P.S. I want everyone who has provided help to me in this situation to
know how much I appreciate your efforts. Your individual
contributions have meant more to me than you can ever know.
As one who has been a Verizon user before the AOL takeover here's my
one cent
I believe at the takeover time all accounts were to go to
u...@aol.com unless you decided to stay with u...@verizon.net amd IF
you changed to the AOL account you could never go back to your
Verizon.net. That's why I'm still u...@verizon.net

I also retained my u...@verizon.net address.
All was working without any problems on my computer (SeaMonkey
software) until very recently. I'm not sure if my computer was the
cause of my problems or whether Verizon or AOL had a hand in causing
my problems...whatever the cause, I now have a work around that
involves three software packages (Thunderbird, AOL, and SeaMonkey) to
do what I was doing on SeaMonkey alone. Any settings in your account
or profile (that you are willing to share with me) may help me to
return to some sanity on my computer. No, I am not seeking any
personal information, such as usernames or passwords, in my seeking
help.
Please note that I had a 6.5 hour virus/malware scan of my computer
and no problems were found. I then got in touch with my virus scan
people for help and they had me send the results of my scan to them
for further review...the review did not turn up any problems. Thus,
I don't think the problem that put me in this mess was my
computer...I believe it had something to do with either Verizon or AOL.
It was good to hear from you and thanks for letting me know that I
was not alone when I made the decision to keep my Verizon email address.
Frog
See attached for POP and SMTP settings that I am using. Just replace
"user" with your Verizon user ID. (no quotes).

Thanks Mr. ED for the settings you sent my way. I had only one change
to make to my settings...
SNPT...Server Name was smtp.aol.com vs smpt.verizon.net
After making the fix, I then attempted to check my mail and I received
an error message as follows:
Error with account usern...@verizon.net
The account usern...@verizon.net is being processed. Please wait until
processing is complete to get messages.
OK
This message never goes away until I click OK. No messages appear in my
inbox
Do you have any thoughts error message?
Frog
smtp.verizon.net is the server name for sending mail.
pop.verizon.net is the server for receiving mail.
I just setup my Verizon account in SeaMonkey 2.52.2.
Once I entered the email address, server name (pop.verizon.net) and port
number (995) I had to open the accounts settings and change the accounts
security settings.
Connection security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method: Normal password.
Then I attempted to get messages, was asked for my password, entered it
into the dialog window, clicked "Next" and received my emails.
Hope that helps.
