Outgoing Mail Problem with Verizon DSL

I live in Hampton Roads, VA area and have Verizon's DSL with wireless gateway equipment on Dell Computer. My iMAC connects wirelessly to the gateway and connects to Internet fine and receives email fine on the Verizon POP account. I have verified settings and read most of the topics on the post and am very frustrated. There does not seem to be a definative answer on whether outgoing mail should work with Verizon DSL. Any new insights on this topic or something to look at? Dell is set to use Port 25 and sends fine so I know this is the port to use.

What does “is not working” mean? What’s the problem exactly?
If you cannot send with the outgoing (SMTP) server provided by your ISP, the problem could be that you’re telling Mail to authenticate, but the outgoing server doesn’t actually require authentication because it can determine who you are by other means.

New computer (windows 7) connection problem with Verizon DSL

I just bought a new computer to replace a dead one. I took the old one away and plugged the new one into the Verizon cable. I have Verizon DSL, no wireless, no network at home, just a computer and a Westell modem.
On the new computer, I have a successful internet connection in that I can reach Google. I can conduct a Google search, but when I click on a search result I cannot reach that site. I CAN successfully send and receive Gmail. I CANNOT connect to Verizon's website, Amazon, Washington Post, Ebay, or most other sites. What happens when I try is a small box comes up in the browser window saying "Connecting to [name of site]" and the in-progress thing goes around and around. This will go on for as long as I let it (more than 1/2 hour), with no timeout or failure message -- just an empty browser window. Results are the same in Explorer and Firefox.
I hooked a borrowed computer into my Verizon line and the internet connection works fine to any site I try (I'm on it now). Verizon techs have also done a line test and it's fine.
I have taken the new computer (running Windows 7) back to the store 3 times. They have hooked it into an Earthlink DSL line there and have shown me they have no difficulty whatsoever going to any of the sites that are not working for me at home. They say the problem MUST be something to do with my Verizon connection.
I've called Verizon tech support 3 times now. They say it's not them, and there's nothing they can do -- but their Remote Assistant software isn't able to connect IN to my machine, just as I can't connect OUT to the Verizon site. I have asked for a more up-to-date modem and was refused.
I was tempted to just upgrade to FIOS but Verizon is being so unhelpful I am ready to bail on Verizon entirely. Before I do, can anyone suggest what might be going on here?

I bought an HP computer at Staples and had the same problem. HP and Verizon could find no problems. Verizon said the would send me a new modem to see if that fixed the problem. The problem was corrected after Verizon sent me a new modem for free.

Help setting up wireless network with Verizon DSL

I bought a MacBook Pro and an Air Port Extreme yesterday. I have an iMAC G5 from October 2004. I have Verizon DSL service and a Westell Series 6100 modem.
Bottom line --> I can't get the wireless connection to work.
I have successfully used a wired dsl connection with my iMAC G5. But, I tried to just disconnect the ethernet cable from my computer and put it into the Airport Extreme and that didn't work. I used the utility to set up the base station and the network, but I'm not sure if I did it properly.
I know a PPPoE is involved but I'm not sure of how to configure the system properly. I'm also not sure if the problem is with the configuration of the AirPort extreme or with my Verizon modem.
All I know is that I want to see a green light on that thing and not a flashing orange one.
Does any one have some instructions for setting up your AirPort Extreme using Verizon DSL? Has anyone else had similar problems? Thanks in advance!
MacBook Pro & iMAC G% Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Just finished solving this problem. I am not a strong tech guy, but I know that since it works for others it is just a question of poking and pushing. Anyway it was nine hours in the making...
My snow airport working with an airport express had been bullet proof with verizon dsl for a couple of years. I wanted to upgrade since I am now Intel mac and hit the blinking amber light.
I am only going to be able to give the big picture... The AEBS found and worked with all my computers from the beginning, so the problem became that the default IP Address and Subnet Mask were wrong and never automatically adjusted by the assistants.
Take your working plug-in ethernet connections or the working snow connections from the Airport Utility Internet Connect page. I used the manual configure process to access the info screens.
I copied all the numbers down, but I believe you only have to insert the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Router Address and DNS servers. I put "dsl.verizon.net" in the domain search box.
Go up to the IPv4 pull down menu and select manual and put in the numbers you copied. Then click Update. When the software returns control, the AEBS will still be orange.
Toggle the IPv4 to "using DHCP" Click Update.
This should bring the green light.
I think I then updated the Network Preference Pane, probably had to manually put in my wireless password again. Browser and mail program worked.
I think that was all. I may have had to repeat the toggle to make it stick, but I am operational for the last several hours, including the airport express, a G4 laptop and a Sony PC.
Hope this helps.

