Verizon outgoing mail server

[AdamD81]

Trying to set up my email. I've always used web based email but now have service through road runner and would like to set it up on my phone!

Trying to figure out what to set my outgoing mail server as. i can receive mail fine, but cant figure out the outgoing server with Verizon.

Thanks in advance!

bad news gotta use different smtp

could use web based smtp if you type the settings in during setup

Outgoing mail server = outgoing.verizon.net needs to go on port 587.

I'm confused - if the email account you are trying to access is on rr.com, Verizon's servers should have nothing to do with anything. With my Verizon TP2 I access my Comcast email via POP of mail.comcast.net and outgoing of smtp.comcast.net. Use whatever the email client on your home PC uses.

Road runner doesn't allow you to use their outgoing mail servers off thier network. Other ISP's like comcast let you "remotely" authenticate/use their mail servers.

I personally just type in my gmail smtp settings when i cant get some landlines to work. its just outgoing settings so not alot of people notice the difference.

if you keep searching you might find a solution. I have charter, and like roadrunner, they don't allow smtp access off their network. after much searching I found a working smtp server with them though.

You can use your rr.com account to send mail. Delete the account first. When you set it up do it manual then, put in your email address > your Name & the account name. (this will display what ever you named it) > Next Incoming Mail Server & Account type. This is a POP3 Next > User Name & Password check save password Next > Now here is the trick Put in the Outgoing SMTP Mail Server for example : smtp-server.nycap.rr.com:587 this is for New York and 587 is the port. Now Check the box for server requires authentication & chekcthe box for Use the same user name and password for sending e-mai and wham! you can send mail from your phone. This will work cause I do this for a living. Try it!
