I dont know what to say, I'm not sure rather to feel extremely dumb or just plain dumbfounded but your settings worked. I know for a fact that I tried that a couple times over the past few days and I never received any mail until just a few minutes ago when I tried your settings once more. Honestly no idea why it didnt work before or why it is working now or how, but I can say this...over the course of writing this thread and receiving your reply, I did an internet search for error 0x80048830 which is the error I was getting when attempting to "receive" verizon mail on the Windows 10 mail app. Let me tell you, there were multiple different opinions and solutions listed and I tried them all from turning windows firewall completely off to adding rules and extensions to running windows powershell. Windows 10 mail would always say "please wait while we fetch your mail" for about 5 minutes with nothing ever showing up before it showed "nothing has shown up yet". When I tried right clicking the verizon mail account, the advanced option was greyed out and still showed "syncing your mail" but after about 10 minutes I would be able to get back into advanced options and no new mail ever showed up.

Honestly I have no idea or clue what happened or if anything I did fixed it, all i know is after I did all that and spent 3 days almost completely reprogramming the windows mail app; I deleted the verizon account for the 15th time and added your settings with IMAP4 protocol and poof I started receiving mail and can still send mail fine too. Super glad you were able to help and super glad it is fixed.....just wish I knew what happened and how. Thanx again Br0die

What really gets confusing for me in Windows is all the different places you can have settings. In mail you can set things in SETTINGS accounts and SETTINGS in App Mail and Calendar and then in the mail app itself in settings.

Has anyone gotten this working? I was at a clients today and tried to set up her verizon.net account up in both Windows 10 Mail app and Outlook on a brand new machine. Neither could get the email working. I tried both IMAP and POP, all SSL settings on and off.. seriously tried everything under the sun and nothing worked. Any progress made on this?

Did you read post 2 and 3 in this thread? That's two people that have it working.

Sure did. tried everything I could find in 10 different threads to no avail. Info was pretty scarce here, so I was hoping you would reply back with some screenshots or more info.

This is from the email accounts section of mail.

And is this a verizon account or an AOL account? Also, if either.. is there anything you changed inside the AOL account, setting wise via webmail? Cause I tried this about 20 times in both outlook and Mail.

imap.aol.com, pop.aol.com, imap.verizon.com, pop.verizon.com & smtp.aol.com / smtp.verizon.com all with :993:1 and :465:1 ports added and removed. SSL checked and unchecked. SSL/TLS, StarTLS & None in Outlook all tried as well. Turned off two factor auth in AOL settings.. Either mail app would say refreshing but with zero activity or would error out. Outlook would always error out no matter what settings I used.

username@verizon.com & password worked perfectly via webmail.

I was able to add clients gmail to Mail with zero issues.
