The problems started this morning.  This happened about a year ago too.  NIGHTMARE.  When i called the last time, they gave me the run around and told me it was my phone!  I referenced an email and then all of sudden, they retracted the answer and tried to help.  It never worked until I went into the Verizon store and the employee re-did all my settings.  If they have a server upgrade it should be pushed automatically somehow.

We also cannot connect to Verizon email through our Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2013 clients this morning.  Both clients were able to connect successfully/normally last night.  We are able to log into Verizon's webmail and access email there with no problem.  Our connection settings have not changed and have been verified as being correct from checking with Verizon's required email account settings (POP, SMTP, port settings, etc.).  We are in the Boston area.

Just spoke to chat support, confirmed there is an issue.  No time that we could bet on for restoration.  Of course verizon webmail is working.

Eastern Massachusetts- cannot send emails via Outlook, although I can receive them*

* my incoming emails are to a comcast email address so that's no surprise.   Have tried outgoing.verizon.net (which I've had the outgoing setting pointing to for 3 years) and smtp.verizon.net.    Both with port 465 and SSL.    Also tried SSL off, no luck with anything.

Same problem here in Boston. Just called a friend who works for Verizon. He said there's a major outage that they're having a probelm correcting. Seems to be a breach from an outside source that hacked into system late last night. Could be a while before they can resolve. Told to use the Verizon Webmail site.
