Importing email Via POP to Verizon web email

I just tried to set up a friend's verizon email to go to another email account (outside verizon) and import emails from there.
I am pretty sure I did everything correctly but the emails are not coming
across.  It also told me it was set up correctly.
I clicked on a link on the lower and got a window to select from a whole
mess (yahoo, aol,....).  I had to select Other.  I provided the email
address, password, pop server.  It said all was set up.
But none of the new emails in that account come over to the verizon email.  I have set up accounts on Roadrunner, gmail, hotmail, Outlook, and Outlook express to access this same server. 
I was pretty sure it wouldn't work because the verizon set up process didn't give me places to specify SSL, "Server requires Authentication" etc.
How can I get this set up correctly?
Also, is there a way to set up imap?
Thanks
Pete

It sounds as though you are trying to "add an account" to VZ webmail, and that's not going to work.  This function is not supported as it is in, for example, Google or Outlook.com.  Instead you must use any suitable email client that allows as many accounts as you need (including of course VZ mail servers).  Also, VZ doesn't support Imap.

  • POP & SMTP verizon email not working since 11/12

    Windows LiveMail & Outlook stopped working w/ my verizon email accts. several days ago. Settings are correct, have validated numerous times. Tried repairing Windows Live Essentials, etc. The only way I can get my verizon email is to use a web browser.
    Tried disabling Bitdefender Total Security 2015 firewall & antivirus but no change. There's no virus or trojan on the laptop.
    Tried pinging smtp.verizon.net and pop.verizon.net. Request timed out on both.
    Windows Live Mail error:

    Hi, the resolve for me was to change mail clients. Windows LiveMail, despite repairing Windows Essentials 2012 had hit the wall. I switched to Thunderbird which worked w/ my verizon mail accts. I also changed my Verizon web mail setting to save the sent mail on the server. Apparently that made a difference. Without that switched on my mail would not come into a mail client anymore. Despite everything working perfectly for years and no changes on my end (that I'm aware of). Also would not rule out a Windows Update that could have caused this, as they install automatically.

  • Where are imported emails stored on verizon email account

    Recently switched over from Comcast to Verizon and used True Switch to import old emails to new verizon account.  Email indicates everything was imported however only contacts show available.  Where are the imported emails.  Can't find them in inbox. Please help!

    they should have created a folder in your webmail inbox.  
    so you sign in at http://webmail.verizon.net
    you will have inbox, sent trash etc..
    there should be another folder there.

  • Email via POP on iPhone 4S?

    I am trying to set my iPhone 4S to download my email (from gmail) via POP rather than IMAP, but can't seem to do it. Google's instructions say there should be a tab to tap to switch from IMAP to POP, but I can't find it. Has the POP option been disabled in IOS5 or IPhone 4S, please?

    Just for the record everyone. After the update to 5.0.1 If you have enabled iCloud on setup after you did a restore and erase-- if you had update problems as I did with my wife's iPhone-- the setup for mail is different. When you try to resetup your old email account in the mail app under the "other" tab it defaults to IMAP only --you do NOT get a choice to choose IMAP or POP (as above with Rick) after the first setup screen. Why? Lord only knows. Well, I called apple tech support and they were of no help at all and essentially shrugged their collective shoulders.
             You will all be happy to know that I have solved this problem on my own and I think it bears repeating to all of you, as I am sure others have come upon this problem as well. The solution appears to be to turn off iCloud and delete the iCloud account (keep the data on your phone of course) in settings and then turn off push notifications. Then restart your phone. You may have to restart twice. Then try setting up your mail account under "other". Then when you have filled out the first setup acct screen and go to the next screen. Volia!  You should then see the option on the next setup screen to choose IMAP or POP. You can then input the settings as per your POP account as specified by your carrier. One note however, the verify process may take up to a minute or more--very slow for some reason when setting up as a POP acct. Anyway, I thought this was weird because under 5.0-- I would get the option after first email setup screen to choose HTTP, IMAP or POP??
               My theory is that somehow IMAP gets defaulted as the only choice because iCloud operates that way if enabled etc. You can then turn iCloud back on as well as resetup acct-- as well as push notifications and your POP email acct should still continue to work as configured. I think this is a definite glitch or bug with the update to 5.0.1? I knew that POP was still supported since my iPhone did not need to be reset or erased after the update to 5.0.1 and my POP acct was still there working as configured but if I tried to add another POP acct under "Other" it would also only default straight to IMAP after setup screen. Very weird Bug to say the least.
                 I hope that helps some of you out there. I have reported this bug to Apple officially.  My setup is an iPhone 4S as is my wife's with ios 5.0.1

  • Email Missing from the Verizon Web interface (2012 only)- Lucky I use Zoho

    From 3/28 till 5/24 for the year 2012 I see no email in the verizon web interface. Total now is  about 150 emails, all from 5/25- today are fine, I also see older stuff. The point Since I went to verizon 4 years ago I have never used the web interface, I used to use outlook, then in July of 2011 I switched to ZOHO - and there I have all my mail.  In the period mentioned (3/28 till 5 /24 I did not make any changes, could someone have gotten into my account and deleted them ? I never share passwords and the trash is empty. Thanks J

    I have the same problem. I use Thunderbird and I removed some e-mails from it knowing I could retrieve it from the web. Wrong!!! My TB account is set to not remove from web when I get it. The most that remains on the web are 10. I'll be going on vacation hoping to get my emails off the web, but I sure can't count on it. Don't want to dump Verizon and go through the hassle of notifying my contacts of a change in e-mail accounts and hoping they remember to change it.

