Setting up Verizon Yahoo email on my phone?

I've searched for an answer to this, and can't find an answer. I got a Razr Maxx yesterday, and I can't get my Verizon Yahoo email set up on my phone.
This is the process I've been trying:
Set Up Account
Select Other (Selecting Yahoo doesn't give an option to change the settings)
Enter email address ([email protected]) & my password
Unchecked the Automatically Configure Account box
incoming.yahoo.verizon.net (port 110)
outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net (port 587)
User name: I've tried both [email protected], and also just my user name xxxxxx
Then I get an error message saying that I'm using the incorrect username or password. I'm definitely using the correct ones though.
Does anyone has an idea how I can fix this? I've already talked to tech support at Verizon DSL to confirm the settings. He told me to try the ports 995 and 465. Those don't work either, and upon further investigation on my own, I think those ports are just for FIOS.
I really want to love this phone, but I'm so frustrated right now that I'm ready to take it back to the VZW store and go back to my old iPhone. Any help is appreciated.

Yes, it's an old "grandfathered" email service that they no longer offer to new customers. Evidently, it's not very common.
I finally got an excellent VZW rep on the phone that investigated and figured out the situation for me. The problem was that the outgoing port should have been 25, not 587. Also, it's set up as a POP not an IMAP.

Android Phone and Verizon-Yahoo Email account

I've had my Verizon-Yahoo email account as my default email on my Android phone for nearly
2 years. Suddenly, it does not sync with my actual email anymore and I cannot retrieve newly
sent email to me.
What happened?
I deleted my Verizon-Yahoo email account thinking I could readd it without issue and now it
won't add it. So, I am without my regular, most used email address on my mobile phone.
How do I fix this problem step by step and what happened in the first place.
If I canot retrieve my email there is no need for data. I need it for college classes and work,
as well as other business uses.
Can someone help me?
In addition, I have been receiving ALOT of SPAM on my regular Verizon-Yahoo email over the
past 6-12 months and I don't understand why. How do I fix that. I keep sending these adult ads
and other SPAM to the SPAM folders but it keeps coming back!! Is someone signing me up
for this stuff and how do i stop t from happening?
Thank you for your assistance in advance.

Hi:
I experience the same problem when I downloaded systems updates on my Android Bionic phone, I was not able to sync my Verizon Yahoo email account. I went through the same steps and nothing worked, until one savvy Verizon Wireless IT support agent told me to download the Yahoo Mail App on to my phone and that solved my problem instantly. I logged in using my Verizon.net username and password and have been able to access my email with no problems ever since and have also updated my Yahoo Mail App and all works beautifully.

How do I add more fonts to my Firefox Verizon Yahoo email software for a larger/better selection?

The font style choices available for Firefox Verizon Yahoo email are very limited. I would like to have a bigger selection of email fonts available for use, Where can I obtain additional fonts? If they are available, how do I install them?

The font list is provided by Yahoo Mail, not by Firefox. Yahoo probably offers a limited selection of fonts because the fonts won't work unless they are also installed on all the recipients' computers.

Nokia C3-00 - Cant set up my Yahoo email account? ...

Hi
I recently bought the Nokia C3-00 on Vodafone but asked them to unlock it so that I could use my exisitng O2 contract.
I want to set up my Yahoo email account, but Im having great difficulty!
When I initially put my O2 sim card in, they sent me the settings for MMS and Web. I can get on the internet and I can access Facebook, but I cant seem to access the Nokia Ovi Store or set up my Yahoo email account.
I watched this http://www.youtube.com/user/nokiasupportvideos#p/u/15/lTlWUH5EqMw Nokia Support Video on Youtube but my menu looks different to the one in the video! When I click on the Mail icon on the Menu screen I have a message appear saying 'No mailbox created. Set up mail now?' If I click 'Yes' It says 'Use an existing mail address?' to which I also say 'Yes' and proceed to emter my email address, etc. Should this be happening as I notice in the video that Yahoo Mail is one of the options in the video, however as I have said I do not have that screen!
Can someone please help!?
Thanking you in advance!

Is it possible to switch from Verizon Yahoo email account to a basic Verizon.net account?

I have a Verizon Yahoo email account, and have not used it in a while. I recently started using it and realized that I hate the Yahoo portal (garish ads, cluttered interface, etc.). Does any one know if it is possible to switch to a basic Verizon account. At this point I don't care if it is the classic Webmail or the new Message Center.

Yes. I did just that a few months back. You can't do it thru the self-service portal however.
While I don't know if there are different requirements in different states or service areas which may affect who can switch, etc., what I did was use the tech support chat and explained to them that I didn't want the "Yahoo" experience any longer. Explained I was trying to switch to AOL just to get away from Yahoo but that it wasn't working thru the portal -- but once we started chatting I told them that I really didn't want AOL either -- just wanted the Verizon branded basic experience not a partner one. Took them about 15 minutes and the first line person had to involve and engineer behind the scenes to make the change, but they got it done without skipping a beat.
If you use a client other than the web client to get your email (like Outlook or Thunderbird or on a mobile device), you will have to reconfigure their POP and SMTP settings afterwards.

Having trouble setting up my Verizon/Yahoo email account on my LG Ally

I am both a Verizon Wireless and Verizon FIOS customer. I have an email account through my FIOS which is Verizon/Yahoo account, and has a @verizon.net address. How do I set up this type of email account? The only option my phone offers is through corporate (it's not a corporate account), so I tried using that option. When I entered in the requested data, I get an error message that tells me I am not using the correct server info. Am I doing this right? Can someone please provide the correct server info for a Verizon/Yahoo FIOS account?
Thank you.

