If you give the specifics of your setup (in detail), perhap a volunteer here will be able to come up with some ideas.  Browser, email client, operating system, settings in detail, hardware, changes recently made, etc.  Just a start.

I also made these changes and it didn't work. This is all a big nuisance. Why does Verizon have to hassle us by making these stupid changes. Maybe I should dump verizon and go back to comcast.

I tried this several times yesterday and again today. My iPhone message is, "The mail server "pop.verizon.net" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings."  Doesn't work on my friend's iPhone either, so I know it's not just me.

Iphone users MUST completely shut down their phones and start them again for these changes to work.

And you really must make the changes before they shutdown the old servers.

If one is uncertain whether or not a technical request is valid, why would one consider clicking on a link provided to verify that it is valid? It would be like getting an email from your bank from an AOL address and then clicking on the link provided and giving them your bank account's pin number.

The email didn't suggest clicking on a link, it suggested that you manually go to the Verizon Announcements page.

Have changed the settings on my iPad and iPhone per the directions from Verizon and they are both working at this hour.  Changed the settings on my iMac using Apple Mail, and I can receive email but I cannot send any email!!  Very frustrating.  Verizon, what gives?
