ? I can read the preview lines ok, but not the mail itself, any idea how to fix this?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Or...
    Double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    Tap and hold any icon until it wiggles
    Press the red to delete the Mail app
    Press the home twice button when done.

  • HT204053 I am unable to login to iCloud on my PC laptop. I receive a connection error message.

    I m unable to login to iCoud from my PC laptop. I receive a connection error message>

    The inability to log into iCloud.com (sporadic problem), use Contacts, Calendar, Notes, etc. (consistent problem), send error reports (consistent problem) from a PC seems to be a common problem; perhaps going back to November/December of last year.
    I can only respond based on my findings with Windows 7 (Home Premium and Pro) running on three Dell PCs (2 Desktops and 1 Laptop). It appears that the problem results from an add-on to the 32-bit version of IE9 (Windows default browser). The 64-bit version of IE9, since Windows 7 does not allow it to be the default browser, doesn’t seem to be affected by the problematic add-on and seems to work flawlessly when accessing iCloud.com. It appears that most add-on’s aren’t designed to integrate with the 64-bit version of IE9, only the commonly used 32-bit version.
    In my case Norton Internet Security (Browser Protection) was the add-on preventing the 32-bit version of IE9 from working with iCloud.com. Temporarily disabling NIS’s Browser Protection allowed the 32-bit version of IE9 to work fine. Perhaps the browser protection add-on in other security software packages causes the same type problem.
    The workaround that I would recommend is downloading and using Apple’s Safari version 5.1.7. to access iCloud.com. It consistently works!!!! To make things easier with Safari, I made iCloud.com its Homepage. I’m using it to access iCloud.com from all of my PCs.
    Until Apple, Microsoft, or Norton (in my case) figure out where the problem is, you'll need a workaround to consistently access and use iCloud.com and I think Safari is the best answer.

  • I am trying to connect my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password, so I reset it and it is working.  I can't figure out how to reset my router password and lock it on my iMac.

    I am connecting my new iMac to my Buffalo router.  I forgot my router password so I pushed the reset button and my computer was able to connect.  The problem is, I can't figure out how to set my new password and lock the router.  I went to the Buffalo website and downloaded the CD, as I can't find that either.  I can't open any of it because it says it is Windows and can't open it.  I am new to Apple!

    Ah, new to routers too.
    Perhaps it's best to have a local computer support person come set you up?
    To explain everything would require writing a book here.
    But this is what you want basically.
    Router, new Wireless N, firmware updated.
    1: Two accounts, one admin, one guest Internet access. Random +30 plus character lenght passwords each preferred.
    (guest password to max password length of any iDevices)
    2: Encryption: WPA2 AES. No Ping. No remote access. No MAC filtering. Visible.
    3: Guest access on devices and computers only.  Passwords written down and stored.
    4: OpenDNS preferred but not mandatory.
    If you get OpenDNS, you can log into their website for free and set parental controls on things like inappropriate sites for children. So whatever device is used on your network can't access a large portion of those sites (nothing is perfect) by most users who are not technical oriented.
    What your doing now is running the bare bones unsecure router which can be used harmfully against you.
    Even a Apple Airport router has to be very well secured. The defautl cd and out of the box setup is not a secure solution.

  • I want to transfer an audiobook and a movie from my MacBook Pro to my iPhone 4S, and can't figure out how.  I went to "Help" and it said after connecting the two devices I should "Click Apps," but I can't find anything labeled "Apps" to click.  Help?!!

    If you have iTunes 11 on your Mac then you can enable the left-hand sidebar via option-command-S, that might make it easier to navigate.
    Connect the phone to your Mac and select it on that left-hand sidebar, and on the right-hand side of the screen there should be a series of tabs which you can use to select what to sync to the phone. If it's an audiobook then it should appear on the Books tab for selecting/syncing, and films will be on the Movies tab. When you've got the audiobook on your phone you should get an Audiobooks option in the Music app (you might need to tap the '...' tab at the bottom of the Music app to see it).

    To be honest not being able to send or recieve messages and data is a carrier issue, not a phone issue since u said that your calls are working, if i were you my first course of action would be to get a new sim card from virgin mobile, or to restore the device as new one more time, if you restore the device as new AND get a new sim card from your carrier and those features still dont work, i would take the device to an apple store

  • Firefox seems to be my only browser that puts ads on my Facebook page. How can I stop this? I love Firefox but hate the ads and will use another browser until it's solved.

    Whenever I open Facebook through Firefox I get pop up ads and such. I do not seem to get this when using other browsers like Safari or IE. It's sooo annoying!!! I will use another browser until it's solved.

    Since you have encountered the problem at other sites, not just Firefox, I'd bet that it is an Internet Explorer problem, not the web sites. Actually, I am sure it is an IE problem.
    Try running Windows Update, perhaps there are some updates for Internet Explorer that might resolve the problem. If you don't know how to run Windows Update, use the Help on your system to look for information on Windows Update.
    If that does not help, use Google to search for information on IE9 locking up when downloading.
