Important Information about Email Service Notice

Why is Verizon leaving the email business?

We have decided to close down our email business. Over the years we’ve realized that there are more capable email platforms out there. As a result, we’ve made a decision to get out of the email business, which will allow us to focus our energies in providing you with the best in Internet and TV experiences.

What will happen if I decide to take no action?

You will no longer be able to send or receive email using your verizon.net email address. In addition, you will lose your current contacts, calendar(s) and email. Also, after 180 days of inactivity we will delete the account. Doing so helps us reduce our server storage needs and electrical consumption. If you want to keep your verizon.net email address, follow the steps in the Keep verizon.net email address articles.

Telling longtime customers they have less 4 weeks to back up and migrate all their email is inconceivable. If Verizon cared about its clients they would have given much more lead time with a longer period of adjustment. Verizon has proudly boasted about how much it thinks of its loyal customers but their rate hikes are announced in very fine print embedded in long paragraphs about other things on the 10th page of phone bills (who reads that stuff?). What they really value is not service but profits. Service is a thing of the past. Good luck to we, their longtime customers!

the purchasing company shouldn't inconvenience it's loyal customers by discontinuing a service they and we all rely on. At the VERY LEAST vz should ease a transition to a new email service. Incompetent leadership strikes again.
