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

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.

  • Mail.app and Verizon / Yahoo email account setup

    I've searched and searched on here and still can't find a proper (or updated) answer to the question. (Newest answers I found were for 10.4.4 involving keychain access-which I tried...)
    Why won't my @verizon.net account work with Mail.app?
    I can login using verizon's online mail, but can't use the verizon-supplied settings to receive the mail through mail.app.
    incoming.yahoo.verizon.net
    outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
    Couldn't find what port settings to use...

    I think I might have found a solution. For some reason, it appears the outgoing mail server doesn't like to have the same login as the DSL setup account. I switched my outgoing account to a secondary account (my setup account is jsichol, but I used joesichol as my outgoing.)
    (It is working as of now, but I've seen others on here who got it to work for a couple of days before it crapped out.)
    I am actually using the verizon account linked with a yahoo account, so my ingoing and outgoing accounts are *coming.yahoo.verizon.net.
    I really hope this works and that others find this thread useful.
    I'm on Verizon DSL, in Richmond, Virginia.

  • HT4864 Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail?

    Can you use Windows Live Mail to send/recieve iCloud email and share contacts or can I just use iCloud email on my PC without use Live Mail? I want to use one email adress, one contact list and one calendar. I want to be able to have access to all this on my iphone and pc.

    You can only use Mail, contacts and calendars will not work, for that you need Outlook.

  • Windows Live Mail - Cannot download BT Yahoo Mail ...

    I've been trying on and off for about 4 hours to download my btinternet e-mails to Windows Live Mail.
    BT web mail is working correctly (sending/receiving).
    I have numerous accounts set up in WLM so that all my btinternet, gmail and hotmail e-mails are all in one place.
    All 9 of my btinternet mail accounts stall on Finding host... and the message eventually shown is The connection to the server has failed.
    My 4 gmail account and 5 hotmails accounts DO download to WLM.
    (Although I dont use Outlook Express anymore, I have my main btinternet account still there. So I launched OE and that too stalled on Finding host...).
    So does anyone know - are there known problems today with server?
    Thanks.

    Same issue for about 3 days now. Web mail working but cannot download incoming emails with windows live mail.
    BT support bl**dy useless as usual and we have to pay for the priveledge of using it . . .
    The solution offered in one of the links below is for Outlook 2007 - will this solution work with Windows Live Mail? Is peerblock still recommended? How do we know when our email has been migrated away from Yahoo and what are the email client settings we need to use?
    Any advice will be grateful, and the more detailed the better as I am reasonable tech savvy but not an IT guy :-)
    Thanks

  • Windows Live Mail not connceting with BT email

    Hi
    After 11 weeks trying to get help from BT I managed to get my BT email working, sort of. The problem I'm left with is that Windows Live Mail will not connect to it, an error message of user or password not recognised appears. I've read various messages on the internet but still have had no success. My Windows Live settings are as follows:
    Servers
    My incoming mail server: POP3
    Incoming mail: mail.btinternet.com
    Outgoing mail: mail.btinternet.com
    Email username: [email protected]  (have tried this with the part before the @ also)
    Password: xxxxx (Password working on BT email)
    Log on using clear text authentication
    Advanced
    Server port numbers:
    Outgoing mail: 465 with SSL ticked
    Incoming mail: 995 with SSL ticked
    Any idea what is wrong? Should I go back to BT about this when incoming and outgoing mail is working using BT email? Thanks for any help

    Password: (your normal email password)
    Tick the box “remember password”
    Tick “log on using secure authentication”
    Outgoing Mail Server:
    Tick box “my server requires authentication”
    Click on the button “Settings” ensure that it is using “use same settings as my incoming server”
    There are no changes in the “Connection” or “Security” tabs so ignore them.

  • 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.

  • Iphone interface with Windows Live (Mail, Contact and Calendar)

    I use Windows Live Free Download Client for my mail, calendar and contacts. (Just did not want to pay Microsoft for Outlook).
    My iPhone does not interface with any of the above. I am not able to view my calendar or contacts on iphone. For contacts I have to go in a round about way of copying to Windows Contacts and then copying to iPhone.
    Any easy solutions available or in sight ?

