Funny thing is that I have another account running on the same MS Outlook 2007 and that has the old server settings and is working just fine. All server tests fail and I am not able to send or receive email using Outlook 2007 regardless of what the settings are (new or previous).

As of this time I am relegated to using web mail:-( Any suggestions or advice is appreciated!Ĭlarksburg wrote: I too have the same issues using MS Outlook 2007 except that I changed all the setting to update the servers according to Verizon’s instructions and it still does not allow me to send or receive email. The tech I spoke to did not offer that as a solution, perhaps he was unaware. I recall seeing a post on another blog where the user had Verizon recreate his email account for him and that resolved the issue.
So I tried my account on Outlook 2010, same results. Verizon tech support was unable to help me and told me that Outlook 2007 was not compatible with the new server settings. The issue as I understand it from Verizon tech support is that Verizon is moving email addresses to the new severs (25,000 at a time I think they told me) and once it's moved, it may or may not work again.

I have no idea why one account worked with incoming and outgoing while the other failed but I do know all my Outlook accounts are now in FULL compliance with ALL changes specified by Verizon in the following link. I have now changed the server settings in all accounts to pop and smtp and all is well. The solution after trying many things I finally got her account to work by changing her account server settings from incoming to pop and outgoing to smtp as specified by Verizon a while back (my bad for missing that step I guess). I was baffled, two accounts with the same settings using the same Outlook software, one worked, one did not. I suspected an Outlook password storage issue but when I set her account up as a new account on my laptop and got the same failure I knew it was not computer specific so could not be an Outlook issue. I used her password to log in to her Verizon account so I knew it was not a Verizon password issue. When I tested my account with EXACTLY the same Verizon settings it worked just fine. I found it was a failing to connect to the server. Life was good until two days ago when my wife told me her Outlook email account kept failing.
I made her email account the default and disabled mine from the Send/Receive function but I left it there, just in case.Īs the home system administrator I had made the Verizon requested account changes to the ports and SSL settings a few months ago. As my wife stated to use the computer more frequently to insure peace and harmony I purchased a laptop so this is now the computer only my wife uses. Several years ago I had set up our jointly used computer via Outlook 2007 with two separate Verizon email accounts, one for me, one for my wife.
