Yahoo.verizon sent e-mail delayed for hours before being delivered. HELP!

I have been using Entourage, on my Mac, as my mail application for years without a problem. During the past week I started to notice that my e-mails were not being answered. Upon further investigation I learned that my e-mails were not being delivered until several hours after I had sent them. This afternoon I sent a dozen e-mails to myself and everyone took nearly five hours to be delivered to me.
My verizon mail service is yahoo.verizon. I have checked all of my settings and they are correct. My outgoing SMPT server is outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net and set to port 587. When sending an e-mail with Entourage the e-mail are sent without a hitch. They simply aren't being delivered by yahoo.verizon for hours later. They apparently arrive at yahoo.verizon and then get trapped there for hours!
What is causing my e-mails to be delayed? Is it a Verizon issue? A Yahoo.verizon issue? It does not appear to be an Entourage issue as I've not changed any of my settings. 
IF I send an e-mail using yahoo.verizon on my web browser, the e-mail is delivered almost immediately.
I would contact verizon by phone if I could speak with someone in the U.S.A. that could help me, but I don't have three hours to be on the phone with someone overseas.
Can anyone help me with this problem???? 

Was contacted this morning by a nice gent from the Verizon Operation Support Center (OSC).  As of yesterday, this is now a known issue.  Verizon learned in discussion with Yahoo yesterday that they are working on email servers to swtich to a new webmail format.  They did not believe that their work would cause any disruption in service, but oviously it is.  Unfortunately, no committment as to when this issue will be resolved.  I don't expect Yahoo to slack off on a committment for resolution.  There is an option to have Verizon switch from Yahoo email support of your Verizon.net email account back to Verizon email servers.  You can contact tech support to do this.  I am going to hang in there for another week in hopes that this issue goes away.  I like the ability to use Yahoo's webmail to read both my Verizon and Yahoo email accounts.

  • Incoming mail delayed one hour

    Hello all,
    Since day one of running ML Server, some mail from outside the LAN is always delayed exactly one hour before it gets delivered. Ironically it's always mail from Apple. Mail from anywhere else never has a problem. Any thoughts on what this might be...?
    Thanks!

    This sounds like grey listing?
    See this thread for how to disable:

    Although, disabling may be a little severe. There should be info somewhere on here about white listing domains too.

  • My recirculating pump in sub vi simulation link doesnt work in the second iteration .It opens for maybe half a second whereas i gave the time delay for 5 secs..plz help very urgent

    Hi,
         I have attached my simulation loop.In the model attached i hav eone main pump with constant rpm which drives the 5 smaller pumps and fills the tank at the same time.As soon as the tanks reach their 90% level,the valves of the five pumps close(SP1,SP2,SP3,Sp4,Sp5).After that the recirculating pumps opens for 5 secs of the first tank.As soon as the recirculation finishes,the drain valve(SV1) for tank 1 open and the volume goes to interim storage.This happens for all the remaining tanks.
    My simulation works the first time,but when the second time the loop starts,it skips the recirculation pump even though i gave a time delay for 5 secs.Plz help ..I have attached the simulation.
    Thanks,

    Rami,
    I suspect that you have a race condition. The widespread use of local variables frequently leads to race conditions. Your subVI (Spatial Logic Sub_2.vi was not included) so I cannot run the VI. You have no way of knowing whether the subVI or the inner case structure will execute first, because there is no data dependency between them.
    I think a shift register or a few and some dataflow thinking would allow you to eliminate the inner case structure, the local variables, and, probably, most of your problems.
    Some of the SPi are indicators and some are controls. How are they used?
    The last case of the inner loop retursn to Case 1. Would case 0 be better?
    As for the second time through issue, it may be related to the Elapsed time function Auto Reset. From the help file: "Resets the start time to the value in Present (s) when the Express VI reaches the Time Target (s)." If more than 5 seconds elapses between the first time you use this and the next, it will exit immediately on the subsequent calls.

  • Went to update my software for my ipad 2 and it has been stuck on the conncet to itunes screen for hours. Can anyone help?

    I went to update my software for my iPad 2 and my ipad has been frozen for hours on the connect to itunes screen. I unplugged it and tried to recover it but it doesn't work. When I connect it back to my computer it says ITunes has detected an ipad in recovery mode. You must restore this ipad before it can be used with itunes.
    Can anyone out there help?

    If this message appears - did you try to restore it with iTunes?

  • Why does Mail delay for up to 30 seconds before sending messages?

    This did not  happen in Mountain Lion and it's one of a number of annoying new things I'm encountering in Mavericks.
    Every time I compose an email and hit "Send" the mail goes into the outbox and sits there for a while - sometimes a long while (up to 10 seconds or more) before it gets sent.
    Not only that: I then get a message in "Mail activity" that a much larger number of messages is being sent. Even if I'm only sending one, "Mail activity" tells me that 5, 6, 10  messages are being sent.
    Is anyone else wresting with these really annoying issues in Mail?

