Email communication is an essential part of our lives now, but sometimes we lack the features of email services. Are you also worried about the same? Then you are at the correct place. 

Here, we will discuss Verizon, an all-rounder about email services. You can easily configure a Verizon account into either your Outlook or any other 3rd party emailing client; it will help you access all the emails in one place without switching any ports or accounts. 

So let us move ahead and run this article and learn a lot more about Verizon and the setup of the same.

About Verizon

Verizon typically retired its email services long back in 2017 for all its customers. That was quite a user-friendly and features-rick email service that was very loyal to its customers. Still, in today's time, many customers are using it, and those are the ones who want to avoid getting shifted to any other email provider. However, Verizon allows customers to configure Verizon in other 3rd party email accounts, where they can easily access all of their emails in one place. But for this, you must be aware of Verizon's configuration and mail server settings. In the following sections, you can quickly review the settings to configure Verizon in 3rd party email accounts or mail application.

Remember that there are three ways mail server settings are used in verizon.net email settings, including IMAP and POP3 (used for incoming serve) and SMTP settings (used for outgoing server).

What is SMTP?

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, which dictates rules to the servers for sending emails online. This is a standard protocol used by the outgoing email servers the most.

What is POP?

POP stands for Post Office Protocol; this downloads the incoming emails to your mobile devices and desktop mail apps. This is a widely used setting for the mail application these days.

What is IMAP?

IMAP stands for Internet Message Access Protocol, also used for receiving emails. The IMAP account helps store your emails on the servers rather than downloading them.