Serious Problem with Verizon

I have a huge problem with Verizon. I took my adult son to a local Verizon store and bought him a phone. When the phone was activated and an account set up, the clerk used MY personal information with my SON'S address for the service! My son defaulted on the payments and because the bills were being mailed to my son's home, I was unaware of the unpaid bills... Until I received a notice from a collection agency at MY home address. I immediately paid the outrageous bill and have been attempting ever since to delete the damage done to my credit! This has been a total nightmare as I am trying to apply for a mortgage.
I have called and called Verizon but continue to be shuffled around. I just need someone to hear me out and help me clear up this mess!! It can easily be proven that I've never lived at the address the bills/emails were being sent. I know the negative reporting to my credit can be deleted. It is the goodwill thing to do. I have faith that Verizon has employees that can help resolve my situation! PLEASE HELP.
Michael K.

Who was responsible for the bill? Who's account was it on? Was the son made an account manager? Why did the son not inform you of the issues as it was his responsibility? If you allowed him on your account, then he is your responsibility. Just like co-signing for a car for someone...they come after you as well.

Keeping my current e-mail address with Verizon.

Greetings,
My e-mail account was moved to a Frontier server. I do not have an account with Frontier. I want to keep my current e-mail account with Verizon. It is a verizon.net e-mail that I had with my former DSL account. I discontinued my DSL and went to wireless 3G with Verizon. I was told that if I purchased a domain I could keep that e-mail address. I did that and thought that would take care of things. It has not and I don't know who to get this taken care of with. Can anyone help me?

I'm sorry for the trouble that you are experiencing. I have sent you a PM to our secure form. Please fill it out and PM us back to let us know. We will then be able to look into your issue.

I cannot maintain a consistent connection with Verizon DSL

I have had my DSL since May (when i purchased my mac) and cannot keep a consistent connection to the internet. Surfing the internet is not the problem (though I do get "your computer is not connected to the internet" messages frequently) The real problem is with downloads. Mainly, I can't download. I have had 3 apple updates that i have needed to download for the past month and i cannot keep the connection to my DSL to get them. I have phoned Verizon who says that i am connected, my modem is fine and so is my phone line. I have changed the ethernet cable. Apple support is always closed when i am home and actually in front of my computer. Has anyone else experienced this with Verizon DSL and conquered it?
Thanks.

I would suspect the modem. Has Verizon been out to check it? They should also check your phone line. You shouldn't be paying for service you don't get. I think you need to complain loudly, get a case number and work it out with them that you are not paying for service you're not getting.

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update:

Problems with Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Tour BlackBerry OS 4.7.1.61 update - I was anxious to download the update to see if it addressed the sticky trackball problems and the low volume issue when using a blue tooth device. However, in the process of updating my BB Tour yesterday, the install stopped on the 8th out 12 updates. After a couple of 'retrys', the BB error message on the desktop came up which instructed me to: i) disconnect the device, ii) restart the computer. iii) restart the loading process and, iV) restore my data by loading the loader back-up file using Restore. Unfortunately my Tour was left without any software and the Desktop manager couldn't recognize it. The error message on the Tour was 503. Called Verizon Wireless tech and bottom line, the only fix is a new Tour, which they're sending me. Anyone else having issues with the update? Also, does it address the trackball and blue tooth issues?

