Verizon email server does not respond

[donkell358]

This evening (3/30/2013 7PM) none of my 3 MAC computers can access our verizon email accounts. I had reset to latest settings last week. Web mail works. Is there a system wide mail server problem?

Same problem here...

mac mail reports.... The server returned the error: The connection to the server “pop.verizon.net” on port 995 timed out.

All settings have been updated as per verizon email account changes.

Thx

Same here.  One of my verizon.net email addresses on Outlook keeps asking to Enter Network Password.  Tried signing in through the Webmail and it says it timed out.  All other email addresses are working.  Definitely a Verizon issue.

Cannont access email from the Verizon.net site either.  I don't believe it's a Mac problem but a verizon problem.

Same problem here using Thunderbird on a PC. Clearly a Verizon problem - has anyone contacted them yet?

Dear Friends,

Rang support - they indicated they were aware of the problem, no estimated restore time.

My first attempt at trying chat was a masterpiece of tech support comedy, by the way.  

"If you know the server is not authenticating, what information do you need?"

Never ceases to amaze.

Peace,

M

Can't check from My Verizon page, evrything else works. The error message i get is

{"res":{},"error":{"code":"3002","msg":"3002"}}

As of right now (8:12 pm CDT) mine is working again.

Regarding the comment about what tech support said, it seems to me it is a very reasonable question back to you; if your email used to work and you haven't changed your definitions, and right now it doesn't work, what info do you need? Do you expect the rep to somehow magically fix the problem? It seems to me, if it isn't working then it isn't working, really simple, just go do something else for a while and try again later. Has worked for me.....

Just curious, what did your wife (or you) expect the tech support rep to do to fix it?

I, too, am having the same issues.  Tried the new settings early last week with no success.  Tried them again this morning, again with no success.  I use both the Mail program on our MAC and wife's Macbook, and Outlook on my laptop.  Neither program will talk to the server with the new settings, so am still using the "old" ones successfully.

I'm in MD.

From your screen name I thought you were a doctor and since I am having some pain today I was going to ask you about it....

Seriously, the new settings do work. I and plenty of others have been using them successfully now for weeks. So I think you are missing something in your definitions. Unfortunately, unless you post the settings you are trying to use, and describe the specific environment(s) you have (PC type, OS, mail client, etc.), I doubt that anybody can help you.

Presumably at some point Verizon will shut off access to email using the old settings. I have no clue when they will do so, but when they do, I suggest you would be better off being prepared with new settings that you know work, or already using the new settings. Better a little pain now on your schedule than possibly major pain later on Verizon's schedule......

If you will provide details hopefully someone here can help.
