Verizon moved their email to AOL servers. I don't know if that's true for all of Verizon, or only for the people who were bought out by Frontier. It's horrible.  >:(

No, it's just littered with ads. Plus, it's stupid. I go to AOL mail and log in with a Verizon email account, and we don't have service with either one of them. I told Sugarbutt we should switch to gmail, I guess I could do mine but he's not ready for that change.  :dunno:

gmail just sells you stuff based on the content of your e-mails.... why would I want to do that? (Maybe when nothing else is available)
