Problem sending email using Verizon email account in iPhone

I am having the exact problem as in this archived thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1266840
I get an error:
"Cannot Send Mail, the sender address was invalid."
I am using an original iPhone with the latest software. I believe the problem started with the 2.0 or 2.1 update.
Even before coming here, I had noticed that the authentication under advanced was set to "MD5 Challange-response" rather than "password".
No matter how many times I change to "password" it doesn't stick, and of course the mail does not send.
How can I get the correct setting to stick, or am I doing something else wrong?

Thanks for the response. I see based on your response that I had not been changing the outgoing method of authentication.
I found the outgoing mail authentication where you said it would be.
I have the same problem though, I can change it from "MD5 Challange-response" to Password, but the change does not "stick".
As soon as I leave the "page" and go back to it, the authentication has changed back to "MD5 Challange-response".
I checked my friends iPhone 3g (I have an original with the latest software) who also has verizon, and his phone is set to password.
On his smtp server page, authentication shows as "password" without even clicking on "authentication". My smtp page shows nothing next to authentication, I need to click on that to go to the next page to then see it has switched back to "MD5 Challange-response".
Another oddity is his phone lists server port as 25, mine lists as 587. I tried changing mine to 25, but nothing changed, my authentication would not "stick" at password, and outgoing mail still did not send.
Any help appreciated as sending e-mail from the phone is very important to me.

"Unable to send mail" using Verizon email account

No matter what I try, my Incredible will not send an email using my Verizon email account. I receive emails but cannot send. I've verified the account settings numerous times and the verifications always work. But I still get the "Unable to send mail" message. Initially I thought it was the port but I've tried both 25 and 587. Neither work. I know I've sent messages before but it's been a while. Anyone have any ideas?

I tried SSL with 25 and 587 (Verizon recommendation). Still no go.
BTW, there isn't any way to save the Mail size limit and Download options is there. Every time I go thru this I have to go back and set these up again.
Thanks again for your help.

Problems sending mail using my .me account

Hi, I just started using Lion and my mail (mobileme account) freezes when sending mail. Do I need to change the settings in the mail preferences pane?

You don't need any of that socket factory stuff. See the JavaMail FAQ for a simpler way
to do it. See also the smtpsend.java demo program for a simple way to switch between
using SSL and not using SSL.

How do I set or get firefox to print more than one all pages the print using verizon emails is there a setting to change I have been told by verizon techs it is not my printer

when opening an email using verizon emails I can only print one page. I have checked an I do not have a printer or computer problem because the printer prints more than one page with others such as gmail. We feel there is a print setting in firefox that needs to be changed. How do I change this??

That is usually caused by a few different Bugs in Firefox, which seem to be fixed in the Firefox 4.0 betas.

I don't know of there is anyone than can fix this age old Apple problem. Does anyone know how to retrieve apps under an old Apple ID when the email used for that account no longer exists & I can't remember the password? After speaking with Apple Acct. Security, I got the security Q right but my birthday was wrong! They wanted the serial number from my phone that was 3 iPhones ago! Seriously??!!
Any updated way to work around this? No Apple people can correct it.
Thanks,
Joe

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

My new iphone 5 email is synched with my home office computer Outlook email using a POP account, but deleting an email on my computer does not delete it on my phone and vice versa. Is there any way to get a true synch?.

POP does not support synchronization between the server and clients. You will need to use IMAP or Exchange Active Sync if your email provider supports it.

How to reject emails using address email's sender

Hi,
I'm wondering if it's possible to reject emails using address email's sender.
Thanks,

sorry, I thought it was one of the built in options. you can do it with an apple script rule then.
paste the following into a blank Applescript Editor window . Applescript Editor is located in /Applications/Utilities
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #ADD8E6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages selectedMsgs
repeat with msg in selectedMsgs
tell application "Mail"
bounce msg
end tell
end repeat
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from</pre>
save the script somewhere and set your Mail rule to run this script on messages from that sender.

"I managed to solve the problem. Under smtp settings (mail preferences/accounts/edit smtp) I set the outgoing port to 25 (as recommended by Talktalk), no authentication (set to none) and unchecked SSL. I found that until I set the port to 25 and authentication to none I was unable to uncheck SSL. One I had done this I was able to send from my main email and other email adddresses set up under my account."
Superb advice R&W! My email sending block using TalkTalk started 2 months ago using Snow Leopard, continued when I upgraded to 10.8.2, and has been persistent on my wife's new iPad (IOS 6.1). Implementing your wise words has fixed all that, and now enables me to call her on FaceTime — previously only she could call me. Thank you so much; this will save hours of further fruitless searching and phoning.
Please remember that your email is now insecure, if you wish to have a secure connection SSL must be on and port 25 should be avoided.

I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email. I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted. I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing. How do I solve

I change my email my Verizon email to Comcast email. I am continually asked to give my password for my old email which I deleted. I have deleted this Verizon email from every area on my iPad that I'm aware of, And yet he still appearing. How do I solve this.

What you are describing sounds like you created a new apple id with your new comcast email address. There may be apps on your ipad that are associated with another id that was using your verizon email address. If thats what you're saying then those apps need to be updating by using the apple id that was used when they were downloaded.
If you're talking about something else then maybe a lttle clarification is necessary.
Go to settings/itunes and app stores. make sure the correct apple is shown.
Go to settings/mail, contacts and calendars. Makes sure all of the accounts are current.
Go to settings/icloud, facetime and messages, verify the same.

It's the password for your outgoing mail in your Mail account. You need to set it up in your Preferences.

HT1277 I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem

hello. I can not configure my major mail account at Mac Mфail - other accounts such as Hotmail and Gmail are working great. Also, I am using that major account at iPhone and iPad with no problem. I had contacted mail provider - we had followed step by step all the settings,, they are correct, and I was suggested to use another mail program. Why, for God's sake I should use different programs for different mail accounts? Anyone, had the same problem?

it says - IMAP - Trying to log into this IMAP account is failed - Verify that username and password are correct
same for SMTP

My talk talk email account was set up by a helpful apple employee to only send mail using an iname account (it worked perfectly well before this). How do I undo this?

my talktalk email account was set up by a helpful apple employee at one of their shops to only send mail via an iname account.
It had worked perfectly well before.
I have tried but been unable to undo this. Help!

From the Mail menu bar, select
Window ▹ Connection Doctor
Look for the unwanted SMTP (outgoing mail) account in the window that opens. Double-click it. Another window will open, showing a list of all the outgoing mail accounts. The unwanted one will be selected. Click the minus-sign button to delete it, then click OK.
If there's more than one unwanted account, repeat.
