What settings are you using? What error are you getting? Is your account a straight Verizon account or is it partnered with Yahoo?

  • New email settings for Mac Mail & 3rd party...

    Anyone have instructions for new email port settings for users who are:
    -Using Mac Mail
    -Using third mail email service provider (i.e., not sending and receiving through a Verizon address)
    Thanks,
    Pardon me while I rant (I'm hoping a Verizon employee reads this)...
    I use my third party email account exclusively. It's listed on my verizon account page. So, does verizon do the logical thing and send announcements to my third party email address (?) - of course not, they send them to the verizon address which I have never once used in years.
    New port settings for some email users...
    I got a phone call from an automated Verizon attendant telling me to check the following for new port settings for some email users:
    http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/HighSpeed/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/124333.htm
    I guess Verizon hasn't heard that there are millions of people using Mac computers, with Mac Mail as their email clients. And, some of these users are using obscure third party email service providers with names like 'Google'. On the above linked page, there are no instructions for these users.
    I tried to use the online live support feature to get a clarification about using the new port settings. A polite gentleman with a long Indian name told me he couldn't help me and gave me an 800 number to call. After calling the 800 number, a nice lady in the Philippines (on a terrible voice connection) told me she couldn't help me - she transferred me to another department where I waited and waited and waited. I finally had to hang up.
    I'm beginning to think that Verizon is a division of the United States Postal Service. Come to think of it, I get much better service from the USPS than I get from Verizon.

    Are you using the Mac Mail client or Verizon's netmail?

  • New email settings

    Need help making email setting changes as written in recent email from verizon

    Warning to iMac users when attempting to change the POP settings as per Verizon's request:
    My husband had difficulty setting up the new email settings today, as Verizon had asked us to do via email notice, so he contacted Verizon by phone.  Someone attempted to walk him through the process and took control of our computer.  In so doing, the Verizon representative inadvertently deleted every email we ever wrote.  All of our emails with work information, personal information, all of it -- gone.  
    When my husband informed me of what happened, I contacted Verizon again and was told, "Oh yeah, that happens sometimes with Mac Mail."  I also contacted Apple, and there was nothing they could do.  There were a few emails from earlier today that were still available, but all of the other emails, thousands of them -- gone.  Unfortunately, while I had been keeping all of my emails on Mac Mail, on my hard drive, I regularly delete my emails from the Verizon.net website, so retrieving them from there was not an option.
    It is mind-boggling to me that Verizon has no way to retrieve my emails -- that they deleted -- from their main server.  I find that very hard to believe.  I can understand how my hard drive may have eradicated them -- but I can't believe that they are truly gone.
    Please be warned if you have an iMac or other Apple computer -- If you are dealing with the new changes verizon is asking customers to complete, you could lose all of your prior email.  Please back up your emails before attempting to complete their instructions.

  • Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends OK. Mail server is working

    Hello
    As I said above, Mail will not show new emails on my Mac Air but sends mails OK. The Mail server is working because my iPad is receiving and displaying incoming messages.
    Your advice is most welcome.
    Thanks!

    Thunderbird successfully displays all of my e-mail accounts in the list of accounts and displays all of the inboxes correctly however it doesn't display the e-mails at my newest address in the unified inbox. To see them, I have to click on that particular e-mail accounts inbox. In every way, this account appears to be set up the same as the all the other ones. The newest e-mail account is a second account through Zoho. What do you think is the problem?

    Thank you. I had to select the search from the menu instead og by right clicking but it worked just the same.

  • New email settings and Quickbooks

    The new email settings work just fine for me with Thunderbird, but I also email out through Quickbooks for business.  The new settings do not work in Quickbooks, but the old ones still do. 
    POP3 Server
    incoming.verizon.net
    pop.verizon.net
    YES
    995
    SMTP Server
    outgoing.verizon.net
    smtp.verizon.net
    YES
    465
    I will add that the Quickbooks email settings are called "web mail" so not sure if the new settings even apply. 
    Thanks!

    This did not work. Talked toverizon and quickbooks tech support and hopefully find fix soon.

  • New Email Settings - Verizon Email 14 Dec 2011

    Before making any port or other setting changes to my email program, I would like verification that the email Verizon sent out yesterday is legit.  I followed the link and it took me to http://www22.verizon.com/ResidentialHelp/FiOSInternet/Email/Setup+And+Use/QuestionsOne/124289.htm?CM... which listed several steps and other links for various versions of Outlook. 
    In reading other posts in this section, I see others have are having problems with the new settings and had to change the new back to the old, regardless of the program used. 
    If anyone from Verizon can verify the legitimacy of this, or if it has been, and I just did not see it, please do so.
    Thank you!

