I got the notice for one email address yesterday, and another notice for another address today. Both have now been converted over to AOL, while keeping the "verizon.net" addresses.
My only hope is that AOL's spam filters actually work. Verizon's never did.

Day 2 after the switch and still zero spam via Thunderbird. If I go to the web interface (which I rarely do), I can see the spam folder filling up, but it doesn't get passed on to my email client.
Verizon's spam filtering had to have been turned off (more likely never implemented) from the beginning. Fuckers...

The scary thing is I've got an old Yahoo account (unused)... and apparently they sold their mail operation to Verizon... which means Yahoo mail is now AOL mail.
Shiver.

I think I am going to keep my present verizon email accounts as is, regardless of whether they are hosted on AOL. Then I'll gradually switch to new email provider(s) on my own time,
I keep my 2 feet on the ground, and my head in the twilight zone.
