mail servers

[alanm47]

can someone give me the names of the verizon incoming and outgoing mail servers. I'm trying to set them up in mac mail and am having some trouble...thanks

[CharlesH]

incoming.verizon.net

outgoing.verizon.net

Have outgoing server authenication on (on a mac you should see a dropdown and see "password" as one of the options).

Username

Password

That's pretty much it.

[iheartfios123]

yeah, but now the whole email address has to go in as the user name, and if you are using yahoo as your portal, the servers are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net.  HTH!

[alanm47]

So far I've tried...

incoming.verizon.net

incoming.yahoo.verizon.net  .... it's the same with outgoing...

neither will work...

u have password authentication for the outgoing server and your user name as ______@verizon.net?

Not sure what errors you are getting with it, but having password for authentication is a must.  Also, you might want to disable SSL on both the incoming and outgoing servers.  I have heard that doesn't work well with SSL on Apples.

[iheartfios123]

Oh yeah it doesn't work with SSL at all.. and the incoming port # should be 110 and outgoing should be 25.  I think u have to click advanced

I tried everything, nothing seems to work. I had no problem with two other mail accounts. It's just verizon that I seem to have issues with. The mail program is mac Mail 3.5 that I am using. Any other suggestions by tech support or anyone is appreciated. Thanks

ok - just to verify..

In acct information

- Acct type is pop

- email address is there

- incoming mail server is incoming.verizon.net

-username is yourusername@verizon.net

-password is there (you might want to go to webmail.verizon.net to make sure the password is right)

-outgoing mail server smtp is outgoing.verizon.net

-use only this acct is checked

- drop it down

- go to edit server list

- click advanced

- server port is 25

- authentication is password

-username is yourusername@verizon.net

-password is there

USE SECURE SOCKETS LAYER SHOULD NOT BE CHECKED 

in acct info screen for inbox

-click advanced 

-enable this acct and include when checking for new mail are checked

-port is 110

-authentication is password 

- again, use SSL is not checked

If that doesn't work when u send/recv, make sure u can actually send/rcv on Verizon's website
