Setting up Verizon Email in Apple Mail

Posted by Andrew in Computers.

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”.

If you need more help, feel free to comment.
