I've had to change my settings back to what they had been. What are the precise settings for outgoing? Password type, authentication and original port #.

For some reason, the SMTP will work, but I am forced to use the incoming server instead of the POP with an apple ipad

Had the same problem. What's going on Verizon?

Verizon really screwed it up. Read through the posts here, and go back to your previous settings.

On Friday morning, I stopped receiving emails on my iPhone, iPad and Gmail (I had been importing emails from Verizon to Gmail).  I've talked to several Verizon reps and they have escalated the problem (service ticket).  They admitted that it has something to do with the server update they made on Friday morning.  I have tried using the incoming and pop server names as well as the outgoing and smtp names, but nothing works!  I keep getting an invalid username and password error when I try to add my Verizon account to any device.  This is strange since I am able to sign in to Verizon webmail using the same username and password.  My husband also has his Verizon emails on his iPhone, iPad, and Gmail and he has had no problem.  He is still receiveing all of his Verizon emails.  HELP!!

The new POP3 server settings work perfectly on my 2 Windows 7 PC's using Outlook 2010.  However, these new settings will NOT work at all on any of my Apple devices - iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPad, MacBook Pro or MacAir.  I needed to reset them to the original Apple settings to connect to the Verizon server to send and receive email.  Go figure.

I use Thunderbird. Haven't changed anything and it's still working fine.  I bookmarked the page to the new settings so if they ever become needed for Thunderbird, I will have them.   But considering the problems other users have reported with the changes, I'm sticking with the "If it's not broke, don't fix it" philosophy.

While I do not use Thunderbird regularly for my email, yes I do have it, and yes, the new settings work (just verified they do as of about 2 minutes ago). Some people seemingly have problems getting the settings to work, I have no idea why as most don't bother to post their settings that don't work so it is impossible to tell why. But I have been using the new pop/smtp server settings for weeks, not a single failure.

Here is a link to a thread I created way back in Dec. 2011 regarding settings for Thunderbird:

http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/Mozilla-Thunderbird-SSL-Account-Definitions-for-veriz...

Back then it was for the then-new incoming/outgoing SSL and port definitions. In Jan. 2013 Verizon changed the server names to pop/smtp. Way down in that thread I have documented using the newest settings:

http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/Mozilla-Thunderbird-SSL-Account-Definitions-for-veriz...

Again, these settings work!

Some people have apparently decided to just wait for a while before changing their settings. That is fine, but I suspect that at some point Verizon will decide to disable the incoming/outgoing names, and when they do their email will just suddenly quit, and they will have to change immediately. I have no idea when this might happen, but my guess would be 3 to 6 months from the original announcement in late Jan. 2013 (only a guess, no inside information or anything).

I hope this helps. If you decide to make the change and have problems, if you will post your settings I suspect someone here can quickly identify where the problem is.

Justin convinced me to go ahead and test it.  Changed the setttings in Thunderbird and it still works as before the change.