    Double-checking all settings is good. Along the way, one thing to try:
    Have a look at your SMTP server settings to see if the port is set to "default" or "custom".  If it is "default" try switching to custom using one of the numbers listed under "default". That fixed it for me on one of my accounts.
    (To do all this:  Mail, Preferences, Accounts, Outgoing Mail Server, Edit SMTP server list, Advanced.)

  • Iphone5 - lost my contacts when moving from BT Yahoo to BT Mail. I do not back up to iCloud and I did not use my mail account for contacts.  Can anyone help to find and restore my contacts?

    IPhone5. I have lost my contacts when moving from BT Yahoo to BT Mail. I do not backup to iCloud and do not use my mail account to store contacts.  Can anyone help find the contacts on my phone and restore them?

    Contacts are designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service like Gmail, iCloud, or an Exchange server.
    Have you failed to use the device as designed?

  • Mail unavailable for hours

    I haven't been able to get mail all day. I get "the server "mail.mac.com" cannot be contacted on port 993." When I try to get mail online it says "we're sorry, .mac mail on the web is temporarily unavailalbe." Anyone know what's going on? Does that mean .mac mail everywhere is down?
    powerbook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    I also have not been able to access Mail (on my computer, or on .Mac) since about 9:00 this morning. I also encounter the "temporarily unavailable" message on the dot Mac site, but Mail now prompts the following message:
    "There may be a problem with the mail server or network. The server error encountered was: your IMAP server appears to be temporarily out of service."
    Mail status is green on the dot Mac website. Hopefully they can address these issues quickly.

  • Cannot send messages since updating to Thunderbird V 31.3.0. The message could not be sent using SMTP server for an unknown reason. Help?!?

    Mail provider - Network Solutions
    ISP - Comcast
    Anti-Virus - Kaspersky Internet Security 2013
    OS - Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
    Outgoing Server SMTP settings attached.
    I can receive messages and can send them directly from Network Solutions just unable to send now from Thunderbird. Was working fine until the newest version installed. Haven't changed any settings...

    That anti virus? is it Nortons security suite? I think that is what comcast give their xfinity customers but I am not sure what everyone else gets.
    Assuming is is the Norton's product go into the firewall component and explicitly allow Thunderbird unrestricted access to the internet. Norton's product have a long history of blocking new releases of mail programs because the version number changed.
    Go onto the SMTP setting you have in the image and make sure each has a description entered.
    Now check in the account settings by clicking the account name in the list so you select the item about Server settings for each account and make sure the selected SMTP server is what you think it is. Now there is a description that will show in the list.

  • Exchange mode- mail wait for minutes before the app sends out mails

    Guys I have a company email address when I was going with POP everything was perfect.
    But IT guys forced me to go with exchange I thought it should be ok too, but I can bear anything else only thing which is very difficult to understand.
    When I send out an email, no matter is it big or just few letters, the mail app will put it there and wait for so long, then it will start to send it out.
    I don't know what is the reason, why it is designed like this??? Any thing that I need to configure even I have done checking everything I can find.
    Thank you!

    Even it is by imap of gmail???

  • My e-mail address for Skype was changed. Help?

    Hello, first off let me state that I am using this account, but it is my other account that I need help with. I recently received an email stating that my email address for skype had been changed. At that time I received 4 unauthorized charges for "Skype Credit" from my Paypal account. I now cannot login as my password has been changed and I cannot access help from that account without logging in. Can someone with Skype please help me so I can close that account before more charges are attempted? 

    Try this one:
    Settings > Store > tap on your Apple ID. Log out and then log back in with your new account information.
    I hope this works for you.

  • Mail not receiving emails after being delivered on iphone (still on server)

    On the G5, Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

  • Anyone know the SMTP (outgoing mail) address for Verizon / Yahoo ?

    Every time I upgrade the Operating system, Windows "Easy transfer" only saves and transfers mail & settings if you use IE.
    I use Firefox / Thunderbird.
    The last time I laboriously found it on this site it was not the correct one for the customers who selected Yahoo as their email server and I have yet to find it on the Yahoo site.
    Isn't "self service" great !!!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I figured it out on the Verizon automated answering irritant whose actual answer is of course wrong.
    They say it's, "outgoing.verizon.net."  It's actually, "outgoing.yahoo. verizon.net" if you chose to use Yahoo for your email.
    It's the "outgoing" part that I was getting wrong.  I was using "smtp."

  • Emails sent through Mail 7.0 on Mac won't appear in the Sent folder in the Yahoo web browser or the Mail app for iPad.

    It seems that emails I send via Mail on my mac are stored only in Mail's Sent folder. These emails don't appear in the sent folder of Yahoo web browser, iPad Mail app, or the Y! Mail android app..
    I've tested to see whether my emails are actually sending properly, and they are. I just want to know why the Sent messages on my mac aren't appearing anywhere else. I've read similar issues to this but haven't yet found a reason or solution.
    Thanks in advance

    [edit] I dragged the email I sent through the MBP Mail app (under MAILBOXES > Sent > Yahoo!) to the highlighted Sent folder (YAHOO! > Sent), and now it shows up on all Yahoo Sent folders (iPad app, web browser, phone app). Not entirely solved the issue but will use web browser to sent future emails to keep everything in sync.
