Thank you very much...now it works...I used all of the suggestions except disable cram-md5 which I already knew needed to be enabled...thank you so very much

being told by various people to read "The large thread Pegasus Mail and Verizon FIOS" has been done over and over to no avail...it would be awful nice for someone who uses VERIZON who is having NO PROBLEMS to please post what their settings are...what boxes they have checked and what they have typed in the other boxes...this would help a lot of people...thank you so very much

Fundamental ssl problems were addressed with the release of Pmail v4.70.

A more recent issue was the need to check "Do not use CRAM-MD5" in the SMTP Security tab.

Did you do that?

I had to change my username and password as Verizon was playing with me...I am Emerson Gallup...now papawana...yes I checked that box long ago after reading all of the Verizon posts...still not able to send out messages

I'm not a Verizon user but I offer the following:

Go to Tools | Internet options | General. Your email address should be there.

Go to Tools | Internet options | Sending . You hould see your Verizon SMTP definition.

It should be topmost (if there is more than one definition) and it should be enabled.

Highlight the definition and select Edit.

Under general you should have the name you have given the definition, e.g. Verizon, the server host name, smtp.verizon.net, the server port, 465 and the timeout, 180 or greater.

Under Security you should have checked Direct SSL and Enable finger print tracking.

Under SMTP Authentication use option 2 with your Verizon username and password.

Disable CRAM-MD5.

Go to Tools | Internet options | General and check "Create internet session logs". (Read the associated help files)

Temporarily disable your firewall and/or any AV programs you have running.

Send yourself an email.

If it fails close Pmail and navigate to your mailbox with Windows Explorer.

Find and open the TCP folder. You should see and SMTP log file that can be opened with a text editor. (Notepad)

Post the log here after deleting your username and password. Note that these might be in encoded form. Look for four lines of seemingly meaningless letters and numbers after Login.

X these out - we don't need them.
