Itouch is connected but can't get email to work from Verizon account

Hi,

I have a new I-touch which is connecting fine to my wireless and will recieve and send email from an alternate email server.

But I cannot get the settings correct for my verizon.net address to work on the I-touch. It confuses me as my email address is verizon.net, but my old settings on my pc are incoming.yahoo.verizon.net and outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net. Should I be trying incoming.verizon.net, or incoming.yahoo.verizon.net.

I have my user name without the @verizon.net and I have checked the password many times.

I have the port setting at 587.

It is on password authentication.

Can anyone share with me which settings are working for them???

Thanks,

Laura

I don't have a iTouch, but I do have an iPhone ... the answer to your question depends on what "experience" you have when you get your mail from Verizon. Are you using the Yahoo! portal experience perhaps?

If so, the iPhone has a Yahoo! account profile which appears to work. You use your full @verizon.net email address as the logon userid and your email password for Verizon.

Standard POP also works ...

POP Account Information

Name: Joe User

Address: joe.user@verizon.net

Description: Verizon

Incoming Mail Server

Host Name: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net

User Name: joe.user@verizon.net

Password: ******

Outgoing Mail Server

SMTP outgoing.yahoo.version.net ->

Primary Server ->

Host Name: outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net

User Name: john.user@verizon.net

Password: ******

Use SSL: On

Authentication: Password

Server Port: 465

Advanced

Deleted Message

Remove: After One Week

Incoming Settings

Use SSL: Off

Authentication: Password

Delete from server: Never

Server Port: 110

Some of these settings are obviously personal preference, but there should be enough here for you to piece toogether what you need to get up and running.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just needed the updated ports and fine tuning of the settings like you sent me and it works great! It can take hours to figure these things out- which I just don't have right now! So I so appreciate it. I copied the settings and saved them for later use if needed!!!!!!!!

Thanks,

Tried for about one hour plus to get my iPod Touch4 to sync with VZ mail. Gmail was easy but this... On a last shot I found the Community and found Lasagna's post from 5/10...OK, last shot...let's try one more time.... Worked like a charm. I never could figure this Verizon/Yahoo synergy...I have a separate yahoo.com account which is now synced to Google G-Mail. Lasagna, a belated thank you.
