Verizon wireless gmail setup

I was able to add AOL to my phone. Very confusing, I had a headache trying to fix it. Settings must of been changed. July 27 all but 2 of Mail accounts through Verizon went down on my Mac desktop. Port settings, SMTP, etc. But only 2 work. I use Thunderbird on a very old iMac and it abruptly stopped retrieving email for my verizon. I was still able to receive email by logging onto the AOL website — Thunderbird just kept asking for the password and saying access was unauthorized. I followed the instructions for Thunderbird, copied the 16 letter password, went back to the account in Thunderbird and input the password when it asked for it and I was finally able to receive emails.

Last week, my Verizon email stopped loading on my Samsung cellphone and my Samsung tablet. It does work on my laptop. Tried uninstalling and reinstalling. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks to Derek and Alan for the very useful data above. I finally got my verizon email working again on my Desktop Outlook and on my Android mail. Once that worked, I went and changed that screen back to what it was previously.

It worked. I had previously put my normal PW for that email setup in the earlier screens. What a pain though. Not much help from AOL. I generated the app password in Yahoo mail and entered that as the password when re-creating my email account.

Worked fine. Thank you Derek! If anyone wants some more help with this issue, the previous comments DID work for me. I had that nonsense where my MSOutlook stopped sending and receiving emails out of the blue around August 4th, but the AOL web-based emails were not affected and still was able to send and receive.

After digging into my verizon. I found this thread and it did help, but with some changes. I only have one email account, so by default, it was the only one. Click Finish, then close I think. Nothing ticks me off more than software that just stops working through no fault of the user. Like someone said above, there should have been a prompt or a warning from AOL saying that these changes are going to have to be made soon for you to continue to use Outlook or whatever 3rd party email software that you are using.

The AOL 3rd party app 16 digit password fix works. However, you need a unique password for each instance of that email app — i. Each different app phone app? This will be different from a browser login PW that you can generate and control. AOL is slowly implementing this 3rd party app PW requirement across email addresses.

So you might have one address that stops working and another that still works. You apparently cannot preemptively fix addresses until AOL sets up that address for a registered PW requirement.

Click Finish, then Close I think. I think the confusing piece is that now we have two different passwords — one for logging into the AOL webmail app and a second password for third party apps like Outlook and MacMail. It used to be that you used the webmail password for your third party app — so, just one password. I hope the following helps answer some of the questions above. Paste it somewhere so you can save it to put into your other devices if you have more than one to update you will notice, despite its appearance, in my case at least, the password is all lowercase and it has no spaces — this is important, since I entered it manually into my other devices.

If you need to add the xxx verizon. I had to do this with Outlook on my Mac because I deleted my account in my efforts to correct the problem. I would mention, though, that when I put my xxx verizon. This will bring up a menu where you can enter all the server information as well as your new app-generated password.

This brings up the menu where you can enter all of the server settings. It appears to be happening to people on a rolling basis. I lost my verizon. Thanks for all the help above!! It appears that email systems are pushing two-factor authentication these days.

You almost automatically accept it without paying much attention to how it is established for the sites you use and what it means with your email software. In this case, with Outlook, it starts immediately for that account. The trick is then finding where to enter the APP password …. Any description is cryptic. But if you made it here, you will fix it!! I did after a week of futzing since blindly accepting two-factor authentication on one email address originally Verizon, but not retrieved via AOL.

Everyone having password problems should learn to read. Works fine and you have to generate a new password for every mail program you use if you use more than one. After dealing with this off and on for 2 months, finally found this thread to read. Could not find information on Verizon site, aol site or Microsoft site that addressed the NEW need for a separate password for authentication using outlook and the aol mail server. Did you mean:.
