iphone cannot send verizon.net email

I have had my iphone 3g for a while and the verizon.net account has worked. Today, ?I receive emails but cannot send them. I get the error message "Cannot Send Mail - the user name or password for abc@verizon.net is incorrect"

I have reviewed the account set-up, actually reset the iphone, deleted and reinstated the account.... Help!

Thanks!

user name = full email address

smtp = outgoing.verizon.net

Hello,

In this scenario, we have to change the port number to 587. Best of LUCK!!!

for that specific error, are you able to login at www.myverizon.com with the same user name and password?

Incoming settings:
POP Account Information:
Name: The name you want in the header when you send mail
Address: Your full email address-e.g., My.Address@verizon.net
Description: anything you want (This will be the name in the list of mail accounts)

Incoming Mail Server:
Host Name: incoming.verizon.net
User Name: the first part of your email address-e.g., My.Address
Password: Your password to Verizon netmail or your desktop mail client

Advanced:
Incoming Settings
Use SSL: Off
Authentication: Password
Delete from Server: your preference
Server Port:110

make sure you can log in at www.myverizon.com first.

I'm having the exact same problem and frankly, I'm tired of Verizon. I switched to FIOS from Comcast about one year ago and have not regretted a decision more, in the five decades I've been on this earth ! If it's not email on my computer and lack of compatibility with Outlook Express, it's my iPhone working fine one minute, then I can't send an email the next. In home agent is worthless and the chat sessions and even worse. The last guy I had took control over my computer and left me at the altar...I had to perform a system restore just to get it back to where it was when it started malfunctioning.

What a disaster.

Those are my settings exactly and the piece of "****" service doesn't work.

follow the instructions here, and change one setting.

outgoing port should be changed to 587.

This is almost always the port 587 issue ... I've posted walkthrus of the iPhone configuration for Verizon on a number of occasions which can be found via the search window. Here's one ....

Note that you need to know if you are using the native "Verizon" experience or the "Yahoo" one. The link takes you to the native experience configuration. If you need the Yahoo one, follow the link within my post on that thread.

I had the same problem. I found the following solution: on your Iphone go to "settings", "mail, contacts, calendars", then go to your primary Verizon account (or any account on your phone that is not receiving emails). When the screen for that comes up, go to "Advanced" at the bottom, then "Authentication". There should be a chckmark next to "Password". In my case this checkmark somehow was removed and caused the problem. If this is the case, hit "Password" and the checkmark will appear. Save the settings and close out of settings. When I did this, all my emails dumped into my inbox. Good luck.

I had the same problem today.

Here is what worked for me.

I deleted the account.

Added it again.

Shut down the iPad.

Did a test email to my VZ email.

I'm up and running again.

SUGGESTIONS:

MAKE SURE THAT YOU USE THE SAME USER NAME AND PASSWORD THAT YOU USE TO SIGN IN TO YOUR VZ ACCOUNT FROM OTHER COMPUTERS

DELETE ANY OLD EMAILS THAT ARE IN YOUR INBOX AT VZ OTHERWISE THEY WILL BE DOWNLOADED AGAIN TO YOUR iPad

Just off the phone with Verizon Tech. After upgrading from 4S to 6+ the reason I couldn't send emails was that the password needed to be put into two places. One for the out going mail and the other for the incoming mail. When your mail server asking you to put in the correct password it only updates the incoming password on the iphone and not the outgoing. Just go to >Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Verizon(what I called my mail account)>SMTP>smtp.verizon.net>Password and reenter your password

You would think the coder would have written code to do this for both incoming and outgoing servers; I get that some may use different passwords but I don't and serviously doubt anyone else would.

Hope this helps...

couldn't agree with you more !

Here is the latest set up for both my iPad 2 and Iphone 5 running iOs 8.1
