And no, you can't head over to - it died off about 15 years ago. You'd need to manually move your messages, contacts and calendar/s. Use any other email provider, such as or Gmail. Just for kicks, I opened an AOL Mail account, but not with my old Verizon address. You'd get to retail your email, contacts and calendar/s automatically. You can actually keep your address, though it would be handled from now on via AOL Mail (just one of many things Verizon got via its $4.4B AOL buyout). If you're an active user, or not, here are your options: VERIZON.NET MAIL OPTION 1 I personally spotted nearly a dozen messages from contacts using addresses in my inbox over the past couple of weeks. Verizon controls 4.5 email accounts, and figures about 2.3 million of them are active - as in, they have been used in the past 30 days. However, plenty of others do rely on their email accounts and have had them for ages. Verizon is giving me a cut-off date of April 19. I actually never use my Verizon email, so hadn't been checking messages and really don't care if mine dies off. I haven’t loaded new software or made other changes aside from the Windows updates.While attempting to reconfigure my wireless plan today to avoid a possible data overage charge, I noticed on my main Verizon Wireless account page that I had received a series of increasingly urgent messages from the service provider in recent weeks -"Act now or lose email access" was the latest. The problem continues.Īs I mentioned, this started about 3 weeks ago. I rebooted and received a number of Windows updates. There is no problem with Comcast (as far as I can determine) but incoming messages are not showing up in Outlook. My usage is now just 10% of my allocation. Thinking the problem was too little space I deleted old messages and emptied the trashcan. In order to read messages I need to open Comcast Xfinity email. I can go days without messages showing up in Outlook. I’m guessing the “send” task is working but “receive” is not. When I click on the send/receive all folders button, a window opens, the green bar runs halfway across while “task 1 of 2” displays. It looks like everything is set up for automatic receive whether online or offline. Outlook stopped receiving messages automatically about 3 weeks ago. I am running Outlook 2016 on an HP laptop, purchased new November 2015, with Windows 7 Professional and MS Office.
