I'd have to see those IP addresses. I can think of a rational explanation
for the general concept of a geolocator error. Assuming you used
geolocation, and not an ARIN Whois lookup.

Not very likely at all.

Ckeck Tools, Accounts, Propertys, Servers. The mail settings for Verizon are
incoming.verizon.net & outgoing.verizon.net. make sure it's set to pop 3.
Also, some 3rd party virus programs, (like Spy Sweeper) prevent mail to work.
In your virus protection go to shields & turn off the e-mail scanning. Hope
this helps.

Check Tools, Accounts, Property's, Servers. The mail setting's for Verizon is
incoming.verizon.net & outgoing.verizon.net. Also some 3rd party virus
prograams (like Spy Sweeper) can affect mail. Open your virus protection, go
to the shields settings & disable e-mail scanning. Hope this helps.
