said by kes601:I'm going to post a question that other's have posted in your other threads -- why not just switch to a non-Verizon account
And I'll answer as I (and others) have answered this before
: I DO have other email accounts (including my own domains), but use the VZ accounts for specific purposes, including the subaccounts for family, and, as you say, it should work.
I post about outages here because I know that when there is an outage, I always find it helpful to come here and see that others have posted about it---saves me the "is it me or them?" dilemma!
