Verizon Outgoing Mail Server Settings
If you access the internet using
Verizon, and host your domain email (YourName@YourDomain.com)
with NetCo Services, the following information will help you set
up your email account.
General Email Setup Information:
In all Mail setups, when you are
asked to enter the SMTP server (outgoing.verizon.net),
you will be asked via button or prompt whether your server requires
authentication. In this box click yes (check it off) and
a configuration box will appear. It will ask for:
Username: (verizon username. @verizon.net is not required)
Password: (verizon password)
Then it will have an option to
save password, which you may want to check off to eliminate repetitious
entering of this information.
If asked about secure password
authentication leave it blank.
Settings for Outlook Express and Outlook
Outlook Express:
- Open Outlook
- Go up to Tools
- Go down to Accounts
- When the box appears click on
the tab labeled Mail
- Double click on your email account
- Click on the tab labeled Servers
- In the bottom box that is labeled
SMTP, put in the server address outgoing.verizon.net
- Then below the box, put a check
in the box that says My Server Requires Authentication
- This will then highlight a button
to the right that is labeled Settings. Click on this.
- It will pop up another box.
Put a check in the box labeled Log on Using.
- Fill in your Verizon username
and password.
- Put a check in the box Save
password.
- Then click ok.
- Exit out of the rest of the
current windows and close Outlook Express.
- Reopen the program and you will
be ready to go.
Micrsoft Outlook:
- Click on Tools
- Click on Email Accounts
- Click on Change/View
existing accounts
- Double click the email account
- Bring up the primary screen
where all settings are shown.
- Right next to the outgoing server
settings you will see the option for authentication. Check it.
- Then modify the settings the
same as Outlook Express.
- Close out of the windows making
sure to save changes.
Troubleshooting:
In the past, Verizon has required
that on the General tab of Outlook Express, and the Personal
Settings tab of most other email clients, that in the Email
Address field (Note: not the Reply to Field) you place your
verizon email address (i.e. YourName@verizon.net).
It appears
that this is no longer required. But if you have done everything
according to the directions above and your mail is not working
for some reason, try filling in the Email Address field.
