"Prolly" is an English language variant of "probably." It is a failed attempt at linguistic humor that is only used in remote and seldom-visited portions of the United States, regions rarely if ever exposed to the glare of clear thinking.
armond,
i would give you a kudo for that but my kudo button stop working today sorry brah.
We are Pennsylvania Dutch or German and have been living in this state and city since 1713. We are still working on mastering the English Language and now the Hispanics have taken over and between the two groups you don't hear the Kings English very often.
Prolly was new to me thank you for sharing, these forums can reach the world and we all have some learning to be done from time to time. Thank you for defining the term for me.

I can not understand how if I just put incoming.verizon.net or outgoing.verizon.net will work and it hasn't we have always had incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. The Verizon Tech gave us maybe three choices of servers AOL, Yahoo and something else in order to receive our emails. Our accounts have always been that way for some years now. I tried the pop.verizon.net and the smtp.verizon.net and the test for the account fails even quicker. How would we receive our emails without the yahoo link being in the incoming.yahoo.verizon.net?
I know there are a number of others who seemed like us to have this problem after the huge updates by MS a week ago or so. Even though we have Office 2003 Pro MS installs Office 2007 files. I tried uninstalling those however it did not make any difference now anymore.

you need to update outlook to 2013. what don't you get about updating?
I am using a version of Outlook older than 2013, and it works fine. You do not need Outlook 2013 if you are using Outlook.
I am using the the settings on this Verizon link and they work fine. Be sure to set the SSL settings correctly in the more settings area of the account setup, and ensure you check the "My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication" and "Use the same settings as my as my incoming mail server" box/circle on the Outgoing Server Tab.

I'm not really surprised that you don't. While it's true that in 1713 we officially did have a King, a lot's changed since then.
history forum? still no kudo button armond can you troubleshoot the problem please
Someone posted this on another one of the Verizon Forums, there are a number of them all concerning basically the same issue or error.
It required no updating to a new Outlook Program, it works for at least 2003, 2007, and 2010 there is no reason to invest in any new Outlook.
I followed this very carefully and it took care of everything. I printed the instruction and followed them line by line and everything is back up and working.
If I can do it believe me ANYONE CAN.
I followed your suggestions, went to the www.verizon.net web page,
followed the ACCOUNT > Account Profile > Residential > Jump to "Online Experience" route and was able
to finally change my "Online Experience" from Verizon Yahoo! to just plain Verizon.
Changed my home page to http://myverizon.com in Safari Preferences, then clicked OK on the confirmation page.
Updated my e-mail server settings as follows as shown on: http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/fiosinternet/email/setup+and+use/questionsone/...
Information repeated here as an example for the fictional account: nomoreyahoo@verizon.net (password = Example1)
Mail server settings
In Apple Mail, use the above information as follows -- In Mail version 5.2 for Mac OSX 10.7.x:
Update: verified that the settings above work from both my iPad and my iPhone for both incoming and outgoing messages.
He never said he doesnt understand about updating. He clearly stated that he doesn't understand the word "prolly".
