PLEASE HELP!
I have never been able to send messages from the Mail application on my mac.
I have verizon internet, and verizon’s help section and customer service don’t help! I read on verizon’s FAQ that they require authentication’s from Entourage and other PC Email clients, but there are no instructions/tutorials for setting up the outgoing mail server when you have verizon internet and are using a macintosh and the Mail application. I have tried both outgoing.verizon.net and smtpout.verizon.net, both with and without authentication… nothing works! I can’t be the first mac user with verizon internet! please send an email to juliakostreva ….at…. yahoo …dot… com

MAIL > preferences > Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP) > click on Edit Server List.

Click on Advanced. Server port is 25 and SSL block is unchecked. Authentication is None. Click OK.

Next;

Click on Advanced. Port should be 110 and SSL is unchecked. Authentication should be set to Password.

These settings worked for me.

I’ve tried this and I cannot get mail to connect for me. Any tips?

I’ve had this problem and found that if I just allow the “checking connection” mode to time out and tell me that the specified smtp server cannot be found, I can then manually assign the correct one and it does not test for it. Also found that the port number can be adjusted for the smtp setting - switched mine to port 80 and it works fine now.
