I just spoke with a lady from Verizon since I have phone and internet from them.
She did say that Verizon will no longer be handling email and that AOL will be doing so. She said it was an automatic change and I didn't need to change my email address so I could keep [email protected]. I asked if I could still send from this email address and also receive emails from others if they use that email address and she said yes. She asked me if I received an email from Verizon stating the changes and I said no. She said they are sending them out to everyone so I should eventually get one. She also said if I sign into the webmail that a pop-up should come up and I would need to fill out a form to make the changes. I went to my webmail and no pop-up and I searched the page for something to click on to make changes but there was nothing at all so I'm not sure what to do but wait for an email because I think there are to be steps to do in the email to make changes. I'm not sure if it is automatic why to fill out a form and also I'm receiving emails from companies I subscribe to stating if you are a Verizon email user to change your email address because if automatic why change? Oh and she said if you use Verizon internet but change your email to a gmail account and I think yahoo, she said you could lose emails.

Either way I do not know for sure other than a guy contacted me last evening to tell me Verizon was going out of the email business. -----Original Message----- From: Gerald Levy Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2017 12:56 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] question regarding Verizon email service This is news to me. I am a Verizon DSL customer and have not received any notice of changes to email service. Gerald -----Original Message----- From: David Ferrin Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2017 12:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] question regarding Verizon email service I am getting questions from folks on Verizon about them changing something or doing away with their email servicing for private customers. I am not on that system so I have no personal information on this matter. If anybody out there does please let me know what if anything is going to change along with what the average person needs to do in order to continue receiving email.
