Verizon server timing out when using Yahoo to send and answer emails from Verizon user

A friend uses Yahoo for his email even though he is a Verizon customer. Frequently when he sends or responds to emails from my Verizon email account, he gets Failure Notices saying that the "Verizon Server is unavailable for too long". How can this be fixed short of saying "stop using Yahoo"?

The Yahoo/Verizon issue happens when Yahoo blocks Verizon's servers or vice-versa, and is usually cleared up within a day or two.
You can report it to Verizon if you want, but odds are they're already aware.

Can I use iCloud for sending and receiving emails from my own domain name?

Hello,
Hope that someone can help me please.
I have my own unique registered domain name.
Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone. Works just fine.
However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
If so how do we achieve this?
Appreciate your comments and advice.

Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

Msg say SMTP Server timed out when sending email w/attachment; otherwise sends fine.

I have problems when sending an email with attachments (generally pdf). I get the error msg stating my smtp server connection has timed out. I can 'sometimes' reboot after saving the email, once restarted I can open the draft and it will go... sometimes not. I test the smtp server by immediately sending a 'test' email without any attachments and it will go right through. Open the saved draft and attempt to resend and it will fail. SMTP settings are correct and have not changed in several years and have not experienced any problems until this latest update to Thunderbird. I can use the same account at Go daddy's web mail application, send the same email with the identical attachment and it works correctly... so I don't think it is the 'attachment' or it's size. I can send 'test' emails to myself or my wife's account and everything works correctly during the session until I attempt to send an email with the attachment and it fails. Immediately send another 'test' email without attachment to the same account and it will go through. I am at a loss as to what to do next to correct this. I am contemplating an uninstall and re-install. No new software has been added to this computer and this problem just recently popped up. I'm stumped...

This sounds like more McAfee funny stuff. But it could be any anti virus really. Disable attachment scanning on outgoing mail and you should be good to go.

Wget - Connection timed out when using "long" strings

I'm having a problem with a little script to change some settings for IP-phones. Here is the script:
#!/bin/bash
for i in "0" #"4"
do
for j in $(seq 176 176)
do
wget --timeout=1 --tries=1 --keep-session-cookies --save-cookies cookies.txt --post-file=postfile http://192.168.$i.$j/dologin.htm
wget --timeout=1 --tries=1 --load-cookies cookies.txt --post-file=postfile2 http://192.168.$i.$j/update.htm
done
done
postfile looks like this and is just for logging in:
P2=<pass>&
postfile2 looks like this:
P270=123456&
The problem now is, when using it like above, everything works fine. But if I make the text in postfile2 one character longer, I get this:
Connecting to 192.168.0.176:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response... Read error (Connection timed out) in headers.
Giving up.
It doesn't matter where I put the character to make the string longer (I can for example use P32=1234567& and it works). I have tested the script from different machines and used different phones, always the same. Any ideas?

daf666 wrote:The two files look identical, are you sure that the "bad" one is actually a capture of the timed out session? (both have same data length and same value in the content-length header).
Yes, they are different and the bad is is from the timeout .
daf666 wrote:Anyway, this timeout might occur, if for some reason wget will say content length is 10 and send only 9 characters in the post request..
Any idea what I can do about it? There is something fishy going on. I did this once before a few month ago when I wanted to change other settings. I tried to do the same thing again but even this doesn't work anymore. Maybe I should just try curl .

How do I use Thunderbird to send third-party email through Verizon SMTP?

What exact settings do I need to select in Thunderbird for outgoing email in order send email? I have a third-party email address, not Yahoo or Verizon.
Based on other posts, I have set:
server name: outgoing.verizon.net
port: 587
CHECKED 'use name and password'
username: entered verizon username
use secure connection: 'no'
When I try to send email, I get prompted for password multiple times, then ultimately get "Send Message Error" - 'Sending of message failed. The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP server outgoing.verizon.net failed...'

Your verizon.net password is not necessarily the same as your .com password. I have downloaded Thunderbird and tested send/receive using the verizon.net outgoing server and it works just fine, so it is something in the settings you are using.

Can't stop backlight timing out when using OverDrive media

Subject says it all. The OverDrive brightness control does nothing. Constant dimming makes the Playbook rather useless as an eReader.
Any ideas please?
Thanks.
Donald
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi: Slightly embarrassed! Did none of those things. Finally realized that I could set the time out to a maximum of 5 minutes. The choices I initially saw only ranged from 10 - 45 seconds and I didn't scroll up. Hey, we can't be bright and intelligent all the time!
So, the two minute setting works as it takes less than two minutes to read a screenfull, and hitting page forward keeps the PB awake.
It was mere stupidity on my part as I thought that I was stuck with a maximum of 45 seconds.
If only I could answer my other PB questions as easily!

Keep getting "not responding" when using Yahoo's new version of email on a Win8 Lenovo computer

Firefox no longer works properly. I tried the reset Firefox option, but that did not help. When I try to delete an email, I receive the not responding message. When I try to move an email into a folder I receive the message. When I try just to go to the next email, I receive the message. If I try to mark a message not spam, nothing happens. If I wait, eventually Firefox responds and I can move on to the next email. Obviously this is very time consuming and I find that I just don't read my email as I don't what to spend the time. I contact Yahoo and they responded back that it is a browser issue. Because Firefox is the only browser I have on my computer I need to get this working properly again. One more thing, sometime this non-responsive message shows up when I am using other sites, but just not as often as when I'm trying to read my Yahoo emails.
I thank you in advance for answering my question and try to help me get this issue resolved.

