IMAP settings for Outlook 2013

I am getting an "unrecognized response" error when setting up a residential IMAP Account in Outlook 2013 connecting to my Vz email account.

the account specifics are using

incoming.yahoo.verizon.net on 995 SSL

outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net on 465 SSL

Outgoing requires authentication.

Anyone who can has the right answer to set up an IMAP Account in Outlook 2013? I think I have the right settings, but I cam getting this crazy error. And of course, Vz help was not helpful as they do not support IMAP. They only support easy items that are cheap to support not valuable and functional things clients want/need.

I'm not familiar with setting up an IMAP account, but the instructions for POP/SMTP suggest turning off password authentication. You might try that.

It's not that they don't support IMAP, it's that Verizon doesn't offer IMAP. You can't set up POP3 servers and expect them to function as an IMAP account.

Still more POP email accounts in the world then IMAP.

I was never a fan of leaving my message on a server, and like being able to access my email when I don't have internet access.

Imap is of course popular for those with smart phones/devices and not enough memory to store all their messages/attachments on them.

Yes, I found that one to be correct if you are a verizon/yahoo customer and your email ends in verizon.net.

incoming.yahoo.verizon.net on 995 SSL

outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net on 465 SSL
