An Updated Guide to Set Up and Login to Verizon Email

Out of all the Verizon products, Verizon Email account is one of the oldest email services owned and operated by Verizon Communications. This guide will talk about the process of the Verizon.net Email Login. But before that, let’s get an overview of the email service.

Verizon Email- An Introduction

Verizon has its name among the top email services due to the easy accessibility it offers. It had around 4.5 million users with 2.5 million active users before it came to an abrupt end. It was in 2017 when Verizon announced its retirement from email services and the reason it mentioned was to shift their focus to other important services such as television and the internet. So those who have their Verizon.net email address were able to shift their account to AOL or Yahoo.

Can You Create a New Verizon Account?

After Verizon announced its retirement, it gave some time to its users to transfer their Verizon mail account to Aol.com or Yahoo.com. This happened when Verizon acquired AOL and took down its email segment. So if someone is interested in signing up for a new Verizon email account, they can do it at mail.aol.com or yahoo.com

How to Login to Verizone Email Account- Is It Still Accessible?

Now after the retirement of the Verizon email services, no one can create a new email account at www.verizon.net but those who migrated their account to AOL or Yahoo during the deadline can still log in to their Verizon email account through the AOL Login Page or Yahoo Login Page– www.yahoo.com.

Here is how you can log in to verizon.net:

1. Enter your Verizon email address on the login page and then press ‘Next’.

   

2. Now, enter the password and finally click on ‘Sign in’ to access your Verizon account 

   

That’s how you can log in to your Verizon email account with the help of the steps listed above.

How to Access Verizon Email with Third-Party Email Clients?

You can even access Verizon email with a third-party client apart from AOL and Yahoo such as Outlook; all you need to enter is the correct Verizon email settings i.e. SMTP, IMAP, and POP to avoid facing any login problem.
