Verizon Internet Service Email changes

[iEd]

I use Verizon as my ISP and recently received a notification via email of changes to their email settings. They have a set up guide on their site or you can manually change the settings. For iOS devices going to settings>mail contacts and calendars and selecting your Verizon mail account will get you to the settings that need to be changed.
I found that changing the settings manually doesn't work but deleting your Verizon account and adding it again does and the correct settings will be there. I think anyone setting up a iOS device as new in the last month and adding a Verizon email shouldn't have to worry about this. The settings on a Mac would have to be changed also. I would try the same thing. Deleting and adding the account.

Thanks for the tip, I'm sure this will help some folks!

This is for people who use Verizon Communications as an Internet Service provider... as opposed to Verizon Wireless as a cellular provider... Verizon Wireless as a cellular provider doesn't provide its own email services...

Yes. Just Verizon as a ISP and using a Verizon email account. The settings on my iPad 2 were already changed because I restored it as new and not from a backup sometime in mid October and added the Verizon account. The settings on my iPhone were not changed because I restored from my old 4s backup in September.

What changes did they make? Did they change to imap from pop? That would be a worthwhile change.
I have FIOS so I do have email through Verizon but I haven't gotten any email from them. But I also have all my Verizon email forwarded to gmail since gmail has a much better spam filter and that's about all my Verizon account gets these days.

These are the changes.
