Outlook Express 12-28-11 Email Changes to Settings don't work

Verizon Email of 12/28/11 told us to make changes to Portal settings of Outlook Express
The intro tells us how much they want to "enhance our online experience". Then at the bottom, they tell us to not respond to the email. Why don't they have a return email when people start having problems? Probably because they would be swamped with complaints.
Worked on this o ver two hours yesterday on my 4 email accounts on 3 computers
As usual, the Verizon instructions are wrong at http://verizon.com/emailsettings
They must never test this stuff before they publish it
Per the above instructions, I changed the Outgoing Portal to 465 and checked the SSL box for that portal
Set the Incoming Portal to 995 from the existing 110 and checked that SSL box
Outlook express would time out waiting for Verizon to connect for outgoing messages
I had changed the Outgoing Portal to 587 per Verizon instructions in 2009 (I document everything and keep it!)
So, I reset that with the Outgoing SSL still checked: still timed out
Unchecked the Outgoing SSL and everything worked
The settings that are working now:
Outgoing Portal 587 with SSL unchecked
Incomong Portal 995 with SSL checked

I agree - so much of what Verizon does, doesn't work. Their instructions for Windows Vista, Windows Mail say:
Setting up and updating your Verizon Online email with Vista™ Windows Mail Setting up
Open Mail.
From the Tools menu, select Accounts.
Select Add.
Select Email Acount and then click Next.
Enter the name to be displayed on outgoing messages and then click Next.
Enter your email address, and then click Next.
Type incoming.verizon.net in the Incoming mail (POP3)field.
The Incoming Server (POP3) should be set to 995.
For Incoming mail (POP3), check the box that says “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)”.
Type outgoing.verizon.net in the Outgoing mail (SMTP) field.
The Outgoing Server (SMTP) should be set to 465.
For Outgoing mail (SMTP), check the box that says “This server requires a secure connection (SSL)”.
Click Next.
In the User namefield, type your Verizon Online user name.
In the Passwordfield, type your password.
Check the Remember passwordcheckbox. (If you do not check this box, you'll be prompted for the password when you access your mailbox.)
Click Next and then click Finish to close the window.
However, when you get to the "setup email servers" page at step 7 there is no check box forselecting an SSL connection for either Incoming Mail or Outgoing mail. Aside from the POP3 dropdown and the 2 address boxes, there is only a 4th box where you can check "Outgoing server requires authentication". Whazzup? What Windows Mail setup are they looking at?
Given the problems people are having, I guess the best thing is to ignore the Verizon email warning and when it fails, just switch to Comcast.

Microsoft Outlook Express can not send email

hi,
i have setup a mail server w/ mac osx snow leopard mac mini, and i have setup the smtp and open relay to spesific IP address.
Now everything looks fine for all the users, except for the users that using outlook express, they can retrieve emails, but can not send.
the error message is like this :
The message could not be sent because one of the recipients was rejected by the server. Server Error: 504, Error Number: 0x800CCC79

probably your smtpdhelorestrictions.
In /etc/postfix/main.cf, look for this
smtpdhelorestrictions = _________
If you see this:
smtpdhelorestrictions = rejectinvalid_helohostname rejectnon_fqdn_helohostname
Change it to this:
smtpdhelorestrictions = permit_mynetworks permitsaslauthenticated rejectinvalid_helohostname rejectnon_fqdn_helohostname
Then stop/start mail service.
If that doesn't solve it, please post the unedited output of 'postconf -n' run from Terminal.

Recently installed parallels on my iMac and created email account in outlook express where all my emails now are but have gone from my mail on the mac

I have recently installed parallels on my Macbook and created my existing email account within outlook express which has all emails but by doing this it has removed all emails from Mail on the Macbook. I don't won't to delete from outlook then find I have lost them forever. I'm just trying to find out how I can get them back to their original place in Mail.
Any help would be great.

Hello,
If has more than one account, the Inbox icon, for example, should have a black triangle if the accounts have been correctly added via the assistant. If that triangle is pointing sideways, then he clicks on it, it should turn downward, and reveal the Inbox for each account. If he does not have but the one account, then the Inbox should be that of the AOL account. Same with Sent Drafts, etc.
If the triangle beside Inbox reveals other folders such as Sent Items, click to open that, and then click Mailbox in the menubar, place cursor on Use this Mailbox for and choose Sent.
AOL is IMAP access, so can be tricky. The folders under AOL lower in the Sidebar are for other archiving. AOL only allows messages to stay in the Inbox and Sent folder for 27 days, and then you must Move the messages to the Saved folder to keep longer on the server. Of course, various On My Mac mailboxes can be created to save messages, and those will be on the hard drive of his Mac.
In Mail 2.x and OS 10.4.10 there is no longer a separator for On My Mac in the Sidebar, but is with 10.3.x and Mail 1.3.x
This may or may not be such a good idea to have switched him without being in front of his computer to provide some instruction

Welcome to the Apple community.
This feature has been introduced to make stolen phones useless to those that have stolen them.
However it can also arise when the user has changed their Apple ID details with Apple and not made the same changes to their iCloud account/Find My Phone on their device before upgrading to iOS 7, or if you restore from a previous back up made before you changed your details.
The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone".
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, verify it once again, delete the iCloud account from your device and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.
This article provides more information about Activation Lock.

