Important message concerning your verizon email account

I received the email concerning changes to our email account. Why isn't Windows Live Mail one of the options for other email accounts than my verizon?

Here is a link to a thread that I created here documenting the Windows Live Mail settings for SSL that I have been using successfully for many months:

Important Changes to your Verizon Email Account

I just received this in my inbox and not sure if it legit or not, please advise. I havenot accessed any of the links yet.
Thanks
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

Its legit, Lots of talk about it. However just in case someone is faking copies of the real message, don't click on the links. Instead type in the verizon addresses mentioned. Another board member, Justin, has also posted some nice examples of how to configure several of the popular emails clients.
I, for one, configured my email for my machines as soon as someone posted that Verizon was enabling SSL many months ago. Really important on laptops where you connect through other, often unsecured, networks.

RE: Action Required Now - Important Changes to your Verizon Email Account

OK, so I easily changed the recommended settings from Verizon in my Apple email account.
But when it comes to changing any of those server settings on my Samsung Galaxy ... I don't see instructions anywhere, including the smart phone manual.
What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If so, I can figure out how to change the settings, but where do I find information regarding SSL Enabled and the Ports?
Thanks.
Is this change required? YES. At some future date they will phase out the old servers.
The settings are all well documented. For many devices, but not all, the details have been posted by Verizon or by various of your peers.

Email from Verizon titled "Important Changes to Your Verizon Email Account"

I have read all the additional information available online as well as all the posts on the previous thread about this topic and I still have a question. Both of my IMac desktops have the Entourage email client. I attempted to change the incoming and outgoing settings and they do not work. Does anyone have any information on the appropriate setting changes for Entourage or are these changes only applicable to Microsoft email clients?

Go to the following page and select Apple Mail for the correct settings you need. https://www.verizon.com/ForYourHome/VZRepair/vziha/Service.aspx?ihaweb=EmailSetup&CMP=DMC-CVZ_ZZ_ZZ_...

Using Eudora or Netscape7 for non-verizon email accounts with FIOS for access

Since Verizon does not give tech support to 3rd party email clients, and using a non-Verizon email account creates additional problems, I decided to share what I learned the very hard way....certainly with no help whatever from Verizon tech support.
First of all, there may have been a time (a day, a month, some random nanosecond) when you had to change the port to 587 it is no longer the case. Port 25 works just fine, and in fact 587 no longer works in most cases. So ignore tech support's claim that all you have to do is change the port number to 587...don't do it.
And so long as you want to use a pop account other than verizon for your incoming email you will have to use what is referred to as SMTP Relay. Verizon tech support will tell you that Verizon no longer supports SMTP Relay, and technically speaking that is true, but Verizon SMTP Relay is not what you need anyway. What you need is to use the SMTP Relay facility of your Email Client, in my case Eudora and (for my wife) Netscape 7.
Now before you can actually do anything you will have to have a valid Verizon email account, even if you never plan to actually use your verizon email address. That means before you can set up your email client you must have a verizon email address. The tech who installed my FIOS supposedly set up my computer, which meant I had internet access, but he didn't set up the verizon email address. I wasted 2 days before this came to light...so just make sure you have one before starting.
Netscape 7.0 has an email client my wife has used forever so I had to make it work for Verizon FIOS. Fortunatly they have a built in SMTP Relay facility (although they never call it that). You set up your pop (incoming) server the way you always have. In my our email accounts are on Earthlink, so you use the earthlink POP server for your incoming email. If you are switching from whatever you have to Verizon FIOS, you will already have that set up anyway. But you will have to change the SMTP server address to outgoing.verizon.net and you will have to click the box that says Use Authentication, with User Name and Password. You will put into the User Name your verizon email account except without the .verizon.net And the first time you use this Client to send email it will ask your for your password (use your Verizon password) and you should check the box that says to remember this password. This will make everything work fine. You will see on the SMTP Server information page a box that allows you to fill in the port. If you leave it blank it will use port 25. If you put in another port number it has to be right, and what is the correct number keeps changing based on which verizon person you talk to. I found that 25 works, although they say it won't, and that others don't work, although they say they will.
To Use Eudora (as i do) first you have to be using the latest version 7.1 because it appears to be the first one that truely supports SMTP Relay. That's a free download if you don't have it. Then you have to use multiple personalities. Effectively you set up one personality (go to to tools and click on personalities) which is your normal email account (ie not your verizon one). This is used for everything with the exception of the SMTP Server interaction. YOu then set up a second personality which is for your Verizon email account. Be aware that you can still have that account use your normal email return address so folks who receive email from you can reply to your normal email address. You can, independantly from that set up your incoming email pop account to be either your normal one or your verizon incoming email account (I do it the later way so I can receive something actually sent to my Verizon account, although I never give that out. But now the important thing is that you set up your SMTP server to be outgoing.verizon.net set up User Name to be your verizon email account but without the verizon.net and click on Authentication Allowed and Use Relay Personality. Don't click on Use submission port 587, like I said you want to use 25, but if verizon has changed that yet again no problem as you can set up the port to use independantly using the Tools/Options/Ports , and finally you go to the Tools/Options/SendingMail stuff and select the SMTP Relay Personality to be the one that is set up for the Verizon email account. That means your client will operate using your primary personality for everything except the SMTP part and for that it will get all its parameters from the Relay Personality.
This all worked.

