Using E-Mail With Vzaccess - Verizon Wireless V640 User Manual

Using E-mail with VZAccess

POP3 E-mail
You can use BroadbandAccess or NationalAccess to access your POP3 e-mail account if your e-mail provider allows
access through other providers (many do). If your provider restricts access to their outgoing mail server you will get
an error message similar to the one below if you are attempting to send mail.
Most send mail servers are not accessible from various connections to the Internet. You usually have to be
connected to the e-mail provider's network to access their mail server and most e-mail providers require
authentication (a user name and password). The reason everyone has had to resort to this is that without these
measures, anyone can use a send mail server to send massive amounts of unwanted junk e-mail. If you are having
trouble sending e-mail - this also includes replying and forwarding, and you are getting an error message similar to
that shown above, then your send mail server can not be accessed from the Verizon Wireless network.
For customers in this situation, Verizon Wireless has made available a send mail server that you can use in place of
the one you normally use. All that is required is that you have a TXT messaging capable Verizon Wireless device and
TXT messaging service, visit www.vtext.com and establish a profile there by selecting "Join Up" and completing the
form. You will be asked to enter your 10 digit mobile number. A TXT message will be sent to your device and will be
used to establish your password. Most Verizon Wireless Express Cards can receive TXT messages. If you have a
Express Card that is not capable of receiving TXT messages and you have a Verizon Wireless phone that is, you can
use it to establish a profile on www.vtext.com as described above.
To use the Verizon Wireless Send Mail Server, you will edit your existing Mail account settings and change the
outgoing mail server you are currently using. In place of your existing Send Mail Server, enter smtp.vzwmail.net,
select "My server requires authentication" and using the 10 digit mobile number you used to establish your profile on
www.vtext.com, enter the 10 digit mobile number@vzwmail.net (i.e. 6145551212@vzwmail.net) for the Send Mail
Server user name. For the password, use the password you established for www.vtext.com. You will also be able to
use this server when connected to the Internet from various providers eliminating the need to change this setting
when you switch from being connected to the Internet through Verizon Wireless and by various other means. If you
need to know where these settings normally are in your e-mail client, check with your e-mail provider. For your
convenience the settings for Outlook Express® are as follows:
Step 1: Select "Tools," "Accounts."
Step 2: Select your default account, then "Properties."