I had issues with the trackball and had to have my Tour replaced. I was told this model does not have a removable trackball so the entire phone has to be replaced. My current one is working OK but does stick a bit. Seems to get worse over time. My wife's tour is newer and so far she is not experiencing the problem. Have not experienced a problem with the Blue Tooth volume.
I have another issue with this upgrade that I am wondering if anyone else has seen. My wife has the Tour as well. She was prompted to do the upgrade and went through it. It appeared to work except it blew out her Contact Alerts. When we put them back in we can no longer get the sound to play when she receives an SMS message in her holster. Vibration works but doesn't do any good when it is in her purse. Phones calls, calendar alerts, alarms all work in holster. As soon as we delete the contact alert the default SMS alert will play in the holster. If she takes her phone out of the holster the Contact alert will play. My phone is still running 4.7.1.40 and this function works fine. I am thinking about trying to put her's back to my version if possible but not sure the best way to go about this

Element v.11 & 9 Photo mail problem with MS Outlook

Looking for a fix: Elements v.11 has a photo mail problem with Microsoft Outlook mail, even when Outlook is designated the defaul e-mail program in Windows internet.
Is there a fix?? Thanks.

I just posted the same problem and so I'll join this thread, hoping to see an answer to your question. By the way, this PSE11 feature worked fine for me with Outlook 2007, but stopped working when I upgraded to Outlook 365.

The problem with Verizon

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the problem with Verizon is their IT strategy and their lack of communications. None of their systems can talk to each other.
That's why when a FIOS tech comes to your house and doesn't know what your order was supposed to be, its because the system that generated the order originally, isnt the same system that the tech looks at before he/she goes to your house.
On top of that, the customer was lied to from the very beginning by a door-to-door outsourced salesperson that doesn't know what specials the company is having and just makes anything up to make the sale. They're paid their commission, then they end up getting fired or quit in less than a month or so. The poor Verizon FIOS tech that visits the customer ends up bearing the brunt of the customer's frustration because the customer was told that they wouldn't have to pay for any of the extras that they want and that they can cancel at any time when the FiOs tech knows that they can't make that deal.
To add to this problem, whenever there is a problem with your order, the tech has to call into a phone number where they are put on hold in the same manner that customers are and made to wait (sometimes hours) for the customer service or dispatch rep to figure out that the order was put in the order. Then they try to figure out why the tech was at the customer's house for so long...hmmm, I wonder.
Then, when the customer finally gets the service and tries to pay their bill, the bill has numerous excessive charges for which the they weren't aware. They call the customer service line and get put on hold 5 times and have to re-explain their situation every time a new person picks up. The customer service rep agrees to remove the charge from the bill. Two months later when the charge is still appearing on their bill, they have to continue to call again until they get so frustrated that they cancel their service....and the cycle repeats when a new special is offered and the customer agrees to give them a second chance. I wonder how much this is costing the company???
Why do I know all this? My boyfriend is a Verizon FiOs. tech. And I am a Verizon customer. I've been trying to pay my bill online for 2 months and the website keeps telling me that "They are experiencing a problem and I should try back later." Should a multi-BILLION dollar company take more than a few minutes or hours to correct this problem? TWO MONTHS!!!???
Seriously, these Verizon IT executives should be embarassed. They are to blame for not only the technical issues that the technicians experience every day on the job, but also the customer service problems because their ERP system doesn't talk to their CRM or Order management system. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that they need a web-based, real-time solution to fix this problem.

FlyerQ has it exactly right. What is sad is that it's not like it is huge cost to upgrade port capacity. With the cost per meg that they charge for FiOS there is plenty of margin there for them to be good internet citizens. The reason I'm sure they are against doing so is that would provide less opportunity to extort money from the content providers.
Unfortunately it is not surprising that Verizon is acting in this way considering they are the company that sued to get the legal authority to damage the internet (killing net neutrality).
The one point I'd disagree with FlyerQ on is being infuriated with Netflix. Verizon is advertising upgrading to 50 or 75Mbps connections. If their customers all want to stream Netflix at once that should not be a problem. We're talking about ~3Mbps for an outstanding experience or utilization of about 1/17th of what they advertise. Making sure they have enough port capacity to handle that is part of what we are paying for. But they choose to harm their customers in the hope that they can also collect from providers.

Outgoing Server Problem with Apple Mail

I have multiple accounts set up in Apple Mail (two IMAP's a gmail and an exchange). The Exchange account receives and sends fine, but the problem is that the Exchange account will not stay listed as the outgoing mail server, despite have it listed as the outgoing server in preferences for that account and is checked as "use only this server." When I try to complse a new message when that account is selected, it defaults to one of the other accounts. I can change in the message to the exchange account and it sends fine. But having to change everytime I send a message is REALLY annoying. Someone please tell me what I'm missing.

