How do I use Outlook Express with Verizon?

Question

I recently signed up to Verizon DSL. How do I get my emails using Outlook Express. I am also on Cox cable which I receive my Cox emails using Outlook Express but I might cancel Cox later. I'm able to read/send emails on the Verizon email website but I like the way Outlook Express is set up better. I don't know what my pop server is or how to find it. I rather do this on my own instead of calling a Verizon tech. Any help is appreciated!

Before trying any of these suggestions, I want to say that I'd like to get BOTH Cox and Verizon at same time in Outlook Express. Not only Verizon.

Answer 1

I'm on Verizon also and use Outlook Express.

My best recommendation is to call Verizon Support at
1-800-567-6789 and make sure you as for "tech support". Just tell them you want to use Outlook Express and not the "Yahoo" email utility. They can even "share your screen" remotely and set it up with you. Give it a shot.

What I did after it was all set up, was to go through and take a screen shot and print it of each of the set up windows. That way if I have a problem, I can just redo the setup myself.

They are great at the Customer Support thing, give them a shot.

Hope this helps.

try n follow these
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.

Answer 3

Contact verizon - you will need their incoming and outgoing server names before you will be able to set up outlook.

You might try looking on their website - but their techs will usually walk you right through setting it up. You are paying for it - use their tech!

Answer 4

Incoming POP3: incoming.verizon.net
Outgoing: outgoing.verizon.net
No authentication

To create an account, goto Tools > Accounts > add button > Mail
