My phone on/off button broke and I ordered another one
from Verizon. I asked the guy to set up my phone.
He said a strange thing about Verizon mail. “Verizon mail
was originally set up for Verizon to communicate with you
only.” He said Verizon doesn’t want to be responsible for
the mail issues they have been having. I get so much garbage
in my email - it seems I have been hacked.
*Never_ever* use the email from your isp for your on-line presence... Get an oline mail (like gmail, hotmail, yahoomail, etc) and ONLY use that for anything online. Your ISP's mail should only be for people you have eyeball with... IRL friends and family...
You will find that the online mail will then be getting all the spam - and they are set up for it - Unfortunately, you will likely need to change your verizon email address before you'll get any peace... But thereafter, do not give it out online for any reason...
