Verizon FiOS → Windows Live Mail

And the Web e-mail works fine with the same e-mail address and password.

Dear Valued Verizon Customer,

To further improve security and your online experience, Verizon has modified the way Verizon.net email is handled when sent or received through an email application (such as Outlook Express®, MS Outlook, Windows Live Mail or via hand-held devices).
In order to take advantage of these improvements, we are requiring customers to modify the server settings (also known as “POP” settings) for their email applications on every device used to access Verizon.net email. Please update your POP email application’s inbound and outbound server settings as soon as possible to match the new settings below:
Server
Current Setting
New Setting
SSL Enabled
Port

POP3 Server
incoming.verizon.net
pop.verizon.net
YES
995

SMTP Server
outgoing.verizon.net
smtp.verizon.net
YES
465

Depending on your email application, you may need to disable/turn off Secure Password Authentication and, if applicable, make sure your Authentication method is set to “Password” or “Normal password.” In addition, you may need to reboot/restart your device for these new settings to take effect and for your email to continue working properly.

Note – There are no setting changes when accessing Verizon.net email via MyVerizon/webmail.

If you need assistance in updating your settings, visit verizon.com/emailsettings for further information and step-by-step instructions. You can also visit our online forum at forums.verizon.com for additional information, if available.

Thank you for being a valued Verizon customer. Please act now to make sure your email account has the proper settings.

Sincerely,

Your Verizon Team

Pepsiman I got that e-mail and changed the server settings and it didn't work at the time.Then I went back to the old settings in other words ,incoming.verizon.net,and outgoing.verizon.net and it was working again.
Not sure of the other settings,turning off Secure Password Authentification or port settings.
I've looked thru the Verizon forums and it gets confusing as to ports used and settings.Outgoing=port 465 ,incoming port 995.
I've seen several different port settings.
Why was it working last week?And now its not.What has changed on their side.I haven't messed with it till it stopped working last week.
I have no trouble with the Verizon Web mail client.Just that it times out after being left open after 10 mins or so.Is that normal?

Not sure whether this is your issue, but Microsoft has discontinued Hotmail, Live, etc, in favor of Outlook mail. You should have received emails telling you to convert. If you can still access the emails that tell you how to convert, use them to convert. If you didn't convert, you may need to contact Microsoft.

Not working.Let me put down here what my settings are.

Servers =
Imcoming(POP3)=pop.verizon.net
Outgoing(SMTP) =smtp.verizon.net

Incoming mail server
E-mail user name= ***47043
password =*********

have checked=Log on using clear text authentication

server port numbers
Outgoing mail(SMTP)= 465
Incoming mail(POP3) =995

have checked both for=this server requires secure connection(SSL)

I believe thats it

Your email user name has to have the @verizon.net to work I believe.