    Hi, you just need to add your Windows Live Calendar as a new account.  Go to Settings/Mail, Contacts, Calendars/Add Account/Microsoft Hotmail... and then add your Windows Live account and select the option to sync your calendar.  Your Windows Live caldendar will then be viewable on your iPhone calendar (click Calendars in upper left corner to verify).  You can now edit your Windows Live calendar on your iPhone and it will update on your Windows Live desktop client, and vice versa.  Hope this helps!

  • Setting up an account for Windows Live Mail, Calendar and Contacts

    Hey guys,
    Very recently my university mail changed from the regular webmail to Windows Live.
    The question is :
    How do I set up an account for emails, calendars and contacts in my mail.app?
    Also do I have to use entourage for this purpose or will the mail app be able to figure it all?
    Thanks

    You will need your email server addresses for the incoming and outgoing mail servers, your email username and password, and whether you need to use login security, POP or IMAP or Exchange account type, and any relevant port numbers. Then for Mail it's simply creating a new mail account and providing the above information where requested or needed. For assistance with the use of Mail select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu and search for relevant keywords. Same with iCal. In iCal Preferences click on the Accounts icon to configure an Exchange account.
    My guess is that if you ask at computer services at your university they can provide the web page at which you will find configuration instructions for using different email clients.
    I am not at all familiar with Windows Live but it appears that it may be a browser based information system meaning you may not be able to access it from Mail or iCal. Again discuss this with the IT people at your university.

  • I can open Windows Live with Ff4 and can 'see' emails but cannot open them. It was fine with Ff3. Is there a plug-in?

    If I right click on the messenger icon on the toll bar it opens windows live in firefox by default. Then the page just hangs. I can see the emails but cannot open them. It works ok if I load in internet explorer browser.

    That format is used primarily to record TV shows, which you are generally not allowed to edit.  So it's unlikely you'll find a plug-in or converter.
    Recapture using Premiere Pro or HDVSplit.  Those files will work.

  • Windows Live Mail and Mac Mail

    Hi,
    I have Windows Live Mail up and running nicely through Mac Mail (I have just switched from PC to Mac). However I'm wondering what's the right way to sync them fully. I mostly access email through Mac Mail now but whenever I need to access Hotmail through the web, all the msgs I have read or deleted earlier are still showing as unread.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Helen

    I see no one else has answered so I’ll try to get the ball rolling and maybe others will chime in.
    First, I am not familiar with Windows Live Mail so I can’t guarantee to give directions to get you there from here but I’m sure there is a way.  Some Googling found these paths:
    A tutorial on the process (transferring mail and contacts):

  • APAS 3.0 and Windows Live Mail program

    How do I change the email client that Adobe Photoshop Album Starter 3.0 is using from Outlook express (old emailing program) to Windows Live mail (new emailing program)? When I change the 'edit, preferences, email, to "Hotmail", it goes to a web site via IE (hotmail's website mail). But, I want to open and attach a photo to Windows Live Mail. Any help is appreciated.
    Jorge

    Hi Jorge,
    You can use Windows Live Mail for your emails if you set it your default email client.
    Go to Control panel->Internet options. Click Programs tab and select Windows Live Mail as your default client.
    Now if you would use APAS 3.0 to send mail, Windows live mail would be used for email.
    Thanks,

  • Revover emails from deleted account in Windows Live Mail

    Hello, I deleted my account in Windows Live Mail and tried the procedure to recover them from C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows
    Live Mail. 
    I also tried to Go
    to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft and then right click on the Windows Live Mail folder and choose ‘restore previous versions’ but I had no restore point (the option to generate a restore point had been disabled in the past due to the low HD capacity
    of the PC).
    I also tried to scan all .eml files from the PC to lave the emails but I had thousands of them in many folders and I can't locate them anymore.
    I believe that deleting an account from WindowsLive Mails does not definitely delete all emails in one click so where can rhese emails be?
    Thank you
