I want to set up Windows Mail. What are the complete settings-ports, POP3, SMTP, etc.? Should "server authentication" be checked?
Thank you.
David
Pop3
incoming.verizon.net (incoming server)
outgoing.verizon.net (outgoing server)
username
password
"my server requires authorizaton" should be checked (not the one that says secure password authentication)
other than that all other settings should be left at their defaults.
spacedebris seems to have beat me to the punch.
For the sake of example, we are going to pretend that we are setting up fictional account "fakeacct@verizon.net" and the password for logging into that account in webmail is "fakepassword" - Again, this is a fictitious account for the sake of an example.The settings for using Verizon's servers would be:Incoming Server: incoming.verizon.netServer Requires Authentication: YesUsername: fakeacctPassword: fakepasswordRequires a Secure Connection (SSL): NoPort: 110Outgoing Server: outgoing.verizon.netServer Requires Authentication: Yes (You can set it to use the same settings as incoming, or manually enter the username and password.)Requires a Secure Connection (SSL): NoPort: 25 (although 587 also works.)These settings should work unless you have a Verizon/Yahoo account, in which case the server names are: incoming.yahoo.verizon.net -and- outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net
That doesn't work. This is the eror message that I get:
Account: 'Windows Mail', Server: 'incoming.verizon.net', Protocol: POP3, Server Response: '-ERR [AUTH] Authentication failed', Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Server Error: 0x800CCC90, Error Number: 0x800CCC92
I've tried incoming.yahoo.verizon.net as well as incoming.verizon.net. Neither one works. Likewise, I've tried outgoing.yahoo.verizon.net as well as outgoing.verizon.net. Neither one works. I've tried port 25 as well as port 587. Neither one works. When I try to logon, I enter my user name & password & the window pops up again!
Now what?

Looks like you may have an incorrect username/password. Verify your username/password by logging into verizon.net with it.
