"Authentication" when pop or smtp with Verizon e-mail using Evolution

SandraLAVixen

I'm using Evolution 3.2.3 as my e-mail client.

It's worked with literally every ISP and mail service other than Verizon.

I followed the instructions on the Verizon support e-mail client setup:

• Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.verizon.net
• Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
• Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net
• Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465 Why is this important?
• Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.

But if I try to receieve or send e-mail I always get a "Bad authentication response from server" error.

Has anyone ever got Evolution to work with Verizon?

I searched and it seemed to work up until the year 2013.

For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "fakeacct@verizon.net" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.

The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:
Incoming Server: pop.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes
Username: fakeacct
Password: fakepassword
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 995


Outgoing Server: smtp.verizon.net
Server Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)
Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): Yes
Port: 465

If you are given the option anywhere for Secure Password Authentication (SPA), set it to No, Normal, Plain, etc. - This can also be listed as "Authentication type" in some clients.

These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net

If all of that is set up and it's still not working, your best bet is to provide a screenshot of your settings (with personal information blocked/removed) and any errors you are getting.
