Security of reading e-mail over gprs
Hi there,
when you use WLAN with your mobile and read e-mail you can enjoy the WPA(2) encryption. But what about security, when you are on the road and have to use e.g. GPRS? Yahoo e.g. has no pop3 encryption, so the pop3 password goes plain text over the air... Or am i wrong? What is the security level offered? I am not worried about reading e-mail from Google GMAIL, because pop3/ssl encryption is mandatory for GMAIL. But, what about GPRS connection using a service like Yahoo mail that does not use eny encryption? The password goes plain text into the air...
Hi Maggie:
PLEASE PROVIDE SOME MORE BASIC INFORMATION
Are you “looking” at your email DIRECTLY on the Verizon “site” OR are you using a program like Outlook ?
What Browser do you use…Chrome …Internet Explorer ?
If you have more information please include it …don’t worry if it is relevant or not.

Problem sending mail over GPRS/EDGE
problem sending mail over GPRS/EDGE
i am in thailand right now with my iPhone 3G 16 GB (italian, no SIM-lock, 2.2). my problem: the iPhone does not send emails via GPRS/EDGE of local AIS mobile provider (there is no 3G in thailand right now). each time i try, i will get a prompt saying 'cannot send mail, the connection to the outgoing server "mail.gmx.net" failed'.
in germany, i use a contract SIM from o2, in thailand a prepaid SIM from AIS. i have configured 2 german pop mail accounts on my phone (gmx.de, o2online.de). receiving and sending email work fine on WLAN (everywhere, also here in thailand) and in germany on 3G/EDGE/GPRS. internet works everywhere, too. so, configuration seems to be okay. for each account, i use the same (smtp) sending server for all networks (ie i do not change configurations, using mail.gmx.net and pop.o2online.de). for a test, i changed smtp server to the AIS proprietary server mail.cscoms.com, but no change in behaviour.
so, any ideas how i can get my iPhone to not only receive but also send emails via GPRS of AIS?
thank you!ok. i found the solution.
The problem is not in the iphone, the problem was DNS resolution in the server side. -
I forgot my security question and the mail they send for recue the awnsers are wrong
i forgot my security question and the mail they send for recue the awnsers are wrong, like my mail is [email protected] but they say they send to f・・・・・・・@live.com, first i thougt that was normal but the mail never come...... someone help me!
Call Apple for support. They have account security who can reset those security questions for you if you can verify the account over the phone... Once your security questions are reset you can go to appleid.apple.com and manage your account there! good luck!

