Verizon/Yahoo Email no longer working

[btucker1]

Has anyone else had issues accesing email once logged into Verizon Yahoo mail? Support had me reset password, try different browsers... PFFT neither the pop incoming setting of the phone or Microsoft Outlook can connect. The second person told me ohh I do see a simlar case that was ctreated 2 days ago no solution no known resolution. The email portal is provided by Verizon and expect Verizon to correct it.

Please port if similar problems have been observed

Just started having problems today (10 Feb) on my Android device using the Android mail app. I can send mail but can't connect to the server to retrieve mail. Webmail works fine. I am in the PA-NJ-DE area. Have had intermittent errors in the past.

Verizon has instructions on how to manually set up your Android email and they don't match my device. Every android implementation is a little different.

I think I just can't log on to the server. At some point maybe Verizon will admit there's an issue.

Also I am concerned about this transition to AOL but right now that appears to be limited to certain states.

Folks just letting you know that this issue has also been occuring from outlook.com connecting to verizon pop3 and smtp server.

I just contacted support and they stated the issue was:

 I see that there is an outage affecting the email pop clients in all the states due to server maintenance, the outage is leading to an error saying "The username/password are not authenticating"

 Verizon has confirmed reports about an issue with the Verizon network and is investigating the same. We would request you to wait for us to sort this out. The inconvenience is regretted.
The developers are looking into the issue and would be fixed within 24-48 hours.

That's great that Verizon is assisting btucker but what about the rest of us? Is there a general problem? Or should I ask if Verizon admits that there is a general problem?

To repeat,  I have been accessing my verizon.net email on an android device successfully up until two days ago. It keeps telling me my password is not valid. Many others seem to be reporting the same issue.

Is this somehow related to the migration to AOL?

Webmail still works fine.

Hi doubois,

This is an account-specific issue which we have escalated.  Please let us know if you are also using a Verizon/Yahoo email account and have received a similar account alert to which you are unable to respond.

I am now able to setup my Outlook.com to "send and receive" from my Verizon POP mail but it returns an error stating "There was a problem getting messages from your other accounts". Outlook.com does not retrieve my Verizon POP mail.

When will this be fixed and why did this happen?
