I'm running Outlook Version 2002 (Build 12527.20278 Click to run).

I have a Verizon e-Mail account that I had for more than 15 years and recently it stopped working. I deleted the existing account in Outlook based upon the assumption that I could create a re-create account.

When I attempted to create a New account I was unable to manually enter the servers, ports, etc. Using the Advanced options (Let me set up my account manually) and clicking on the Connect button, and selecting either POP or IMAP, entering the password and clicking on the Connect button. A window asking me to re-enter the password id displayed.

The incoming server "pop.mail.yahoo.com" is incorrect. The correct incoming server is "pop.verizon.net." I cannot edit the Server. The something went wrong window pops up before I can make a selection MS Outlook closes and restarts. The new e-Mail account was not created. If the new e-Mail does not exist I cannot access the "Server Settings" for an e-Mail account that does not exist in Outlook.

How can I setup the @verizon.net e-Mail account in Outlook that requires the manual setup of the servers, ports, etc.


PS: Another problem I noticed when trying to solve this problem is that the default e-Mail account cannot be changed.

Thanks for your help.
