Thank you for y our valuable input. Unfortunately Verizon can't seem to figure out what they need. Not only that but my inccoming mail to Pegasus is coming non stop. Same messages over  and over and overagian. I have had over 2000 alreadyy this morning. RCN says the only thing they can do is to stop the forwarding to Verizon and have me get webmail each time. any ideas on this. Sometimes saving a few dollars comes back to bite one in the butt!1

And stopping the forwarding from RCN to Verizon didnt stop the multiple non stop emails to Pegasus. Still they go on. Maybe I just have to ditch Pegasus

Yesterday I switched from RCN internet provider to Verizon Fios. Now can not receive mail . I have inputted all the new data but keep getting a message #15 stating that"Peer connect failure. (the host refuses the connection). Verizon techs have spent 11/2 hours without being able to trouble shoot since they don't support ( nor have they ever heard of) Pegasus mail. Verizon needs some kind of authentication but I don't know where to find this on the Pegasus network configuration. Can anyone help? I am desperate!

It does not matter what mail clients they do or do not support.  They should have been very specific about the server, ports and types of authentication required.  PMail can do both SSL and STARTTLS types of authentication but these are handled in different ways.  Checkout the options in Tools | Internet Options for both POP3 and SMTP by editing the setup and selecting the "Security" tab.  Again, ask the people at Verizon exactly what they require.

FWIW, when I tried telnetting into incoming.verizon.net to port 110 it looked like a normal non-ssl server.  Since I did not have a Verizon account of course it rejected my connection.