Hi
I have a similar problem here i have work accounts which do not need the SSL ticked but when I uncheck the box and in a few seconds the tick is back up again sometimes I have to click about 10 times or so for it to stay off. I tried to do your sollution it did not work on your suggested port but seemed to work on the 25 port . Also I found i only have the problem when I am at work were we are on a PC network and firewall. It seemed to work fine on a normal home line. Also it only happens on Mountain Lion I have a older macbook with snowleopard and there i have not problems sending messages
as right it was said Apple needs to look into that ASAP as it is very frustrating

.Mac Mail incompatible with Firefox? Also, outgoing mail problems in Mail.

I run Firefox on my Apple as well as on the PC I have to use for work. When I visit my dotmac account and go to my mail, in Firefox on either of these computers, I can read e-mail but cannot respond or compose a new message. When I try to do either of those things, I just get a big empty, blank box that won't let me type in it.
I can compose and reply just fine on Safari.
I've been searching the web for discussion on this, but haven't seen any so I'm starting to wonder if it's something I'm doing wrong. My settings haven't changed, the old .mac mail worked just fine.
Any thoughts?
My second problem, which I believe is unrelated as it only started happening recently is my .mac account within the Mail app will not send mail. I recently had my system crash and had to erase the hard drive and re-install the OS. I saved my data with the Firewire disk mode and my iMac. But ever since, my .mac e-mail refuses to send mail. The User name and password are correct, the outgoing mail server is just like it always was. It tries to send the message then tells me the message can't be sent with the server smtp.mac.com

Try this-
Find Firefox preferences, and be sure that popups are not being blocked.
Not sure about that, but it sounds like popup problems.
In Apple Mail, try entering the smtp server for your ISP (comcast? roadRunner?) some ISP's force you to use their mail servers. (don' tchange anything about POP, just change smtp.mac....to smtp.[ISP's_servers]
Your password may need to be adjusted.
I know you say "like it always was", but something might have changed during your hard drive erasure.

Iphone 4 smtp outgoing mail problems

Hi,
I am trying to set up the outgoing mail with the iphone, however it fails everytime.
My mail server doesnt accespt smtp requests from external Ips, so in the past on my Treo phone
I had a vzwmail.net account and used that to send my mail out.
On my blackberry i had no problems, however on the iphone i cannot send mail.
My collegue who has att iphone has to use a att smtp server for his outgoing which works fine.
I tried the smtp.vzwmail.net with my [email protected] but this no longer seems to be working.
I was told to try hostname: outgoing.verizon.net with port 587
however then it asks me for a usename /password.
I have tried my cell number as username, also my Myverizon username and password , all which fail.
How can i resolve this and be able to send mail.
Thanks
Brian

Outgoing email problem with Gmail via ATT

I'm posting this on behalf of my mom, who's at her wit's end with her Mail program.
She has AT&T DSL service, and uses Gmail for her mail. Also, she's running 10.5 on a Macbook. We've tried fiddling with things every since she got the system in the spring, but she's consistently had trouble connecting to the Gmail server, especially regarding outgoing email. Most of the time it takes forever for a message to send, if it ever sends at all.
I use Comcast and Gmail and have never had any problems, which leads me to believe that this may have something to do with ATT(/Bellsouth). Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

I have same problem with Apple Mail at ATT as ISP. I used the program ATTYahoo!EmailSetup from their website. Now I can rarely send any email, from my work email or from my MobileMe email. I seems like that program messed up the entire Apple Mail client so it can no longer send mail. Emails I try to send just sit the in Outbox. Does anyone have a solution?

OUTGOING MAIL PROBLEMS ON IPAD AND ACBOOK PRO

Whenever I send emails through my business mails to yahoo, gmail and other mail clients from my iPad and macbook pro, it is rejected by the server. My business mail is hosted by siteground.com.
When sending the same mails on non apple devices, it goes through alright. I have tried different options of the outgoing mail servers and ports as suggested by my host but still have issues. There are no issues with incoming mails on the apple devices. How do i resolve these problems?

From the Mail menu bar, select

Click the Show Detail button. A drawer opens. Send a message and post the text that appears. Anonymize any personal information before posting.
