VERIZON YAHOO

[STACEY]

I JUST SWITCHED TO VERIZON'S FIOS TV AND INTERNET. AFTER DOWNLOADEING THE
VERIZON YAHOO PROGRAM OUTLOOK STOPPED WORKING. I CAN RECEIVE EMAILS BUT
CANNOT SEND ANYTHING. I GET A MESSAGE THAT IT CAN NOT CONNECT TO THE SERVER
FOR OUT GOING MESSAGES OR THE CONNECTION FAILED. I GET AN ERROR CODE THST
READS OX800CCCOF. CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH THIS PROBLEM

Open Outlook. I have Outlook 2003. Go to tools. Open tools. Go to e-mail
accounts, and click change. On the next page which will come up for E-mail
settings click near the bottom of the page more settings. On the menu click
outgoing settings. Check my outgoing server requires authentication. Then
check log on and fill in your Verizon user name and password.
I had the same problem you are describing, and the above got outlook to
connect to the Verizon e-mail server and send my outgoing e-mails. Prior to
Verizon FIOS I had Optimum on line. Verizon has a crappie news server,
Ifound thundernews.com had the cheapest news server Usenet service with a
20% discount to Verizon and a few other providers customers.

First of all, please don't type in ALL CAPS. It's hard to read and it
looks like you're shouting.

That said, did the Verizon FIOS thing install a firewall perhaps? Is
your e-mail account a Yahoo! account or Verizon.com account or who?
