Verizon/Yahoo

[coaste]

How do I get Yahoo Mail OFF my Verizon email account.  I want Verizon mail and I don't want it going through YAHOO.  Doesn't anyone know where that setting is?

BTW I still have my lag problem... haven't played my game in a week now. Never mind monitoring the server I play on, I can even play as a single player

Starting about a month ago I apparently stopped receiving email messages from Yahoo email users.  Well, not completly stopped, but I only receive about one out of every four emails from a sender with an username@yahoo.com mail account.  I have attempted contacting techincal support about this with zero responsiveness.

Is anyone else seeing this problem?  I've included a portion of the ultimately received non-delivery notice that is received by the sender.

This is frustrating because I do get some emails but not all...and I have no way of knowing that I'm not getting the email.  This has happened with more than one Yahoo email user.  There is something with the Verizon mail servers that is simply not responding to the Yahoo messages in a timely manner.  The below emails are received by the user sometimes three days after they sent the original message.

Can anybody help?

Thanks.

Wow,  I couldn't believe someone wrote about this.  The timing is the same - very recent.  Here I am a yahoo email account and I have found several instances where friends arent receiving my emails and then i saw the common thread was they are all verizon users !!   Awaiting any other help...?

Same with Comcast e-mail.  Here is a link to the post that I submitted a few weeks ago.  Very, very frustrating.

after you've added yahoo to the acct, it is not easy to get rid of. First your stuck with it for a minimum of 6 months. After 6 months, you can contact Verizon tech support and ask them to enable portal switching on your email acct. Once that is done, you start by saying that you want to switch to AOL. You follow the process until the point where AOL starts asking you for usernames and passwords. You then cancel the process at this time. Now you have no portal partner with Verizon.

Complicated and difficult to do. A total idiotic way to handle it but thats the way they have it set up.

Now personally, I'd leave it on yahoo as it has far fewer problems than the plain verizon webmail, but thats just me.

I think you're right. It sounds like a lot of work.  I think I'm going to think about before I do it.  I've had verizon for 3 years now I like everything up till now and I got a lag problem on the internet and yahoo mail crapping out on me.

I'll give yahoo/verizon another chance for now..... 

Thanks for all the advise

With the switch to Verizon mail from Yahoo, I can no longer receive email into my Outlook 2007 mailbox. I have made the changes required to the Incoming and Outgoing mail server addresses (change "incoming.yahoo.verizon.net" to "incoming.verizon.net" & same for Outgoing). I have changed the outgoing server port to 587. Despite following all the Verizon specified changes, I continue to get the "Type your username and password" pop-up over and over. I can log onto the Webmail application and see my emails fine.

What do I need to do to get Outlook working with the new Vz setup?

For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "fakeacct@verizon.net" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.

The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: incoming.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
Port: 110


Outgoing Server: outgoing.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): No
Port: 25 (although 587 also works.)

4 possible issues

A) you have a setting wrong... somegirl provided all of the correct settings

B) you are using the wrong username/password.... Here is a direct link to the "Forgot my password" https://www.verizon.net/ssowebapp/alternateAuth/altChoice.jsp

C) there is an issue with your account.... contact Technical support

D) there is an issue with outlook.... unlikely, but possible..... Remove/delete any and all emails from the outbox, close outlook, reboot your PC, and try again.

Dear Mr. Mudpuppy,

Are you using a main verizon.net account, or a sub-account?  My main account was transferred over to verizon.net on Saturday; however, none of my subaccounts were transferred.  They are still available under the old yahoo.com access / pop3 settings.  I have not seen or heard anything from Verizon.net regarding what the problem is with the sub-accounts.  This has been a poorly executed transition, but that is what you get when you outsource everything to India.
