Apparently Verizon pulled a switch last night that is killing P-Mail from
performing POP3 and SMTP.

The settings advised by Verizon and have been used successfully until last
night:

# Incoming mail server (POP3): incoming.verizon.net
# Incoming Server Port Numbers: 995
# Outgoing mail server (SMTP): outgoing.verizon.net
# Outgoing Server Port Numbers: 465
# Your Verizon Online user name
# Your Verizon Online password
# Make sure "This server requires a secure connection (SSL)" is checked.

I reverted to...
incoming.verizon.net:110 using "STLS command"
outgoing.verizon.net:25 using "STARTTLS"

And I am working again.

Apparently the Pegasus Forum has other users in the same boat. I posted
this AM but I got the dredded "moderator approval" and that post hasn't been
approved yet. However, I was able to reply to another's post on the same
problem.

This looks to have been rectified.

I got another Vz email about using 995/SSL and 465/SSL so I reapplied the
settings.

I have been sending and receiving email as expected for a couple of days
now.