Secure Emailing with Apple Mail/OS X
Greetings everyone.
I've been tangled in an email mess for a month now, and I need to resolve it before a hoard of friends and business contacts lose faith in me. All ideas are welcome!
The story so far. Our family has multiple email accounts with a local ISP, vallnet.com. A month ago we finally got satellite internet access through HughesNet.com. We want to keep a cheap account with vallnet, though, and continue using our vallnet email addresses. Vallnet has a procedure for accessing their email servers through another ISP. I followed their instructions, imported their authentication certificate, and was able to download emails.
Sending emails is another matter. I tried every possible configuration for my Mail account smtp settings, and eventually took a MacBook Pro over to vallnet for them to configure. After a few days they returned it. They say that it is impossible to access their secure smtp server using Mail. They say that their system is entirely standard complient, but that Mail or OS X is making some assumptions about protocols that will not work with their server. IS THIS LIKELY? If so, WHAT CAN BE DONE ABOUT IT???
They suggested relaying our outgoing emails through HughesNet's server. Hughesnet does not allow this.
Vallnet suggested getting a static IP from HughesNet which they could tell their server to accept. I checked and this would require us to upgrade our service plan with HughesNet, plus pay a monthly fee. This totals around $300/year, so is not an appealing solution.
Vallnet, of course, also points out that most of their clients are using Outlook Express, and if we just used it...... Nope! I love Macs and I'd really prefer to stay with Apple Mail. Is there any hope of this?
I've spent a month wrestling with this mess. I keep calling various company's tech support lines, but there seems to be a universal rule that forbids techs from two companies from consulting with each other. They keep telling me that the problem is not on their end, and spouting technical Jibberish that I try to relay to the next tech on the next call. I'm afraid they all realize I haven't got a clue, and my sanity and sense of humor have just about evaporated.
Okay, Folks, any ideas?
Many thanks!
Kim
PowerMac G5, 17" MacBook Pro, 17" PowerBook, 15" PowerBook Mac OS X (10.4.8)Hello and thanks.
Yes, at vallnet's suggestion I tried using port 587 and later port 425. No luck. They say that other mail programs are not having difficulties.
They said they had found some articles on the web about how other small ISPs had also had difficulties with secure connections and Apple Mail. I have not found any such articles yet, and they have not forwarded any links to me.
Yes, I have been wondering which set of tech support folks was giving me the biggest runaround. You're probably correct, though I suspect both have been less than enthusiastic about trying.
Yep, we've considered switching email addresses. With several businesses and some personal accounts, this would be a major headache. It seems like a good last resort, but not something that we are happy to do. If we can figure out secure emails, this would be far preferable.
I do appreciate the feedback. I will keep your suggestion in reserve.
Many thanks! -
Verizon "flips switch" that has killed Pegasus mail over SSL
Last night Verizon email.administrators "flipped a switch" that has killed the use of Pegasus mail over SSL using TCP ports 465 and 995 as Verizon suggests we use.
I have experienced this and so has every other Pegasus Mail user who is on Verizon email.
There are posts on Usenet and posts on the Pegasus Forums
Thus the problem is not just me but ANYONE who is using Pegasus mail with the Verizon email server using...
# Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
# Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
# Outgoing mail server (SMTP): outgoing.verizon.net
# Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465 Why is this important?
# Your Verizon Online user name
# Your Verizon Online password
# Make sure "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is checked.
The Lithium Software sux !!Might be a bug in Pegasus related to TLS 1.1/1.2 security. Based on someones post over at the site you pointed to looks like its not picking up the entire key. Microsoft made changes in the support modules to fix a bug earlier this year and it causes the key to be split over transmissions. Almost the same thing happend for web pages, including Verizons, when that change went in.

Firefox also crashes while viewing a web site or reading e-mails
in the last 2 days Firefox has crashed at least 2 dozen times, usually while viewing a website or reading e-mails. This has started since I downloaded your updated version about a week ago.
I don't know what the version number was.It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Hi All !!!
I am developing a program to receive and send data over GPRS. A remote device is sending data at a particular port (6600) of my server. I am able to read that through ServerSocket. However I am not being able to send any data to that device.
Any help?I am using the code:
// Constructor
public ServerSocketReader(Socket socket) {
super("MultiSocketThread");
this.clientSocket = socket;
this.setDaemon(true);
public void run() {
try {
OutputStream out = clientSocket.getOutputStream();
InputStreamReader in = new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream ());
//BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(_filepath, true));
java.util.Date date = new java.util.Date();
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, dd-MMM-yy HH:mm:ss");
GprsProtocol protocol = new GprsProtocol();
int charCount = 0;
char[] cBuffer = new char[1000];
byte[] bBuffer;
String fromClient = "", toClient = "START";
int ii = 0;
while ((ii = in.read()) != -1) {
fromClient = fromClient + (char)ii;
if (fromClient.endsWith("2Y")) { //according to protocol
toClient = protocol.processInput(fromClient); //Protocol
bBuffer = toClient.getBytes();
for (int k=0; k<bBuffer.length; k++) {
out.write ((char)bBuffer[k]);
out.flush();
fromClient = "";
out.close ();
in.close ();
clientSocket.close ();
//bw.close();
} catch (IOException ioe) {
//out.println("Error::" + e);
System.out.println("Error in writing file : ");
ioe.printStackTrace();
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error in ServerSocketReader : ");
e.printStackTrace();
finally {
//this.destroy();
I am geeting the error at line :-
while ((ii = in.read()) != -1) {
the error is :-
java.net.SocketException: A connection with a remote socket was reset by that socket.: A connection with a remote socket was rese
by that socket.