I use Eudora a my email client and routinely receive both my Verizon and ATT emails.
The last email I received from my Verizon account was at 10:30pm on August 5. I cannot send emails from Eudora at all either.
My Verizon DSL email account is active through Verizon-Florida at my home there. I am currently at my Ohio home and the DSL account is with Frontier which purchased Verizon here in Ohio.
Does anyone know what might have happened to have resulted in my emails not being sent to or from my Eudora Client?

HT5622 Did you send an E-Mail message titling as follow; "Important message about your Apple Account!".

I recieved an Email which sounds very fraudelent. The E-Mail titling "Important message about your Apple Acount"?
It is asking for new nformation on my account and their website is "@Apple.ca".
I'm too scared to sign in to this website.

Hi,
I had the same email just now and foolishly provided my apple id and password. Straight away the penny dropped and i changed my id password and stopped my debit card.
Do you think im safe again?
Worried :-(

HT5361 I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

I want to delete my Verizon email account but I don't want to lose all of the messages I saved over the years into various mailboxes that I created "On My Mac" in Apple Mail. Will they be erased / deleted when I delete the account?

Yes, it's a POP account. I kinda thought that the old messages would be safe in mailboxes "On My Mac," but since it's an irrevocable choice, I was reluctant to pull the trigger. However, the suggestion above from keg55 relieves my concerns on that score; I'll make a backup copy before I delete the account just to be on the safe side.
Thanks very much to both WZZZ and keg55, I really appreciate it!

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device, and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider. How do I end this?

Email messages from my personal email account are being posted (copied) to SMS messages. I have a new cell device (swtched from Droid to iPhone) and this is happening on the new device also. The copy/forward to SMS is NOT being initiated by my email provider, and not by Gmail. How do I end ûVerizon's forwarding my personal email to SMS?
Thanks.

Maybe I'm missing something but how can Verizon have control over your personal GMail account? Sounds like you do have your email set up to forward to sms.
I have certain emails that are forwarded to me as SMS but that is an option that is enabled on the email side of things and is independent from Verizon.

Verizon email account hacked, need a Verizon email specialist to HELP me Please.....

My Verizon email account was hacked recently. My account has been sending out Viagra and Fat Pill emails to all of my contacts. I want to change my Verizon email account password. I've contacted Verizon through the {edited for privacy} phone number multiple times without any resolution. I've also setup at least 5 chat sessions without any resolution.
Each time, the technical support person guides me to changing my "My Verizon" password which is not connected to my Verizon/Yahoo email portal. This is getting frustrating, I want to change my email password not my "My Verizon" password. These systems apparently do not talk to each other.
I've searched the internet and this seems to be a known problem for other people as well. I need a Verizon email specialist to contact me to resolve this issue. Please help me.......

Sorry you are having difficulty, an agent with access to your account will reach out to you directly by email, private message in the Forums and/or the billing telephone number on your Verizon account for more information to help you resolve your issue.Please remember to check your spam/junk folder if you do not hear from an agent.

"Unable to send mail" using Verizon email account

No matter what I try, my Incredible will not send an email using my Verizon email account. I receive emails but cannot send. I've verified the account settings numerous times and the verifications always work. But I still get the "Unable to send mail" message. Initially I thought it was the port but I've tried both 25 and 587. Neither work. I know I've sent messages before but it's been a while. Anyone have any ideas?

I tried SSL with 25 and 587 (Verizon recommendation). Still no go.
BTW, there isn't any way to save the Mail size limit and Download options is there. Every time I go thru this I have to go back and set these up again.
Thanks again for your help.

Verizon email account is spamming my contacts list

At 5:03 AM on Tues. April 3, my verizon account sent a spam email out to my contacts list. A copy of one of the undeliverable messages that bounced back is below (I'm leaving the address in, because it's a dead address). These spam messages were sent while my computer was turned off, so apparently the Verizon server is the source.
Judging from a Google search and from this forum, the same thing is happening to many verizon email accounts, and the problem apparently is caused by someone hacking into the Verizon email servers. Any ideas on what a user can do to prevent / stop this from occuring?
I've already run virus scans and malware scans with several different products to make sure my computer is not the source. They all came up clean.
Obviously, do not click on the link in the sample message below.

First off, change your password. If someone hacked Verizon servers then they would have changed your password. This is more than likely due to a dictionary attack which happens everyday. Keeping a secure password is the best step.

Dictionary attacks use commonly used words to try and guess your passwords. After they gain access they send an email to every contact in order to spread. It is automated.

You could go to icloud.com on your computer, then download your iCloud calendar as an .ics file as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4910 (under Calendar...icloud.com Calendar), then import this to a supported program on your computer such as Outlook or Mac iCal (if you have one) and sync it to your phone using iTunes; or if you don't have a supported program, import it to an external service such as Google Calendar (see http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/30834/add-an-ical-or-.ics-calendar-to-google-cale ndar/) and sync it to your phone using a gmail exchange account (as explained here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740).

Email forwarding from my own domain to my verizon email account is taking a long time...

Email forwarding from my own domain to my verizon email account is taking a long time.
I have email addresses registered at moniker.com. When I send an email to an email address that is forwarding to my verizon email, it takes a long time to arrive.

Hmmm ... none of the header is showing this hitting the Verizon edge anywhere along the line. At some point the header has to show the mail transiting vztpa.verizon.com or vzsac.verizon.com which are intake servers for messages headed for Verizon. What I'm see in the header so far is that it took about 4-6 seconds (depending on what clocks you believe) to make from one end of the connection to the other.

Says there is a blocker?
Please provide the exact wording of the error message.
Any "blocker" would be on Verizon's end.
