Setting Up Pop Email On Outlook 2011 Full Name And

Incoming Server - pop.verizon.net - port 995. Use SSL to connect was checked.

Everywhere I look for assistance, including Microsoft, Apple and Verizon, no one has found anything wrong other than Microsoft suspects that Verizons server doesnt like too many logins and passwords in a set period of time.

Apparently, every email that is sent, sends a User Name and Password to Verizons server.

Furthermore, I cannot find any Verizon support for Outlook 2011 for the MAC Once again this is intermittent such as 4 messages will go and then the 5th will not.

Im not sure that MSs theory is fully correct because sometimes I get the send failures on the first message sent.

Error Code: 3170.

After talking to a Verizon FIOS technician from thier techinical support center, he said that no changes are needed for Outlook for Mac.

That means the settings should be: Incoming server: incoming.verizon.net Incoming port: 110 Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED Outgoing server: outgoing.verizon.net Outgoing port: 25 Use SSL to connect: UNCHECKED Hope that helps others not waste an hour searching Verizons website and trying to navigate their massive phone tree to actually speak to a technician.

The network doesnt magically recognize Macs and let them use the old ports.

They are actively retiring the old servers that support the old settings.

If you dont work on getting the correct new settings to work you will be caught when that happens.

Post all your settings except confidential info such as userid and password, so that some peer here can make suggestions.

Also post the complete error message (masking any confidential info) Yes, most users here with Outlook 2011 for MAC have it working.

I get a connection timed out error message after approx 90 seconds of trying to send.

I use Thunderbird as the mail client and it uses the same settings as Outlook for the servers.

Does anyone know of a place where we can find out the status of the Verizon smtp servers SMTP server is set for smtp.verizon.net, port 465, SSLTLS and normal password.

For my area it currently says somethings is wrong, but doesnt say what.

Possibly not local to me as I see nothing wrong, and my email is working fine (Thunderbird, outlook express, and iPhone 5s).

I can send email through an ATT SMTP, but the Verizon SMTP server continues to time out.

EDIT at 10:44 EST I see from other posts addressing the smtp outage that at least one user has spoken with Support and was told the servers would be out until 1000 EST tomorrow (Sunday 152014).
