Are you sure that the SMTP for AOL is identical to the SMTP for
Verizon?
smtp.aol.com for AOL
smtp.verizon.net for Verizon
That what I get from Thunderbird's account setup wizard.
Exactly. We don't know what Frog is trying to do.
Thanks for helping this 83 yr old beginner level technician solve a
problem with his out-going mail situation. Here is what my Mail &
Newsgroup Account Settings > Server Settings are:
Verizon
Server type - POP Mail Server
Server Name: smpt.verizon.net Port:995 Default:995
User Name: My complete email address is listed here.
Security Settings
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method Normal password
AOL
Server type - POP Mail Server
Server Name: mail.aol.com Port:995 Default:995
User Name: My complete email address is listed here.
Security Settings
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication method Password transmitted insecurely
Please Note: Both settings have worked for a year, and the Verizon setup
suddenly stopped working.
Those are the settings for receiving mail from each account. Since
you're having trouble sending mail, you need to check the outgoing
(SMTP) settings. This has been quite a long thread, but I think I
recall somewhere that AOL and/or Verizon recently changed to requiring
the full email address as username? In that case, it may be that you've
changed the username for the incoming servers, but not for the outgoing
ones.
As I mentioned in a previous post, it's also possible that both accounts
are attempting to use the same outgoing server configuration, but that
they now should be using different usernames (even if the server address
is the same) corresponding to the different email addresses.
Only one SMTP server configuration will be default, so if both accounts
have been left set to use the default server, one of them might be
attempting to send mail using the other's address as the login. From
Edit > Mail & Newsgroup Account Settings:
- Select the AOL account in the left-hand panel and see what the
"Outgoing Server (SMTP)" is set to near the bottom of the dialog.
- Do the same for the Verizon account.
- Select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" in the left-hand panel and see which
servers you have configured.
If the AOL and Verizon accounts are both set to use the same server,
that may be the problem. If not, double-check the settings for both
servers:
- Are all the addresses, ports and authentication details correct?
- In particular, is the one used by the AOL account using the AOL email
address as the username, and the one used by the Verizon account using
the Verizon address as the username?
I don't have an account with either AOL or Verizon, so can't help with
specifics of the configuration for each, but I think others here have
mentioned the necessary settings which are working for them.
