unable to send or received emails with the new settings ofYou'll need the following email settings:Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.netIncoming Server Port Numbers: 995Outgoing mail server (SMTP): outgoing.verizon.netOutgoing Server Port Numbers: 465 Tried called several times however the wait is too long.Thank you for taking the time to read this message; and I look forward to a reply.

if the SSL settings don't work right off the bat, then try disabling the firewall and antivirus. if you disable both and it STILL doesn't work, then try the NON ssl settings and see if those work instead.so those settings areincoming.verizon.net port 110 ...

Thank you those setting worked. I did not know that you could use different settings to send and receive email from the same company. Thanks again.

www.verizon.com/repair try their auto fix tool. it worked for me.

For what it's worth, it took me a moment, but I figured out how to get K9 for Android to work with the new required settings. The key was "SSL (If Avalable)" as the Security Type. I suspect Verizon has not actually turned on SSL yet.

I've found that the instructions to set-up the new email servers was missing an important step. After you go to "internet email settings", select "Advance" tab (at top right of window) and enter the new port numbers and check "encrypted server connection".You must also select the proper type of encryption, (SSL) from the drop-down menu located on the next line after the outgoing port selection.After you hit "OK", your test message should be successful!

Armond_in_nj,Thank you for your advice. I checked it out and have verified the validity of the message.Now I'll head down the path(s) to the black hole of techno-hell, checking and changing settings for any/all applications and devices.Definitely not how I want to spend my time today or this weekend...

Am I being paranoid ...The notification is legitimate. If you check elsewhere on these forums and search "email settings" or similar, you will find the same notice. I also got the same email and later confirmed it on the VZ pages.

Did you select these settings as the product of an email from verizon-services@verizon.com?I received email on one of my sub-accounts, subject "Action Required Now - Important Changes to your Verizon Email Account".The specific instructions pertained to applications such as Outlook Express, MS Outlook, Windows Live Mail and/or hand-held devices. The settings suggested for inbound and outbound server were as you indicated.I smelled a rat, as it were, and am reluctant to comply with this mailed instruction set because it came by way of the "raw" email address of a sub-account (as opposed to primary) and it seemed quite unlike verizon to communicate instructions like that in the format it was sent.Your thoughts please? Is this some form of scam? Am I being paranoid (and even if I am, it doesn't mean they're not watching me ... 😆 ).

I'm going to stick with that unless I'm given a very good reason to try another port.I'm afraid that the "very good reason" (if indeed you experience it) will be security related and that could spell trouble. VZ is making changes on their serves primarily due to security and encryption requirements. Although the old settings still work in the majority of cases, they won't do so indefinitely. Also, along the way it's possible that lack of the prescribed security may result in some sort of attack on your machine. Not good.FWIF I found that there were indeed a few minor issues with the changes but that the net result was worth the bother.

Some career related emails are being blocked. I just submitted the "whitelist" request....how do "port" numbers effect out and in mail? When should a port number be changed? For what reason?
