How to set up Verizon.net email on the Apple iPad/ iPhone & iPod

After two hours on hold I finally got a soul to talk to but just to find out that nobody knew how to set up Verizon email account on the new iPad. It took me a few minutes but I figure it out by myself and I will be glad to share it with anyone by just calling me {edited for privacy} ( Verizon Wireless by the way - lol ).

Why not just post the process here?

Why not search for iPhone setup instructions on these forums? I have posted exact step by step instructions or configuration summaries at least three times in the past 6 months on this topic.

Here's one ....

The above one specifically deals with Verizon mail via the Yahoo portal. For Verizon regular mail you would modify as follows:

POP Account Information

Name: Joe User

Address: joe.user@verizon.net

Description: Verizon

Incoming Mail Server

Host Name: incoming.verizon.net

User Name: joe.user@verizon.net

Password: ******

Outgoing Mail Server

SMTP outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net ->

Primary Server ->

Host Name: outgoing.verizon.net

User Name: john.user@verizon.net

Password: ******

Use SSL: Off

Authentication: Password

Server Port: 587

Advanced

Deleted Message

Remove: After One Week

Incoming Settings

Use SSL: Off

Authentication: Password

Delete from server: Never

Server Port: 110

I have done this process and have my verizon email on my IPhone. I use folders a lot and my folders are not present on my IPhone except for the Inbox. With my Hotmail and Gmail email accounts, I was able to get all my folders included. Any idea how I get my verizon folders to also come over?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I was having trouble not with the set up of the email of the phone but of the deleting email from ipad/iphone/outlook i have gone through and tried everything and sat on the phone for hours trying to get someone to tell me what to do. you would think if verizon is carrying these products they would know how to use them correctly!

ITS AGGRAVATING HAVING TO DO IT TWICE

For those still looking for a guided set up of iPhone and iPad with Verizon email, simply go to www.verizon.com/repair and click on set up email. Then click the link for iPad, and it gives detailed step by step with pictures.

I'm pretty confident you can't do that with Verizon because they don't support iMac. Imap is the type of email that will let you do that. Verizon does standard pop3.

Ok so I am getting and sending emails. Your directions were perfect. But it is still not bringing over any folders except my inbox. How do I get my created folders as well as the other basic folders (sent and trash)?

Thanks for any further help you can provide.

I just got the ipad2 and need to set up verizon.net email. It keeps popping up asking for my password. Do you know how to set it up on the ipad in steps?

mslongbeach

Can you send me the instructions for setting up verizon.net email on an ipad 2? I keep getting pop-ups asking for my password. Also it says it cannot connect to yahoo server. I have verizon.net email through yahoo.

Ptaemm

I went to the website above and added "yahoo.verizion.net" to my ingoing and outgoing hosts and that worked for me. Thanks!

If you could help me set up my Verizon on iPad would be great. Thanks. Donna

What settings are you using?

What error are you getting?

Is this a regular Verizon account or a Verizon/Yahoo account?
Are you able to access the account via webmail?

Are you able to (or have you tried to) access the account via any other email clients?

In response to the new settings required for Verizon email accounts I called into Verizon and was told that they do not support the new setup on these devices. So I called into Apple and they talked me through. The problem is that the default settings for Pop accounts will no longer work once the old settings are transitioned full time by Verizon to the new settings. So here is the work around:

1. Delete all of your Verizon accounts on your Apple devices and start again.

2. In settings go to Mail, Contacts, Calendars and select

3. Click on Add account

4. Click Other

5. Click Add Mail Account

6. Type in your Name, e-mail address, the WRONG password, and your nickname for the account under description. It will take a few moments to verify but it will get you where you need to go to manually input the settings.

7. By typing in the wrong password it takes you into the manual settings and you can change the incoming to pop and the outgoing to smtp. But here is the trick. Under user name you must type the full e-mail address on both lines that it asks for the user name. And after you change the incoming and outgoing lines you must also, of course, now put in your correct password.