I don't remember if you have to turn on the mail forwarding option from the options section on the web first or not, like Gmail. You may have to set it up manually.
# Under User Information, do the following:
   1. In the Your Name box, type your full name the way you want it to appear to other people.
   2. In the E-mail Address box, type your e-mail user name followed by @verizon.net.
# Under Server Information, do the following:
   1. In the Incoming mail server (POP3) box, type incoming.verizon.net.
   2. In the Outgoing mail server (SMTP) box, type outgoing.verizon.net.
# Under Logon Information, do the following:
   1. In the User Name box, type your user name provided by Verizon Online.
   2. In the Password box, type your password.
   3. Select the Remember password check box.

Setting up Outlook 2010 as email client for Verizon Yahoo email fails

I am trying to set up Outlook 2010 as my email client in Verizon Yahoo. I have reached the Internet E-mail Settings window in Outlook 2010 and entered the settings specified in the Verizon Yahoo! Internet Help file titled "How do I receive my VerizonYahoo! Mail using a different email program?". When I test the account settings I get an error message telling me that the server responded : 530 authentication required. Help.

Using my recently obtained Windows 8 64 bit, I have not been able to get Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer Share File Attachments or Photo Mail to work. From what I have read, Windows 8 has a problem with POP servers. But I suspect that what we are encountering goes beyond that.
At the onset, my only choice was Adobe Email Services for the Email client. After I installed Windows Live Mail 2011, I then had the choice for EMail Client of Windows Live Mail 2011 as well as Adobe Email client but neither solved the problem of no email generated.
a. For Adobe Email Service, used three different email addresses, got valid verification codes for each, was told by the program that I was good to email, yet after the email was prepared, no email with send button was generated for emailing.
b. I have looked at the system with two different anti-virus program...first McAfee and then Windows Defender.
c. I have changed the send to email addresses.
d. I have had no better luck using Windows 8 built in Mail app. In fact, my lack of success with the Photoshop Elements Photo mail feature and the Windows 8 built in Mail app was the reason for my looking for alternatives.
On a comparative note, when I use Photoshop Elements 11 in Windows 7 64 bit, I have the same problem with Adobe Email Service as the Email client. However, if Windows Live Mail 2011 is the Email client, no problems..email generated and sent successfully.
So based on my result, I would say that the answer to your question
"Is there some kind of issue between Adobe organizer and Windows 8?"
is Yes.
If Photoshop Elements 11 support says there should be no problem with this feature in Windows 8, then I would also be interested in knowing the details of its use of the feature to get the expected Photo Mail and File Attachment results.

Windows live mail 2102 and Verizon yahoo email

Hello
I have been using Windows live mail and Verizon yahoo together for over a year
I use Windows mail since I do like the Verizon webmail feel and format
These two program have worked fine for me until yesterday
Today we try to access yahoo mail using Windows live I get a series of errors .
These errors include
1) timeout
2) wrong password
Last night at the recommendation of VZ tech support I deleted my Live account and created a new one for the same yahoo mail address. This worked last night as all me server email were downloaded for Windows live.
However this morning when I access Windows love I get the same errors ay yesterday and no new emails since last night
I have deleted my anti virus program to see if this solved the problem , however this had no impact
Per VZ tech support I am using the correct port setting, I have tried alternative port setting with no luck
I would appreciate any help in fixing this issue
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have had the same experience. The answer is to disconnect your verizon email from yahoo email and then to setup your email settings as described in a recent announcement from Verizon that was sent to users that do NOT use the Verizon Yahoo servers.
Anthony_VZ provides instructions in the Verizon Community Forum - Verizon.net topic. I was so disgusted by the time I wasted trying to get support to answer the simple question of what settings I should be using that I was ready to dump Verizon completely. I was eventually sent to Verizon Premium Support that would answer the question for $14.99 per month with a commitment of 10 months. I have no idea if the Verizon Yahoo ports are even compatible with Windows Live Mail any more or not (nomal support is not "trained in Windows Live Mail"). How they can make something as straightforward as providing email client settings for a common client so difficult is beyond me.
As you can tell, I am very angry about the time I wasted on this. Disconnect your Verizon email account from Yahoo and life will be better. Good Luck.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Or this - Delete the account in Mail and then set it up again. Settings->Mail, Contacts, Calendars -> Accounts Tap on the Account, then on the red button that says Remove Account.

Verizon Yahoo email on Mac Mail App

Hi,
A friend of mine just got a brand new macbook pro with leopard. I'm trying to set up the mail app so he can get his email from his Verizon Yahoo account. I've set the whole thing up and he can receive messages but cannot send any outgoing mail. Any solutions?

in mail>preferences>accounts>account information you will see an outgoing mail server (smtp) field, click on the drop down list, is the smtp server for your friend's verizon email account there? if not you may want to choose edit list and add it. if it is there does it have the correct settings? select edit list, and check both panes, account info and advanced and check if the info is correct there.
also if you friend uses his/her macbook pro somewhere else than home, where presumably Verizon provides the internet connection, say at a friend's place with another ISP, then, maybe he/she will have to add the appropriate outgoing mail server to that list in order to send, as maybe that ISP at that friend's place may prevent from sending when using the Verizon setting.
hope this helps
