this is the 1st time i have ever configured my email. i have just bought a mac computer and it seems as though i was able to set up the incoming portion of my email as i am receiving emails. i used "mail.verizon.net" as my incoming mail server. (i guess this is correct, not really sure) I have tried a few things but im not having any luck. im dont know if i need to use a custom port. im not sure if i need to use SSL or password authentication. iam really just blindly trying things as ive never done this before. can anyone be of assistance? thank you

Smtp settings are
SSL on
smtp to port 465
password authentication required (usually set as use same settings as incoming). And set to clear Apop or clear text, cannot be secure password authentication
server (unless using yahoo) is outgoing.verizon.nel
pop3 settings are
ssl on
smtp to port 995 (which is the standard port for pop with ssl on)
password authentication required. And set to clear Apop or clear text, cannot be secure password authentication
server (unless using yahoo) is incoming.verizon.nel
