Yesterday I had the experience of setting up a Verizon email account on a mac using Apple’s default client Mail. Verizon’s online instructions were extremely vague and were geared towards windows users. Their only help topic relating to OS X was for Outlook 5 & 6. I was experiencing problems sending email, not receiving email. To get it working set the incoming server to:
incoming.verizon.net
Set up your login as username@verizon.net and enter your password.
For outgoing use:
outgoing.verizon.net
In the advanced tab make sure SSL is not checked and change authentication to “password”.
I like the new gallery in wordpress 2.5+. Unfortunately, it has never worked out well for me as most of my uploads are greater than 2 mb. After spending a long time trying to get Wordpress to cooperate with my php.ini file, I finally found the solution.
1) Changing a few settings in the php.ini file: post_max_size = 100M
and upload_max_filesize = 100M
2) Upload them to your server (in my case Bluehost).
3) (Crucial Step here)Copy them to the wp-admin directory of your wordpress install.
In other words, this post reflects that I’m an idiot.
