I have been with Verizon for a long time and I am happy with their services and features, especially with Verizon net email. Owned by Verizon Communications, the email service is a client-based email software that you can access through any webmail platform. In 2017 the official announcement was made by the company about closing its email services so that it could focus on other elements like IPTV, the internet, and television. Verizon email users were allowed to keep their email active by shifting to Yahoo mail and AOL. However, now in recent times, this is not possible. Through this guide, I will help you to understand
How to sign up for a new verizon net email
Although Verizon has taken down its email services, it still allows new users to register for its services. If you want to open a Verizon email account, you can do so either through Yahoo or AOL. After you have successfully created your new email address, the next thing we will look at is how to log in to your Verizon email account.
Logging in to your verizon net email
As mentioned earlier, you can log in to your account either through Yahoo or AOL. In this section, I will take you through the steps of how to sign in for a new verizon net email.
To sign in using Verizon Yahoo Mail Page or AOL Login Page
- Log on to the Verizon email login page
- Type your complete email address and Click Next
- Type the password and select Login
Note – The email login procedure is not difficult, however, you have to ensure that you enter the password correctly. Keep in mind that the password is case-sensitive. So, if you happen to type it incorrectly, then you will not be able to access your email account. I would recommend that you choose a password that is strong and easy to remember. If you are using case-sensitive alphabets, make sure you note them down for future reference.
Third-party clients and Verizon net email
Although AOL manages Verizon email, you can use third-party email clients like your iPhone and Android devices as well as Outlook to access your Verizon email address. After a successful migration to Yahoo or AOL Mail, you then need to complete the Set-up Procedure so that you can access your email through a third-party email client. Let us look at the settings that you would need to access your account through a third-party platform.
Settings to set up the third-party email client
Pop 3
- Incoming mail server (POP3) pop.verizon.net – POP3-995-SSL
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtp.verizon.net – SMTP-465-SSL
IMAP
- Incoming mail server (POP3) imap.aol.com – IMAP-993-SSL
- Outgoing mail server (SMTP) smtp.verizon.net – SMTP-465-SSL
When you are setting up your verizon net email account information, it is important that you use the complete email ID, for example – xxx@verizon.net. You also need to check the settings and enable the SSL encryption for outgoing and incoming mail.
Login issues people face with verizon net email
Every email service provider will always have some kind of login issue. Even Verizon users face various problems when they try to log in to their Verizon accounts. Whether it is a new or an old email address, let me list down some of the commonly reported login issues that people have faced and how to fix them.
Internet issues
It is not uncommon for us to face internet issues, especially during peak hours. If you are not able to connect to the net, then you can restart the router once again and try logging in. If the problem still continues, get in touch with your internet service provider to find out if there is a downtime.
Incorrect Log-In details
Sometimes people may face log-in issues if they provide an incorrect user name or password. While entering the details, make sure that you pay attention to the information. If you have forgotten the username or password, then follow the process to recover your account.
Device related issues
There are times when you may face login issues because of your device. You would need to check if you have a software or a hardware issue. Sometimes, it can also be if you have not updated the software due to which you are facing problems logging in. Try using a different device to determine if you are having problems due to your device.
Browser related problems
In case you are not able to log in to your Verizon email due to your browser, I would suggest checking two main problems.
- The history, cookies, and caches are creating problems due to which you cannot log in. In this case, you would need to clear the browser history.
2. There is a problem with the web browser itself. In such cases, you would need to reinstall the browser once again and try logging in.
