New Verizon Email Setting Changes with Outlook 2011 on Mac

Verizon has not provided instructions for how to complete the required email settings changes in Outlook 2011 on a Mac. Hence, I am stuck, and unable to send email.
These are the changes I have made (pictured).
I arrived at the first window by clicking Outlook >> Preferences >> Accounts.
I arrived at the sencond by clicking Outlook >> Preferences >> Accounts >> More Options
The resulting error message is below.

I FINALLY figured it out (only an hour and a half)!!!  I have Mac OS X 10.6.8
When you have your MAIL open, click on "MAIL" in the upper left corner of the Menu Bar.
Click on "Preferences".
Click on "Accounts" tab across top of pop-up window.
Click on the Account that you want to update in the left column.
Make sure the sub-tab "Account Information" is highlighted (if not, click on it).
I don't know how to do a screen shot, but here's what I have...
                      Description: Moms email
                      Email Address:  [email protected]
                      Full Name:  My name
                      Incoming Mail Server: pop.verizon.net
                      User Name: accountname (what comes before your @verizon.net in your email address)
                      Password: (enter your password here)
                      Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): Click on the entry in this box and select "Edit SMTP server list"
                      Click on the old server name and type in the new server name "smtp.verizon.net"
                      On the bottom half of that screen click on the "Advanced" tab.
                      Click on the "Use custom port" and enter 465
                      Click on the box "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
                      Authentication: Select "Password" from the drop down box
                      User Name: Enter your user name
                      Password: Enter your password
                      Now click "OK"
                      Check the box that says "Use only this server"
Now click on the "Advanced" tab on the same pop-up window (sub-tab).
On the bottom half of the page, enter this information:
                       Port: 995     Then check the box "Use SSL"
                       Authentication: Password
Now you can close the pop-up window.  It will ask you if you want to Save the changes, select "Save".
Don't know for sure if restarting your system is required, but it sure can't hurt.  This FINALLY worked for me.  Hope it works for you.

    You must be using an update CD.  You need the software that has the full version first - install that, then you can use the update one if needed. I know, cuz I made the same mistake - lol

  • Keeping Gmail email addresss and using Outlook 2011 for Mac and Exchange

    Hi,
    we use gmail for email at present with Outlook on a Mac. Having found that contacts and calendars cannot be synched between Oulook for Mac and Gmail I want to use exchange as a means of getting this sync working between my iPhne, iPad and OSX calendar and
    contacts.
    We actually want to continue with our gmail addresses (because it's too painful to change to anything else). I understand that gmail can forward messages to Exchange and presumably to be read in Outlook for Mac. How do we use Outlook for Mac and Exchange
    to send emails such that they are sent using our gmail email address.
    I.e people are not aware of what is going on in the background - they sent to our gmail address and receive a reply from the gmail address
    Many thanks
    Mike

    Good luck with that.
    You're not going to like this answer, but you should let Exchange be your e-mail system.  Move off Gmail to Exchange on-premises or Online.

  • Attach to email not working with Outlook 2011

    I've created a pdf document for users to fill out and then click a SUBMIT button which attaches the document to an email and sends it back to me.  It works great with Windows users, however, it fails to create an email for Mac users with Outlook 2011.  It opens the program but doesn't create an email.  I'm using Acrobat Pro 9.5
    Can someone please help in fixing this matter as there are people that use Macs.
    Thanks
    Matt

    Yes the Acrobat PDFviewer Plug does nt work with anything but Safari on a Mac. In OS9 days it would work with any web Browser.
    But Adobe has decided That they will only support Webkit Browsers and refuses to support despite pleading with Adobe by people using Ecko based browsers. This leave more people unable to use the adobe PDFviewer plugin, than can. A fellow from Germany called Schubert has come up with a PDF Browser Plugin that can use any Browser Webkit or Gecko except Internet Explorer. The one caveat is that you can't fill out forms. And he is banned from putting that feature in, by Adobe.