    Fully tested, and hundreds of thousands are using it successfully.  The only thing you should have been changing was the two ports and setting ssl on. 
    Check all your email settings. Suggested/required settings for regular verizon (not yahoo, etc)
    pop3
    outgoing requires authentication
    outgoing.verizon.net 587, 465(SSL)
    Incoming.verizon.net 110, 995(SSL)
    Apop is supported for password authentication

  • New Email Settings and Westell Firewall Settings: May need adjustment to work

    I have a Westell 7500 wireless router at work.
    Old A90 modem and linksys wireless router at home.
    Made the email server setting changes at home on a desktop, laptop and two iPhones.  All worked fine.
    Took iPhone and laptop to work. Verizon email wound not work on either.  Outlook 2010 reported send/receive failure.
    Tried to setup Office desktop with new email server settings: could not do it: the test email would fail every time.
    After hours of research and frustration, EUREKA!
    The firewall settings on the Westell 7500 were set too high and blocking the ports that Verizon now wants to use for mail.
    Changed the firewall setting on the Westell router to "Minimum", clicked Apply and everything immediately worked.  The iPhone, the laptop and now I can make the changes to the desktop and it works with the new settings.
    So, yes, the router that Verizon supplied, using its recommended settings (Medium for firewall) blocks the ports that Verizon says we must now use for email.
    (Note that an alternative solution may be port forwarding the new port values - I did not try this.)

    Does anyone know if Verizon supplies the actual port setting changes needed on the Westell modems in order to make their new email port requirement changes work???
    I mean, they can't be serious with the whole "just change your firewall security to Low!"  instructions, can they...?
    I can't imagine a real internet company whose only suggestions for implementing server changes they've made are  "lower your security".
    Surely after all this time, they must have a page posted on their site somewhere that has complete instructions for the Westell firewalls which allow us to continue to use Verizon SMTP servers without lowering our firewall security across the board.....especially since their own rationale for making these changes is stated as being to increase security!
    If anyone finds a link to those instructions, please post it.

  • New email settings causing time outs or not working

    So they send me a notice to change my email settings as soon as possible in which I did as instructed. It ether just runs, hangs or times out. I hate to call these people and talk to "John" or "Jane" -sigh-.   Any ideas?
    Thanks!

  • New email settings don't work

    I've been warned 3 times to change my email server settings to pop.verizon.net and stmp.verizon.net.
    Each time I do this, my Mac Mail shows I'm not connected to any network. Consequently, I get no mail. What's up wth that?
    When I switch it back to the "wrong" setting, it works again.
    Related or not: I use a virtual address, and my email stopped forwarding sometime between 6:30 and 7:30pm last night. This has never happened before, in years of using this system.
    Additionally, the InHome Assistant does not recognize my Verizon User ID. The Email Assist online tells me how to set up a NEW account, not to fix my current one. Sure would like to get some help...
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Many have reported similar issues, . Deleteing the existing  email acct. then creating it fresh seems to work. You may also need to delete keychain for the old accout settings.
    these the new settings:
    Server
    Current Setting
    New Setting
    SSL Enabled
    Port
    POP3 Server
    incoming.verizon.net
    pop.verizon.net
    YES
    995
    SMTP Server
    outgoing.verizon.net
    smtp.verizon.net
    YES
    465
    You may have to reinstall Inhome but as many have advised nearly all the features contained in it are available via online.
    PS. when you say virtual address do you refer to an alias?

  • New email settings sort of work in iMac Mail

    I got the "update your settings" email and dutifully made the changes in the Preferences of Mail. Incoming test message worked fine. Outgoing test message hung for a while, then demanded my password (which it should already have had, but I'm guessing timing issues made it forget that), and eventually passed the message. I REALLY hope this behavior was an aberration because taking four minutes to send one small plain text message seems ridiculous.
    It would be lovely if Verizon instructions covered non Windows boxes, but fortunately I've played with my Preferences before so it wasn't a totally foreign thing. 

    Can you provide a screenshot of your settings? (Obscuring any personal info, of course.) Can you provide the error message you are getting?
    Many people have gotten the new settings to work on Mac platforms, but without seeing your settings it is going to be very hard to figure out where the problem is.

  • Contacing my address book that I have a new email address, my mac address

    Can someone help? I just discontinued my comcast service and will use my mac.com as my main email address. Is there a way I can contact my address book globally?
    Thanks,
    Ron

    Start a new message. Select all the contacts and drag them to the BCC field of the new message. Put your email address in the To field. Add a subject and some text and click Send.
    If you have more than 200 contacts it would be better to send them in groups of less than 200, and not do more than one group a day.

  • How to update my new email on my Mac for icloud

    I have changed to a gmail account and have managed to update my iphone and ipad.  However, my Mac does not seem to recognize the change, when I go into system preferences it still shows my old email address and it won't let me make any changes.  Please advise me as to what I need to do.
    Thank you,
    Kelly Milford

    Well, you shouldn't necessarily edit the old email address.  You should add the new one.  Go under the File menu >> Add Account.

  • New Email Settings on iPad

    I have input the new settings into my email accounts on my iPad (IOS 5), but they do not work for incoming mail.  I am a Verizon DSL subscriber.  They seem to work fine for outgoing mail, but incoming produces an error message.  Has anyone been successful with these new settings on an iPad?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I found on both my iPad 4 and my iPhone 4S that I could not just change the names of the pop and smtp servers on my current e-mail settings. Every time I tried, I received an error message that either the pop or smtp server could not be found.
    What finally worked for me was to turn my FIOS e-mail account off and then add a new account with the new server names. Just in case that is not clear enough, under Mail accounts in settings, I selected my FIOS account and made it in-active, then I created the new Mail account.