Outlook Express is adding MY email address to Blocked Senders List

I've been getting a TON of similar spam recently (15-20)/day so I've been adding all their quite similar email addresses to the Blocked Senders List in an attempt to block
some spam. Yesterday I realized that some bcc emails I had sent to myself weren't in my Inbox. I found them in Deleted Items and I then found my email address on my own BSL. I un-blocked it and thought that would end it. Within hours, emails from myself
were again being sent to Deleted Items. I quickly scanned the BSL and didn't find my address there......... What is going on?

Hi,
Are you using Outlook Express or Microsoft Outlook?
Please note, Outlook Express is a component of IE 6.0 and fewer people use it anymore in the new century:
Microsoft Outlook Express Support
http://support.microsoft.com/ph/2578
If you are using Microsoft Outlook, please let me know your Outlook version and what the account type is. Exchange, IMAP, or POP3?
We may logon the Web mail to send the test email, to determine if it's Outlook Client specific.
If emails sent to yourself on web don't get moved to Deleted Items while emails sent on Outlook Client do, please disable the firewall and virus scanner integration with Outlook, then check the result:
http://www.msoutlook.info/question/20
Please also check if you have any rules that moves your emails to Deleted Items, delete it if there is:

Outlook express keeps resending same emails

once we have opened an email in outlook and read it, it later comes back in as a new email so far had same ones in 8 times since friday!
Help please

Then don't use Outlook Express, a Microsoft product!
What Mac are you using, with what version of OS X?

I need to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs and I either don't have it but when I try to send an e-mail on Outlook Express, it won't go through and gives me an error report.....I really need to be able to use Outlook Express to apply for jobs. Help!

When I try to apply for job and when I try to e-mail my resume' and Outlook Express comes up to reply to on, I put in my information, etc but when I hit send, it doesn't go through and says? POP and then error report and doesn't go through.

I can't provide a solution with or without the error message, but without an error message, you are making everyone guess at what you see. I have no idea what you see, and I think someone who might be able to help you solve your problem would need to know what that message says. Is "Outlook Express" (Windows Live Mail) your default email processor, if not what is?

Email settings don't work, can't receive or send email

No matter how many times I change my Outlook email settings for Verizon, the new settings have never worked. I used to be able to at least receive email, but for many months I have not been able to send email. I have called support and emailed Verizon and no one has been able to help.
So now as of 11/11/2013, I can't receive or send email and I have tried to change my settings to the new settings, and nothing works. I have gone to verizon.com/emailsettings for step by step instructions, all to no avail.
I also have comcast.net and my own website email in Outlook and now NONE of my email accounts work as of 11/11/2013. It appears Verizon is the key to my problems.
Any thoughts?

Verizon should have no impact on your ability to use Outlook with your comcast.com account. Verizon is only providing the pipe to Comcast, and I can get there there just fine. Something must have been changed in your Outlook setup for your Comcast account (which is separate from the settings for your Verizon account) or Comcast must have changed something that broke your Comcast settings.
If you provide your exact Outlook settings (inbound and outbound including servier names, ports, and SSL settings), perhaps someone can help.
Also, can you successfully use the Verizon webmail to access your mailbox?

My ATT email settings don't work, any suggestions?

Although I have connected my AT&T email to my iPhone and iPad in the past, they have stopped working. I now am unable to get a connection to AT&T email using their settings. I have even used the new servicers, outbound.att.net and inbound.att.net to no avail. I have tried it with and without SSL. the message just keeps saying that my username or password is incorrect, and I know that this is not true. AT&T refuses to help with email connections to any mobile device. Does anyone have any suggestions?