  • Export Apple Mail Emails & Sub Folders to Outlook 2011 for Mac

    Hello,
    Could somebody please tell me how I go about exporting emails and the subfolders I have created from Apple Mail over to Microsoft Outlook 2011.
    Can you also please advise if I am able to add these emails into an existing Main Identity?
    Any help would be much appreciated

    INFORMATION on Emailchemy from another Forum
    I’ve found a way in which you can import Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 on Mac OS X Lion.
    The software I’m running is Mac OS X 10.7.2 on a 2011 MacBook Pro.
    You need to purchase an app called Emailchemy. It’s 29.99 for an individual license, and 49.99 for a family license. There are enterprise versions available as well.
    Once you run the app, you need to do the following:
    1. Export all mailboxes from Apple Mail to your desktop (or any other suitable location on your computer). You do this by selecting the mailbox, and then clicking on “Mailbox”, and then “Export Mailbox”. Save the destination, and the file is saved automatically.
    2. Then you open Emailchemy and do the following:
    - click on “toolbox” in the bottom left hand corner
    - click on the second box on the top left hand called “advanced email conversion”
    - click on “add file”
    - select the folder (s) you just exported from Apple Mail (e.g. Inbox.mbox)
    Now here comes the trick
    - select format “apple mail 1.0 in the format option at the bottom
    - then 3 sub-folders will appear “info-p.list”, “mbox” and “table of contents”
    Select “mbox”
    - click on “convert” and choose a save file name. Choose the format “MBOX file (standard mbox)”
    - click on save
    And you then have a folder created which Outlook 2011 recognizes and can import.
    I just imported all my Apple Mail into Outlook 2011 – it works really well too – the formatting, attachments, etc are all there!
    Hope this helps.

  • New Verizon email settings incompatible with MS Entourage

    Apparently there is a problem with Verizon's new email setting and MS Entourage. After making the changes the following error message appears.
    "Error
    Authentication failed because Entourage doesn't support any of the available authentication methods.
    Explanation
    Could not retrieve mail.
    Error -17897"

    I had the same issue. I just fixed it myself accidently. I went into the email account setting, where we changed the ports etc. I clicked on the mail security tab at the top and under "encryption" I checked the box for "encrypt outgoing messages and attachements by default" and my entourage email finally worked.

    I have have Verizon, Microsoft, Mcafee, and my isp optimum on he phone for a total of 9 hours.  all the setting are as dictated by verizon.  Any other email account sets up with no issue.

    For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "[email protected]" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.
    The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
    Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes
    Username: fakeacct
    Password: fakepassword
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
    Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
    Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
    Port: 465
    If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No or Normal
    These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
    If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.
    All of that said, your IP may be blocked by Verizon. They had some issues with attacks from overseas and way overcompensated, causing issues for people even on different providers here in the US. Try getting a new public IP address (Optimum should be able to help you with this). I would love to say they're working hard to correct this nonsense, but they're entirely silent on the point since their initial announcement.
    Best of luck to you.

    Hi, 
    Thanks for all of the responses - I have now done these suggested settings which has downloaded all of the separate inbox folders but I am still having a couple of errors: 
    1: If I delete an email on outlook 2011 it doesn't actually delete it from my email account
    Are you 100% sure the account is now IMAP?
    2: I am unable to send any emails I get an SMTP error? 
    Have you ticked the 'My outgoing server requires authentication' box in the outgoing server section.
    3: I still have to click send/receive to receive any emails 
    This is for Outlook 2010 on Windows, but there will be something similar on your version. Go to File>Options>Advanced>Send/Receive where you should be able to set the parameters required.
    Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

  • MS Outlook 2011 for Mac will no longer automatically send and receive email since upgrade to OS 10.9 Mavericks.  Does anyone know of a solution?

    I have been having trouble with Outlook 2011 for Mac since updating to OS 10.9 Marvericks.  I have tried updating the database and identity.  I can get email if a go to each account and try to download it.  But email will not come automatically and can I send and receive all accounts.  Does anyone have a solution?  I do not want to lose my email, contacts and information.

    I am also finding that searching in Mail for emails in this account is leading to false negative results. It's astonishing that I can search for an email I know is in the Inbox list yet not find it unless I scroll down to it manually and clicking it. Then it will show up in the results if I search again. I just did "rebuild" a day ago (have to do that every few days or so to get Outlook Exchange emails restored again anyway), so I doubt that this would fix the issue, but even if it did it's ridiculous... do I really have to abandon Mail and move to Microsoft Outlook on my mac to read my emails? Mail is currently FAILING to work for those of us who have to deal with Microsoft servers... which must be a huge # of customers, Apple.
