Incoming Mail (IMAP) Settings:

• Server: imap.aol.com
• Port: 993
• Security: SSL/TLS
• Authentication: Yes

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Settings:

• Server: smtp.aol.com
• Port: 465 or 587
• Security: SSL/TLS
• Authentication: Yes (use your full email and password)

Verizon email is now powered by AOL, so these settings work for Outlook, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and other email clients.

For iPhone (iOS Mail): Go to Settings → Mail → Accounts → Add Account → Other → Add Mail Account. Enter your name, full Verizon email, password, and description. Then enter the IMAP and SMTP settings manually.

For Android (Gmail app): Open Gmail → Tap your profile picture → Add another account → Other → Enter your Verizon email and password. Follow the prompts to configure IMAP settings.

Need step-by-step guidance? Our support team can remotely guide you through the setup process.

Common reasons and fixes:

• Incorrect server settings: Ensure IMAP is set to imap.aol.com (port 993) and SMTP to smtp.aol.com (port 465 or 587)
• Outdated password: Update your password in Outlook account settings
• Outlook update required: Make sure your Outlook version is up to date
• Two-factor authentication: You may need to generate an app-specific password

Our specialists can fix sync issues remotely in minutes.

If you're not receiving emails, try these fixes:

• Check your spam/junk folder – important emails may be filtered there
• Verify your storage isn't full – delete old emails if needed
• Check your email filters and rules – they might be redirecting messages
• Ensure your IMAP settings are correct if using a third-party client
• Test by sending an email from another account to yourself

If you suspect your Verizon email has been compromised:

• Immediately change your password to a strong, unique password
• Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) for added security
• Check your sent folder for unauthorized emails
• Review and remove any unfamiliar recovery email addresses or phone numbers
• Run a security scan on your devices to check for malware

Our security specialists can help you secure your account and investigate any unauthorized access.

To reduce spam in your Verizon inbox:

• Mark spam emails as "Spam" or "Junk" to train the filter
• Create email filters to automatically move unwanted senders to junk
• Never reply to or click links in suspicious emails
• Unsubscribe from legitimate marketing emails using the unsubscribe link
• Adjust your spam filter settings to a higher sensitivity level

Our team can help configure advanced spam protection for your account.

To change your Verizon email password:

• Log in to your Verizon/AOL account settings
• Go to "Account Security" or "Password" section
• Enter your current password, then your new password (8+ characters with a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols)
• Confirm the new password and save changes
• If using email clients like Outlook, update the password there too

We recommend changing your password every 6 months for better security.

To recover deleted emails:

• Check your "Trash" or "Deleted Items" folder first
• Emails are usually recoverable within 7-30 days depending on settings
• If not in trash, check archived folders
• Use the search function to locate specific emails
• Contact support – we may help recover recently deleted emails

Act quickly – permanently deleted emails may not be recoverable after 30 days.

Verizon email is now powered by AOL (after the migration in 2017). Your @verizon.net email address still works, but the backend is managed by AOL. Key points:

• You can still access your Verizon email via AOL's platforms
• Your @verizon.net address remains active
• IMAP/SMTP settings now use AOL servers
• Customer support is available through both Verizon and AOL channels

No immediate changes are planned – your Verizon email continues to work normally.
