Their setup instructions on the web were WRONG (I told the call center guy that, step by step, which ones were wrong).

SNIP

I just sent two emails to my work address and got them both.
And downloaded headers from my POP3 inbox.

Ed - this thread came up when I did a Google search for Bellsouth Verizon email setup. I have done this search different ways in the past and tried a thousand found suggestions for setting up my email. At one time, I was able to receive mail but not send. THANKS TO YOU I can now do both. I joined this site so I could come back and thank you for solving this mystery back in 2009! THANK YOU! Now if I could just find the 8g SD card that fell out of the phone when I was removing the back to do the factory reset (to get rid of a pesky low memory message) which is why I was having to reset all my email accounts & what brought me here. AGAIN, MANY THANKS!!!