I cannot open my Yahoo Mail but everything else is OK. When I click Yahoo Mail Icon, I get this error message "Safari Cannot open this page. Safari can not establish secure connection with Yahoo Mail.
It sounds as though a script on the site, or an advertisement, is not working quite right...
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
(You also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button ''or'' Tools menu > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now")
(2) Remove the site's cookies using either of these. Save any pending work first.
While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Then try reloading the page. Does that help? -
Unable to read Yahoo mail since OS6 upgrade
I use the iPhone 4S. Prior to upgrading I was able to use the Yahoo app to read my Yahoo mail. Since the upgrade, the app prompts me for my password and ID, I enter it, it prompts me again, I enter it, it prompts me again... It's a loop. It never allows me to read the mail.
When I go on the net from the iPhone, and I get to Yahoo mail, it will prompt me for my password and ID and loop again!
Using a computer all is fine to retrieve Yahoo mail.
I do not have Yahoo mail as one of my iPhone mail accounts. The only way i read it is through the Yahoo app.10-12-2014
We have been dealing with this for days! I'm so disgusted. I've been on the phone with verizon and apple for hours several nights repeating myself over and over to different customer service reps and techs. No one could help.
Thank you for this answer. Don't companies communicate with their customer service techs and tell them that there are issues going on and they are trying to fix it? I wouldn't have wasted so much time on the phone, online chat and research--I would have just waited.
All of a sudden yesterday the email came up! It loaded hundreds of old emails! My husband went through and trashed all of his old emails.
We have an older ipad, a new ipad (Model MD510LL/A) purchased this summer from APPLE online and 2 iphones (Iphone 4 and one is iphone 5 bought this summer at Target). The older apple products are now running with this tip you gave here.
The new ipad and iphone received today all the old emails AGAIN, but no new ones nor the "testing emails" I sent from my ipad.
NOTE: I have not had any trouble with my webmail on my Hewlett Packer Laptop. I really question myself whether I would purchase another apple product. I had been looking at a new iphone, but that's not happening. By the way--I myself do not like the larger size on the iphone 6. I just want a phone that fits neatly in my pocket and purse and not a "mini-mini ipad."
NOW how can I correct the new ipad and iphone 5? -
hi!!
i want to ask something about my project...i hope you can help me!!
i will control my PC with my Cell Phone over GPRS. sending data from Mobile phone ot receiving data from PC.
Will i write two program for client side and server side?
i thinked that J2ME program is suff�cient to write my project...
How can it be done???Which program must i use?
Thanks....hi
it means that you want to give the command or do you want see the screen also!
i am not sure about my idea but still i am explainning you!!
you have to make one application on the server side(PCthat you want to control) which should on live IP mean that it can be accesssible from GPRS... there should be one service avail which should continously listen the client request(Mobile) and one the mobile device application to connet and to send/receive command!! you can do by using Socket prgramming that would be easier for you!! then depening upon the command you have to make that action that can be anything!!
and if you are planning to get the screen i dont think so it would be possible coz of speed of GPRS connection!!
i hope i am clear

My boss has an original iPhone and I am constantly having problems keeping his e-mail functioning properly.
The latest issue is he can not send e-mail over the Edge network. I visited the AT&T support page, and they say to contact Apple for support.
Here is the message I get when attempting to send mail:
"Cannot send mail. One of the recipient addresses was invalid."
It is a POP account that works fine when sending mail over a wi-fi network. I have our smtp settings for our pop mail entered in his account as the main smtp server. There is also an additional server named AT&T SMTP Server.
When trying to send mail over the Edge network, I turn off the wi-fi access to force it to use the AT&T smtp server (cwmx.com) and every time I get the above error message.
I have another boss here with an identical iPhone and email settings that has no issues. The problem phone was brought to the local Apple Store and had the sim chip replaced, other than that they have no idea what is wrong.My boss has an original iPhone and I am constantly having problems keeping his e-mail functioning properly.

Help with security questions/ rescue e-mail
I just got an new iPhone 4s and after setting it up I tried downloading something on it. It then asked me for my security-questions (which I don't remember as I signed up almost 3 years ago).
