SSL requirement for new email settings

[adamsro1]

The new instructions indicate that you need to set up the incoming and outgoing mail using SSL. While the changes worked, my virus software indicated that it is not able to check the mail for viruses and to disable SSL. So is SSL necessary and required by Verizon? I would like my virus software to do its job.

Ok.

I point you to a solved thread about that.
