Is it possible to switch from Verizon Yahoo email account to a basic Verizon.net 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.

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU to the original iTunes on an iPad. If it is can someone explain how to do it?

Is it possible to switch from the preinstalled iTunesU on my iPad to the original iTunes. If it is can someone tell me how, and is this something that commonly happens?

I'm not sure what you are asking. There is no "preinstalled iTunesU" on an iPad. The iTunes app is a portal to the iTunes Store. Use the icons at the bottom of the page to switch to different sections of the store. Use the Music app or the Videos app to access iTunes media you have synced to the iPad.

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.

My macbook air was stolen from checked baggage. I have the box with all the information. Is there a way to disable this device? Block it from my Yahoo email? Locate it? Any ideas?

HI, My Macbook Air was stolen this week from my checked baggage.
I have the box with all the information SN etc.. Is there a way to disable this device? Block it from my Yahoo email? Locate it? Any ideas?

If you activated "Find My Mac" in iCloud before the loss, maybe. Otherwise no.

How does iCloud have anything to do with this, you have 2 email accounts, neither of them an iCloud account?
If you want to get Gmail on your iPhone add it to your iPhone. Same goes for Outlook.

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.

Switching back from Verizon Yahoo email to Verizon email - folders

Can anyone tell me if we make the switch back from the Verizon Yahoo mail to the old Verizon email will our folders be preserved? If not, is there a way to make sure our saved items move over? I was thinking moving everything back to the inbox may work but I don't want to mess it up because there are some things that I can't lose.
Thanks!

No, when you switch from Verizon/Yahoo to plain Verizon, your emails and contacts will be lost.

Is it possible to switch from Office 365 online user management to Active Directory after Exchange online migration?

If we utilize the Cutover method to migrate from on-premise Exchange (2007) to Office 365, which to my understanding will hand over user management/authentication to Office 365 online during the process, is possible to later switch from Office 365 user management
to Active Directory (synced to a future local domain, or even possibly via AD federation single sign-on)? If so, how difficult is this process and is there any documentation available?
Asking this because the organization I'm working for plans to upgrade (re-do actually) its entire infrastructure. There will be a completely brand new domain/AD set up that's totally unrelated to the old one. At the same time, we also plan to migrate
all emails (previously hosted locally on Exchange 2007) to Office 365 and get rid of local exchange. Now because we will set up new domain, we do not want to carry over the older AD to the cloud, hence we will not use the "Staged Migration".
So the plan is to to use "Cutover" migration first, which means all authentications will become Office 365 managed. That's fine for now. But later, after we set up our new domain and AD controller etc, we'd like to have Exchange Online switch back
to syncing with our new on-premise AD. We'd also like to consider the AD Federation Services if it's not too complicated to set up.
Your advice on this would be greatly appreciated!

In principle, you cannot sync back from the cloud AD to the on-prem, yet. But you can take advantage of the soft-matching mechanism once you have the new AD in place:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2641663
Be careful though, as the moment you turn on Dirsync, all the matching users in the cloud will have their attributes overwritten. A very good idea is to do an 'export' of the cloud AD first, using the WAAD module for PowerShell and the Get-MsolUser cmdlets,
which you can then use to compare or import data in the new on-prem AD. Some links:

AVG says your server messed up my Verizon Yahoo email. The line that reads delete, move, not spam, more...does not load. I can see my email, I just cannot open

I just spent over 5 hours in computer share with AVG. They said your server messed up my email account. I can get to my email account, but the line that reads "delete, move, not spam, more" never loads...therefore, I cannot delete email or anything else. My email account is at verizon yahoo. I need access to my email for various reasons, one of them being I pay many bills online and my email account is where I get certification that the payment went through!! My email will work through IE, though. I do not want to utilize IE to see my email...I use Firefox for everything and it would be a pain in the butt to have to switch to IE to access my email. Not to mention, I loathe IE--it's like using WEBTV! It's soooooo slow.... [email address removed, please do not post sensitive information in a public forum] is my email...

Did the support person have you do the usual:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Yahoo.com cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Any improvement?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

Setting up Outlook 2010 as email client for Verizon Yahoo email fails

I am trying to set up Outlook 2010 as my email client in Verizon Yahoo. I have reached the Internet E-mail Settings window in Outlook 2010 and entered the settings specified in the Verizon Yahoo! Internet Help file titled "How do I receive my VerizonYahoo! Mail using a different email program?". When I test the account settings I get an error message telling me that the server responded : 530 authentication required. Help.

Using my recently obtained Windows 8 64 bit, I have not been able to get Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer Share File Attachments or Photo Mail to work. From what I have read, Windows 8 has a problem with POP servers. But I suspect that what we are encountering goes beyond that.
At the onset, my only choice was Adobe Email Services for the Email client. After I installed Windows Live Mail 2011, I then had the choice for EMail Client of Windows Live Mail 2011 as well as Adobe Email client but neither solved the problem of no email generated.
a. For Adobe Email Service, used three different email addresses, got valid verification codes for each, was told by the program that I was good to email, yet after the email was prepared, no email with send button was generated for emailing.
b. I have looked at the system with two different anti-virus program...first McAfee and then Windows Defender.
c. I have changed the send to email addresses.
d. I have had no better luck using Windows 8 built in Mail app. In fact, my lack of success with the Photoshop Elements Photo mail feature and the Windows 8 built in Mail app was the reason for my looking for alternatives.
On a comparative note, when I use Photoshop Elements 11 in Windows 7 64 bit, I have the same problem with Adobe Email Service as the Email client. However, if Windows Live Mail 2011 is the Email client, no problems..email generated and sent successfully.
So based on my result, I would say that the answer to your question
"Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?"
is Yes.
If Photoshop Elements 11 support says there should be no problem with this feature in Windows 8, then I would also be interested in knowing the details of its use of the feature to get the expected Photo Mail and File Attachment results.

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.

Verizon Yahoo email on Mac Mail App

Hi,
A friend of mine just got a brand new macbook pro with leopard. I'm trying to set up the mail app so he can get his email from his Verizon Yahoo account. I've set the whole thing up and he can receive messages but cannot send any outgoing mail. Any solutions?

in mail>preferences>accounts>account information you will see an outgoing mail server (smtp) field, click on the drop down list, is the smtp server for your friend's verizon email account there? if not you may want to choose edit list and add it. if it is there does it have the correct settings? select edit list, and check both panes, account info and advanced and check if the info is correct there.
also if you friend uses his/her macbook pro somewhere else than home, where presumably Verizon provides the internet connection, say at a friend's place with another ISP, then, maybe he/she will have to add the appropriate outgoing mail server to that list in order to send, as maybe that ISP at that friend's place may prevent from sending when using the Verizon setting.
hope this helps

I have been having the same problen since july 2010. I have 1 main account and 2 sub accounts. All 3 can send email, but the emails to the 2 sub accounts are bounced back with
Remote host said: 550 5.1.1 unknown or illegal alias:
I downloaded the verizon in home agent, talked to several verizon on line help agents who did a remote assist session. I have to explain the problem over and over again and they do the same thing over and over again. I know the definition of insanity, however the sub accounts still do not work.
Contact tech support through one of the options on the Contact Us page. Explain the issue and that you need a ticket sent to the "OSC" for this issue to get resolved. If they won't create a ticket for you, ask to speak to a supervisor. (Being polite will get you further than yelling, trust me.)
The error you are getting means that what Verizon has in their system for that account does not match what Yahoo has in their system. This is not something that first-level support is going to be able to resolve.
