Verizon email and Windows 10

[DMB12]

Recently purchased a new computer with Windows 10.  Cannot get Verizon email to sync with the new computer.   I am not extremely tech savy, know enough to get around, but this just confuses me.  Everytime I re-enter my password (when it tells me my email is out of date) it does not save it.  Any help would be appreciated.

Hi: DMB1

IN WINDOWS 10 go to

Click on: Mail (Microsoft Outlook …)

                E-Mail Accounts…

                E_Mail tab

                     Name:yourid@verizon.net    Type: POP/SMTP

                 Change tab

                      Your Name

                       Email Address

                        Account Type: POP3

                        Incoming Mail Server: pop.verizon.net

                        Outgoing Mail Server(SMTP): smtp.verizon.net

                         User Name:  ******     I use my VZ Residential ID

                          Password:   ******      I use my VZ Residential PWD

                           REMEMBER PWD

Test Account Settings: Automatically test ….

More Settings

   General tab:   UP TO YOU  

   Outgoing Server tab:

          My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication

                Use same settings as my incoming mail server

Note also that you have to let the mail and client have access to Calendar in your privacy settings.  I had denied all seemingly unnecessary access originally and it would not sync.

Hi tns2:

 Where exactly are these privacy settings.....in VZ email or Outook ?

[tns2]

There in Windows Settings/Privacy.

Hi tns2:

Thanks for pointing the way.

For DMB1's info went to :

Start>Settings>Privacy>Calendar

Let apps access my calendar  ON

Mine was as above .... guess that's the default they set up.

I'm going to try the stuff you suggested. Windows 10 keeps changing my verizon.net password after I sign up and then gives me the error message your settings are not up to date Webmail works fine thanks I'll let you know

OK. I have done all of the steps that are in this thread. I was and am using old Outlook 2013 for email. All identities are working. I decided to migrate to Win 10 mail. All gmail and aol identities working properly. But I can not get verizon.net mail to work. Any thoughts?

[tns2]

It is, or at least was, a little tricky.  Involves at least one edit in advanced settings of a line that they are unclear about.  Currently don't use except on my Windows Insider preview, and currently the email version there is broken, so a can't check details.  The pop server and smtp server have line entries are colon delimited and have the port numbers specified there and a 0 for no ssl and 1 for ssl.

So new PC here, with Windows 11. How do I get the "Mail" app to work - I've tried everything - my password for my verizon email, I created an 'app' password - nothing works to connect email
