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.
Good idea. I deleted all Verizon listings in Password Manager logged out of
SeaMonkey and rebooted the PC. When I next tried to log into my new Verizon
e-mail account, it again failed with the usual authentication failure message.