To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
(1) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
The following pages provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.
(2) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.

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.

'408' error server timed out because of added software?

i get a '408' error--server timed out when i try to download from iTunes--this is straight after installing legit rosetta stone software--a windows site mentions this as a possible cause--and the timing points to it--other songs downloaded--but pretty sure it stopped after the software finally got properly installed--any ideas? Thanks.

You are welcome.

Server timed out while loading the home page.Loads when refreshed.

Hi All
I have developed my application in .Net framework. I tried to deploy the application in PlumTree Portal server. The application gets timed out when run for the first time ( i.e, as soon as user logs in). It gets loaded when the page is refreshed. I tried inreasing the portlet timeout in web service, but of no use.
I have used "Response.Redirect" in my home page to load the screen as per the user. Could this be a problem? Or is there a problem an someother place.
Any help or suggestion is welcome
Thanks,
Karthick

Hey jennifer,

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic.

I'm using Entourage 2008 v 12.3.5 and lost ability to SEND. Tried many small email tests. Server continues to leave time out message. "An operation on the server timed out. The server may be down, overloaded, or there may be too much net traffic." Comcast tells me server is not down all other network activity is fine. WHat's up with this?

Starting earlier today, this also became my problem - can receive but not send in Entourage. The account settings are correct in Entourage - I even created a new account. My Mac running 10.7.5 won't read the original Office : MAC 2008 disk, so I can't do a fix or reinstall from the disk.
This is not an issue if I log onto the Comcast site.
And so, I started using Mail but, unlike Entourage, Mail won't import my Entourage info.
Argh... :-(

Request timed out when purchasing music. Fresh install of Win7.

For the past couple months I have have not been able to purchase music off iTunes without first going into Add/Remove programs and doing a "Repair" to iTunes. Windows Firewall wasn't blocking anything from Apple and even with the firewall totally disabled I would still get the "Request timed out" error. And at the same time I'm getting these errors, a Podcast can be in the background downloading or I can be previewing a song! I eventually gave up and just figured its some random windows bug that isn't very common or its just another example of iTunes sucking for Windows and Apple not caring. I just purchased most of my music off AmazonMP3 which I've been doing more and more of anyway.
Yesterday I installed a new HDD and installed a fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium from my retail disc. I Installed all the updates then proceeded to install my software and put all my media back in-place. I'm a backup neat-freak so all this happen pretty easily and fast. I purchased a song off iTunes and was pleased to see it working again. Well here I am again suddenly having the issue with the connection timing out when purchasing a song. Firewall is configured fine and again I even disabled it. I know its not Windows now as there haven't been any new Drivers or Updates installed since I last purchased a song. I even tried different network adapters! What the heck is going on?

This error is specific to RAS. The default CORBA request timeout is 10 minute = 600000 ms. When the RAS SDK does not get the reponse back from RAS server in 600000 ms it throws this message. Why it works in InfoView\CMC what I believe you refer to as "Front End' application is because InfoView\ CMC don't use RAS.
1. First make sure that a smaller report wich runs pretty fast ( 1-2 min) works. This will confirm that there is no connectivitiy issues between RAS and RAS SDK.
2. If you get the efrror for every single report, even the smaller ones, make sure the box running RAS and RAS SDK code( in case they are 2 different) can ping each other with IP, shortname and FQDN. If there is a firewall between them, the RAS port needs to be opened for bidirectional communication. By default RAS chooses a random port for communication with SDK but within CMC you can configure it to use a specific port and open it.
3. If the issue is specific only to reports that are long running, typically more than 10 minutes, then you need to inclease the CORBA timeout to a value more than what the reports typically would take to process. This is done on client code side or IIS in this case.
Here are the steps:
Make the following changes on the application server/system.
Open RegEdit by going to Start > Run and typing in regedit.exe. Then click Ok.
Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Business Objects\Suite 11.5\Report Application Server\Client SDK\CorbaAdapter
Change the value of SendRequestTimeout(ms) to 100000.
Change the value of WaitReplyTimeout(ms) to 6,000,000 ms. The default value is 600,000 ms and may not be long enough.
Restart IIS by going to Start > Run and typing in iisreset. Then click Ok.
Retry the failing application.

This error should be easy to fix

Attempting to reply to responses on "Sign in not working, no confirmation emails issuing, server timing out,

I can't reply to the above two posters because I can't get in to my "account" where it says "Sign In". I can't find out what bit is wrong because I can't get an email response from where it says "Send Email" I can't create a new account because I get told my email is already in use. (I use that email daily so it's not dead.) So, I can't engage in a meaningful discussion of what is wrong because to reply to every reply I get I will have to create a new email account every single time. It would be a useful start if I could find out why I can't get into my support account and why I can't get my login info emails.
When I try to get to my newsgroups I get this, every time.:
"Connection to server news.eternal.september.org timed out"
When I try to sign in to my account which doesn’t exist apparently I get this
"Please enter a correct user name and password"
When I request an email with my username, none arrives. When I get asked to confirm my email, it does not do any better.
All I want to do is get back to my news groups. If it’s too difficult to be positive and helpful, say so and I’ll drop the issue and uninstall Thunderbird and Firefox.
