As reported last May, the Verizon email user transition to AOL continues, with Verizon now announcing that they have decided to "close down our email business."
Existing verizon.net email users have two options:
- Continue to use their verizon.net email address, but it will be hosted by AOL Mail.
- Give up their verizon.net email address and find a new email/webmail provider.
Update: Laura Atkins of Word to the Wise rightly points out that there's no timeline or deadline published anywhere in this Verizon notice. When exactly will Verizon shut it all down? We shall see.
June 26, 2017 Update: As related to me and others by AOL, the Verizon mailboxes that remain have now been transitioned to AOL's mail servers.
