CANNOT CONNECT USING SLL

One of the settings on the email account is Use SSL. Make sure that is turned off.

Don't know if it's the case with Verizon mail, but for Gmail, you have to go into Gmail settings and "enable POP and STMP mail."

For gmail, unless you wish to,operate in POP mode, that is not necessary. Although I could be mistaken, Verizon ONLY offers POP accounts. The iPad should pick that up easily on set up. Nor would it throw an SSL error.

What exactly IS POP mode?

Gmail accounts can be set up as either IMAP or POP. Each refers to the email protocol. POP is the older of the two and is typically a simple mail delivery with minimal interaction with the server. It pretty much sends the email to your client device and accepts outgoing for delivery processing. IMAP includes a synchronized folder structure and usually an email tagging/classification setup to allow for for flexible management of the the account through the client device. That's a bit of a simplistic description, but should give you an idea.

For anyone using the same account on multiple devices, IMAP is generally the preferred type.

Excellent. Thank you!
