Has anyone on this list using SM successfully set up the e-mail portion
of SM with Verizon FiOS?
As I read Verizon's instructions, they specify:
Server settings:
Server Type: POP Mail Server
Server Name: pop.verizon.net Port: 995 Default 995
User Name: just your name(leave off @verizon.net)
Security Settings
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal Password
Outgoing Server(SMTP) settings:
Description: Verizon
Server Name: smtp.verizon.net
Port: 465
User name: just your name(leave off @verizon.net)
Authentication method: Normal password
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Having followed these instructions (and I have five other e-mail
accounts already working well with my SM v.2.30 installation), every
time I try to log in to my new FiOS e-mail account I get an
authentication error and can't log into the account.
The settings you describe work fine for me. They're not as secure as
they might be (other possibilities might also exist), but they do work.
To check whether I was using the right user name and password, I logged
into Verizon's webmail and have been repeatedly successful with what I
understand to be my correct user name and password in pulling up my FiOS
e-mail account via Verizon webmail.
Might anyone have any ideas on what might be blocking the authentication
process when I enter my FiOS password? I'm baffled.
I can only think that you've entered the password incorrectly in SM. Try
this:
Tools | Password Manager | Manage Stored Passwords
Scroll down to "verizon.net" and select it, you should see two entries
on the right:
mailbox://mail.verizon.net (mailbox://mail.verizon.net)
smtp://smtp.verizon.net (smtp://smtp.verizon.net)
Click the button at bottom right, "Show Passwords" and examine them with
a fine-tooth comb. Remember, they're case-sensitive.
If worse comes to worst, do the same thing on a working system and
compare them side-by-side.
If one or both passwords proves to be wrong, just delete that entry. The
next time you try to send a message (SMTP) or get messages (POP), you'll
be prompted for the password, and you can enter it.
If you like, on a working system, open a Notepad window. Then for each
of the entries in Password Manager, right-click and choose "Copy
password" and paste it into the text file. Save onto a USB stick or
something and walk it across to the trouble system, where you can
copy/paste it into SeaMonkey's dialog when it prompts you for the
password. Be sure to delete the file when done.