8. It will take a few minutes to verify but it will now take the new settings.

Do this for each account. If you go into advanced you will see that the new ports are automatically correct, as in the instructions sent by Verizon or listed under the Verizon announcements in the I Want To / Check Verizon Announcements post on 1/29/13. You can also adjust here when you want your deleted emails automatically removed.

Note: Verizon tech support does not have these instructions. They came directly from Apple Tech Support. If you go to the Apple Webiste, and need free tech support you can also register for a call, and under the expemptions box just check off that you have recently updated your software, and they will give you free tech support. Also a good thing to know.

Hope this helps out some other frustrated Verizon customers.

I wish I had come across your post before attempting the changes. In despration while on hold, I finally put in my full email address for the User Name. Next time I'll read through a thread a bit further!

Finally worked for me....go to settings, Verizon mail. Incoming... Pop.verizon.net. Outgoing... Smtp.verizon.net. Primary server.... Smtp.verizon.net on. Go to advanced....use SSL is on. Server port 995 for incoming and 465 for outgoing. Authentication...password
S/MIME. OFF
Works on ipad and iphone

You cannot get folders with Verizon.net email! I added a gmail acct.

OKAY So there are LOTS of answers to this question which don't work because they do not include the full list of variables resulting in inconsistent results.

The solution I am about to describe is SPECIFICALLY for YAHOO account holders whe's email address was later appropriated by verizon resulting in a username@verizon.net email address which was the case here with my mother's email. The problem is two fold so you will need a browser first and your phone mail client second.

1. open the url:

http://yahoo.com

This can be done on the phone's browser or a computer but they must share the same WIFI or the same network IP

2. sign into yahoo account with your username@verizon.net email address and password.

*This MAY result in a CAPTCHA challenge. If it does, you are addressing the first fold. When the phone app tries to log into the yahoo account it can not respond to a CAPTCHA challenge and fails.

3. Resond correctly to the CAPTCHA challenge image if you are presented with one. By doing so, you have validated your current network access point with Yahoo.

4. If you used your phone's browser, skip to step 5 otherwise...Connect your phone to the same WIFI your browser was using. See your iPhone manual or apple website for instructions ( http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398 )

5. Open Settings

6. Tap Mail, Contacts, Calendars

If you have a failed Verizon Mail Account in your accounts list, delete it before proceeding

7. Tap Add Account

8. Select Yahoo!

9. Name the Mailbox (MyVeizonYahooMail for instance)

10. Enter your VERIZON email address. ie. username@verizon.net

11. Enter your password.

Description should auto populate as Yahoo!

12. tap Next.

You should see a screen that has a list of services followd by on/off switches all turned on.

Mail, Contacts, calendars, notes, etc...

you're done.

To be clear:

The above solution was formulated on an iPhone 5

running iOS 6.1.3

as part of a Sprint Wireless family plan

This works on iOS mail for Yahoo email that was consumed by a Verizon highspeed internet account.

You must first validate your network IP from a browser so you can authenticate with CAPTCHA if required.

Once your network IP has been authenticated you can use the same network IP to attach your iPhone mail client.

You may or may not have to authenticate with CAPTCHA depending on your usage and location, but if you don't, and CAPTCHA sends a prompt, the iPhone can not answer the challenge.

You will not see this and your connection will fail.

Better safe then sorry.

Heretic

Hi Hubrisnxs, I've tried many times to do what that link instructs us to do, and i always get the message "The POP server "pop.verizon.net" is not responding." And yes the ipad (mini) is connected to the internet, and all the fields have the correct info.

Mayita1

I looked into the above link but the screen shots don't match th screen for my iPhone 5. Does anyone have instructions for the latest version of iOS.?

Thank you, thank, you thank you! This is the first advice in over 2 years that has worked. I let the verizon email just go to my iPhone after being frustrated trying to get it on iPad. Today I now have it on iPad and everything works perfectly!

Awesome! Thanks for sharing.