  • Tough Decision: Gmail Web Interface or Gmail Via Pop Using Mac Mail

    Thought I would open a discussion about this since I have been having a tough time making a decision. I love using Gmail's web interface but hate losing the integration with Mac OS. I forward all my email from different providers to my Gmail so I can access all my email from any computer. This is very handy for me.
    I have tried using the mail app to access gmail via pop, but one thing I hate is when I reply to an email from a different provider than gmail it will use the gmail reply address. Gmail's web interface will use the account that the email was sent to as the reply address automatically.
    I am almost certain that others are in the same quandry as I am. If so, what is your solution?
    20" iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    You can enter the email addresses for your other providers in Mail and have them show up in a pop-up menu when you compose new mail; then you can select which address to use as the outgoing mail address.
    Go to Mail->Preferences->Accounts, and undeer the Account Information, look for the Email Address field (below the Description filed). Enter your other email addresses in there, separated by commas, then close the Preferences and Save the changes.
    Now create a new email and the pop-up menu should let you choose which email address will show up on the email.

  • Do imported emails from pst files get saved to Exchange Server?

    So I exported a user's email into a pst file and I'm importing all of them into his new email address.  My question is whether these newly imported emails will be only available locally or will they be uploaded into the Exchange server (which is TWC's
    hosted service) and therefore he'll be able to  access them from his phone as well?  If they are not uploaded, how would I go about to making these emails available on his phone through his new email address as well then?

    Hi th0rax,
    yes, if you imported mails from a PST file to the Exchange Mailbox you will be able to Access them from Outlook, OWA and ActiveSync where you habe Access to your Mailbox.
    I suggest you should do that via new-mailboximportrequest (http://technet.microsoft.com/de-de/library/ff607310(v=exchg.150).aspx) if it is a big PST file and maybe a longer
    list of users.
    You can also Import via Outlook but in that case you need to have that Outlook Client running until "All Folders are up to date" and the new Mailbox Content was replicated to your Servers Mailbox after the Import was done.

  • How do i import email addresses to an ipad?

    can i import email addresses from an online account (surewest) to my ipad?

    Fire Fox is a web browser, not an an email provider. If you are using web based email, you have to check on the email providers site and see if there is a way for you to export the contacts to your computer's address book and then you can sync them to the iPad using iTunes.

  • Can I import email addresses from a contact group into a new email?

    Import email addresses?  I'm trying to send an electronic invitation to a group of about 50 people.  I have to enter each of their email addresses, and rather than typing them one by one, I'm wondering if I can import all of their email addresses from a group I created in my Address Book.  I'm sending the invitation through the company's website, nut my email, so the email address does not appear when I start typing their names.  Thanks!

    Open a new message and start typing the groups name in the 'To' field works for me. Some e-mail providers have limits on how many addressees can be in one e-mail.

  • Recommendation for a new feature - alert when an important email arrives

    Why can't I set my iPhone to give me an alert when an important email arrives?  This new feature would alert me when I get an email from a predetermined sender or subject line.  AOL offers this feature.  Why can't my iPhone do it too?  The phone would need to read the sender address and subject line of each email, and then bounce it against a list of pre-configured alerts that the user programs. 
    This would also cut down on data consumption, since users would not have to check and recheck their mail when waiting for somethign important.  With an alert, you just set it and forget it.

    iOS 6, coming this fall, will include a new feature that allows you to designate a VIP list for just this purpose.  This feature will be supported on the iPhone 4.  See "Mail" here: http://www.apple.com/ios/ios6/.

  • Spotlight Doesn't Search Imported Email Folders

    I recently bought a new Macbook Pro 15in. (first Mac) and used PST Converter Pro to convert about 20,000 emails from Outlook on my PC. From what I can tell, the emails seem to be all there and I can read them just fine. I cannot, however, use Spotlight to find anything in the On My Mac/Import Folders. All the indexing options for Spotlight are turned on. How do I get search to work for these imported emails?

    You can use the terminal command:
    mdimport -L
    to see the list of importers that are installed. Also, the following is probably irrelevant to your issue, but you can diagnose individual files to see how they're indexed by Spotlight:
    mdimport -d1 file
    This shows the UTI (type) of the file or folder. If you get a dynamic UTI for a folder, that probably means Spotlight is not indexing the folder's contents. So far I don't know how to fix a dynamic UTI.
