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.

  If you switch to gmail, it will all be managed by gophers, who will royally stuff it up.

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)

Ads can be turned off in account settings.
