I had this same problem, and was frustrated that there wasn't a solution posted.
I tried one change - and all started working.
Pop3 : pop.verizon.net
Port : 995
Security Policy: Use SSL / TLS on special port (legacy) -- this was the change that resolved the issue
use credentials:
username : [mine]
pwd : [mine]
SMTP : smpt.verizon.net
Port : 465
Security Policy: Use SSL / TLS on special port (legacy) -- this was the change that resolved the issue
Verizon mail has always had a problem where it just starts to fail, but thankfully/oddly the fix is simple. Delete the account and put your same credentials back in.
I was hoping now that VERIZON got out of the e-mail business and AOL took over the problem would stop. Apparently not.