All, I have this same problem and has just solved it on my iPhone.
I read up on the problem at att.com/esupport and arrived at the link below:
https://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB413495#fbid=ahhj00ALH45
"If your email address is linked to your AT&T Access ID, changing your AT&T Access ID password automatically changes your email password to the same password.
If you use your email address as your AT&T Access ID, changing your email password automatically changes your AT&T Access ID password to the same password."
I have a ATT Uverse (for my internet access) acct and could not log on so I requested for password reset. They sent me temp password and I had to change my password to my Uverse acct. I use my att.net email as the log on for my Uverse acct. Per att instructions above, my Uverse acct is linked to my att.net email, so now my att.net email pw has been changed to the pw for my Uverse acct.
Accordingly, go into your iPhone Settings, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, choose your Att.net mail acct and change your password. In my case I changed it to the new pw I had set up for my Uverse acct and it works.
Before doing this, I had also added new servers as shown below. The way I see it because your iPhone will try in succession to log on to each server from top to bottom of the list, it's best to add all the mail servers.
smtp.mail.yahoo.com
smtp.mail.att.net
outbound.att.net
Please note that I did not have to add "imap.mail.att.net" and my Att.net mail on my iPhone still works.
Hope this helps.

Your new email settings don't work...

I recently received an email from Verizon directing me to a website to update my email server settings. I'm 99% sure this was a genuine Verizon email so I tried their suggestions to change my POP3 and Outgoing server names and port numbers. The new settings DO NOT work - either outgoing or incoming. So I set them back the way they were.
What's up with that??

If you were trying to activate SSL on the 1/5-1/6 then the problem was with some Verizon servers.
It should work again now.
The reason for using SSL is that your mail is then sent/received encrypted. Without SSL its all in the clear between you and Verizon's servers. Its particularly important to use SSL if you are not always using your home connections, e.g. from Laptops and other portable devices.
Only difference in the settings should be the port numbers and the SSL setting.
Various people have mentioned running into problems and solved them by.
Reviewing and correcting mistakes in their settings
Closing and reopening their Mail program.
For certain devices, restarting their devices
Checking their firewall settings
Increasing the timeout value in their mail program
One known problem introduced by using SSL is that many SPAM detectors no longer work. At least one that works requires that you leave the mail settings in your mail program alone, but then configure the change instead into the anti-SPAM program. I.e, it with communicate with SSL but the mail program within your machine receives in the clear.

Changing printer settings no longer works - requesting lpadmin password!

When pressing the _"Pause Printer"_ button, or changing printer settings, I get a dialog box come up saying:
*Type the name and password of a user in the "lpadmin" group to allow Photosmart C4500 series (HPF615EE).app to make changes.*
I have typed my username and password in several times, to no avail. I am the only administrator on this computer. Apparently I am not a member of this "lpadmin" group, and have never seen it before in my life!
What do I do?
(? Possibly since upgrading to 10.5.7 ?)

I am having the same problem. When I use the fix posted by John Blanchard, I "A Directory Service error occured"
My output of the "dscl" command is a little different
AppleMetaNodeLocation: /Local/Default

So what changes do I need to make to John's terminal commands to fix my problem.
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?
If a forum member gives an answer you like, please give them the Kudos they deserve. If a member gives you the answer to your question, mark the answer as Accepted Solution so others can see the solution to the problem. Thanks !!!

Changing keyboard layout don't work

Hello,
I've messed around with my father's iBook for a month to see how it could be used.
He received it with a French keyboard, I'm used to using a Swiss-French keyboard or a Scandinavian keyboard. At one moment I could change between these three keyboards. But now even if I change (up right) it always stays as a French AZERTY keyboard. This is really inconvenient as since we've changed the physical keyboard to a Swiss-French one.
The only "weird" software I've installed are SheepShaver and iEmulator.
Any ideas or must I do a reinstall?
On Windows I'm used to adapting the keyboard definitions with some specialised software, is this possible in OSX?
Thanx for your help,
Eric

even if I change (up right) it always stays as a French AZERTY keyboard. This is really inconvenient as since we've changed the physical keyboard to a Swiss-French one.
Have you tried going to system prefs/international/input menu and unchecking all the boxes and checking just the one you want and rebooting to see if it will stick?
Do you have the problem with all apps? I think some versions of MS Word can have this issue.
On Windows I'm used to adapting the keyboard definitions with some specialised software, is this possible in OSX?
The app for this is Ukelele:

Email links in Safari don't work

When I click on an email link in a website (using Safari 6.1.5), my computer links to TopSites instead of my Mail Account. How do I get the links to go to Mail?

It could be mlaware ...
Download and run the adware removal tool here > The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide
Easy, safe, and only takes a minute or two.
Then quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If no malware is found, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Email Link... and Email Image menu items don't work.

Suddenly, about a week ago, the Email Link... and Email Image menu items stopped working. Problem seems to be on only one login on one of my three machines. The rest seem to be OK.
Using FF 19.0 and TB 17.0.3 under Windows 7.
Any ideas?

Thank you. Although I had already checked the MailTo: application and found it set to "Use Thunderbird (default)", clearing that association and setting it to "Always Ask" jarred things loose. When I set it back to T-Bird, it worked again.
Again, thanks for the nudge.
