Unable to set up new e-mail requirements with Outlook 2003

I've gotten the three e-mail and, today....one phone call, from Verizon "warning" me to change my settings asap.

It does not give instructions for Outlook 2003 and I have no idea how to make any of the other instructions work.

Someone, anyone, PLEASE help me???? !!!!!

Also, I hope I don't have to set up a new e-mail account. I have over a decade of e-mail's I do not want to lose because my current Outlook 2003 may not be able to convert and I may have to do so as I understand the instructions.

PLEASE HELP ME.

Thank you very much.

VERIZON Mail server settings On DELL 6500 Latitude iPad 2 Wi-Fi 32 Gb and iPhone 5

What is SMTP?

What is SMTP? Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet communication standard that lets email messages be sent to recipients with a high degree of reliability.

What is POP3?

Post Office Protocol (POP3) is an Internet communication standard that lets email messages be received and stored for you in your mailbox.

I did all of this when I was running Windows XP and Outlook 2003

NOW HAVE SWITCHED TO WINDOWS 7 AND OFFICE 2013

HOPE THIS HELPS YOU. GOOD LUCK

I did just as you said for the last two hours and it didn't work.

After receiving your e-mail, I did it again. Your instructions were what I was doing but for some reason, it worked.

Thank you very much! (I'm saving my old settings "just in case," given how Verizon has been known to work crazy).

I have an IPad 4 with retinal display and the same problems are occuring when I try and switch my settings. Do you have any ideas?

Thanks again.

The only reason I'm not saying "problem solved" is because I have two other PCs and one Mac to "fix." As I did what you suggested but it only worked after you suggested it (???), I'd like to try and fix the others first.

Thanks again!

Normally the outbound SMTP server has to be provided by the email provider, other wise if your email domain name is not part of the domain that the SMTP server recognizes as its own, it will not accept your mail for delivery.

You have to use your account to authenticate to the outbound SMTP server before it will accept your email for delivery. They do that to avoid spamers using their servers to send spam.

For example:

For my verizon.net account, I use smtp.verizon.net (port 465 with SSL on and password authentication).

For my gmail account, I use smtp.gmail.com (port 465 with SSL on and password authentication).

And for my live.com account I use smtp.live.com (port 25 with SSL on and password authentication).

They all work just fine.

Ipad email VZ Server Settings REVISED 5-4 2013 iPAD

SUGGEST YOU DELETE OLD VERIZON ACCT EMAILS THAT YOU REALLY DON’T WANT TO KEEP AT THE VERIZON SERVER.

DEACTIVATE OLD VERIZON ACCOUNT ON THE iPAD

ACTIVATE A NEW NAME VERIZON ACCOUNT ON YOUR iPAD WITH ABOVE NEW PORTS THAT VZ IS REQUIRING .

ANY EMAILS THAT ARE LEFT ON THE VZ SERVER WILL BE DOWNLOADED TO THE NEW VZ ACCOUNT ON THE Ipad

I FOUND THIS WAY TO DELETE OLD EMAILS WORKS PERFECTLY A GREAT CONTRIBUTION BY A FELLOW VZ FORUM MEMBER

Re: How delete over 20,000 old emails messages easily?

To delete all of your messages from your inbox, go to the settings tab, and then go down to "Number of messages per page" and set it to "No limit". Hit "Save" at the top and then hit OK when it asks you to refresh your browser. Then in your inbox, check the box that is to the left of "Sender" and hit delete. It will take a long time if you have that many messages, but it'll get done. Cheers!

AFTER YOU DO ALL THE CHANGES ON THE APPLES

TURN THEM COMPLETELY OFF SO CHANGES WILL "TAKE"

BobRudd

Tom,

Thank you, you've been a BIG help.

Would you know, step by step, how to change over the Verizon settings for an existing account in an IPad 4 with retinal display that was set up with the old settings ("incoming.verizon.net outgoing.verizon.net ) etc.?

The Verizon website "step by step," does not match up with the screens and I'm REALLY hesitent to go into my IPad and try "fixes" as there is no "going back" like in Outlook with an IPad.

Best wishes,

tcmits
