Settings for email applications other than MyVerizon

[112103]

The "new" settings for email applications other than MyVerizon (in my case Thunderbird) does not alow my antivirus program (Avast) to scan incoming mail because of the secure connection setting "SSL".

Thank you for the reply. I used the default settings (for POP3 & SMTP) in my mail client (Thunderbird) and I used the "new" Verizon settings (for POP3 & SMTP) in my antivirus client (Avast). My antivirus program Avast now scans incoming & outgoing mail.

That is great feedback, thanks for providing it!

Now, I wonder if someone from Verizon can maybe change the title of this thread to include the word "Avast"  so that other Avast users might find it quickly? Maybe something like: "Verizon Email Security Settings When Using Avast Anti-Virus" or something like that.

Thanks.

I use Windows Live Mail....I used the recommended settings and now I get an error message:

Unable to send or receive messages for the Verizon (kathyshumway) account. A time-out occurred while communicating with the server.

Server: 'incoming.verizon.net' Windows Live Mail Error ID: 0x800CCC19 Protocol: POP3 Port: 995 Secure(SSL): No

What have I done wrong? I don't remember the initial settings...please help!

Based on what you posted you failed to check the SSL box.

Here is a link to a thread I created a week ago with definitions that do work for Windows Live Mail:

Compare your settings to these.....
