Verizon-yahoo Email Server Error

Been having this problem all week...
I can log into Verizon.net from all my devices and can access my bills, services, etc, but when I click on the email link it says "The sever is currently unavailable. Please try again later". Both my blackberry and iPhone started getting errors accessing my Verizon email at the exact same time. Verizon customer service has been no help after 3 calls. Anyone have suggestions for a fix?

I used Verizon Live Chat and they fixed it remotely. Looks like someone hacked my account and spammed all my contacts. At least my email is back now.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Blue.

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.

Firefox periodically shows "server not found" message for Verizon/Yahoo email. Often self corrects in 5 to 10 minutes ?

System is Windows VISTA. While on Verizon/Yahoo mail Firefox will lose the connection and shoe a "server not found" message. Explorer will connect with no problem to the email server. The problem self corrects with in 5 or 10 minutes but this may happen 5 or 6 time in a day.
Is this a Firefox problem with proxy access. Settings appear to be the same.

i forgot to mention , that when i striped this machine back down to 10.3.7 and before i re built i did do a hardware check with the original install Disks [3] and every thing came back clean.
the weird ness with the colors on window, if i pass a app like text edit over the area , the color will not cover the app but stay in the background.
when i first saw this color thing i had the preference pane out and was moving it around on screen and the colors were bleeding off of the preference pane onto the screen.
if you have any idea as to what is going on here let me know.
thank you

AVG says your server messed up my Verizon Yahoo email. The line that reads delete, move, not spam, more...does not load. I can see my email, I just cannot open

I just spent over 5 hours in computer share with AVG. They said your server messed up my email account. I can get to my email account, but the line that reads "delete, move, not spam, more" never loads...therefore, I cannot delete email or anything else. My email account is at verizon yahoo. I need access to my email for various reasons, one of them being I pay many bills online and my email account is where I get certification that the payment went through!! My email will work through IE, though. I do not want to utilize IE to see my email...I use Firefox for everything and it would be a pain in the butt to have to switch to IE to access my email. Not to mention, I loathe IE--it's like using WEBTV! It's soooooo slow.... [email address removed, please do not post sensitive information in a public forum] is my email...

Did the support person have you do the usual:
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.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your Yahoo.com cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Any improvement?
In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
Not all add-ons are disabled: Flash and other plugins still run
After Firefox shuts down, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset).
Any difference?

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.

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.

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.

Thunderbird can't sendmail on yahoo email server after updating to Windows 7 Pro on an ASUS BP1AD PC. Tried Thunderbird 31.2 & 24.6 configured as IMAP.

After recently updating to Windows 7 Pro on an ASUS BP1AD PC, I can receive email but NOT send using yahoo mail server. I am configure to use IMAP. Other email servers/accounts do not have this problem. The exact error message I get is an alert which states: "An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded: From address not verified - see http://help.yahoo.com/I/us/yahoo/mail/manage/sendfrom-07.html. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again" If my email address in Thunderbird is good enough to receive messages iwhat's up with sending. Is there something obvious I am missing?

When you send mail the field you mention is used to populate the "ReplyTo: fild in the mail header. Otherwise it has no purpose and setting it to nothing will also work.
Yahoo are obviously checking that field as you send mail. that is points to a valid address, and I have a sneaking suspicion that is might be required to point to your yahoo mail account.
Historically the"Nigerian" type scam emails used a replyto address completely different from the one used to send the mail. So even if the sending account was closed down they still got the replies. The mail quite commonly originated in Yahoo and replied to Hotmail accounts. So I guess they have a check to try and discourage that legitimate, but undesirable from their perspective, use.

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

Strange delays in receiving Verizon-Yahoo emails

This is very weird. I receive emails to my Windows Mail account fine and to my Verizon Wireless email program fine.
However, when I send emails through Windows Mail or from my Verizon wireless using my Verizon email accounts (partnered with Yahoo) there are usually long delays off and and on, up to 6 hours. Tech Support has escalated the trouble ticket to Yahoo external services, but this has been going on for almost a week. They wanted to say it was in my Windows Mail program, but that would not explain the same problem in my WIreless account.
The only way I have no problems sending emails is by sending them through the Verizon Yahoo web page.
Does anyone have an understanding of this weird technical problem, since Verizon shows no server problems anywhere affecting my service area?
Thanks!

I did three screen shares with Verizon Tech Support and they insisted I contact Microsoft. On Thursday they told me they heard from Yahoo External Team that there was a problem but it had been fixed((!!). I thought on Friday morning it had been fixed,

I have two email accounts under my main umbrella Vz account. We use Outlook 2007 on one computer to download and send email for one of the accounts and Outlook 2003 on another computer to do the same for the other account. Both have been experiencing outgoing email delays, typically from 2 hours to (now) four days. I called tech support on 11/3 and again on 11/4. I was told, after much discussion both times, that it was the Outlook software. I strongly contended it "couldn't be." They gave me some things to do, like remove mail from the server Inbox (easily done), call Microsoft (Hah!), and re-install Outlook (huge pain). Finally, after doing all the things I could think of, including downloading Eudora as an email client (only to get the same delay problem), I called back today. They finally acknowledged that they have a problem: "Our engineers are working on it and it should be fixed in 24 hours." I have been surviving by using the webmail version of Verizon/Yahoo mail and my BlackBerry, both of which avoid the delay. But it is mighty inconvenient. I will be asking for a refund for 25% of my monthly bill.
but it wasn't by Friday afternoon.
I told them my Verizon Wireless was also affected so they escalated the case yesterday. As of now I only receive emails after several hours and the ones I send take several hours. I am still receiving emails that were send on Friday!
Wonderful........so it's over to Gmail. Even when I synchronize gmail accounts to the verizon accounts there is a delay. So for now it's over with Verizon.net emails and of course like you I shall insist on compensation.
