How To Use Verizon Email Features

Web-based email has become one of the most widely-used forms of communication in the world. With hundreds of millions of webmail account users worldwide, webmail services have to keep their email features and benefits tuned to the needs of their customers. While most webmail services are free, Verizon email is for paid telecommunication subscribers only. However, even with a paid subscriber base, Verizon makes email simple for their customers.

How To Access Verizon Online Email

With a Verizon email account, users can check and manage their email from any computer connected to the internet. Users sign in at the main Verizon sign in page. Verizon customers may enter their Verizon Online Username (which must be registered for separately with a Verizon services account) and password. Then they are taken to the main Verizon Online Mail page.

Verizon Email Features

Any Verizon email account user who may have or had a Yahoo! email account will find the interface very familiar. Verizon Online Mail is powered by the Yahoo! webmail service. Once a Verizon account user signs in, he or she is taken to the main email page, which shows updates, today's news, and advertisements. Users can easily navigate their email features using an easy tab navigation system on the top of the page, as well as a left navigation pane.

Checking for new email is as easy as clicking the inbox tab. The inbox allows users to view emails received with the most recent on top, or sort by subject or by sender. Within the inbox, users can click on any single or multiple email messages to delete, forward, or send to the spam folder or other organizational folder, which can be added from the left navigation pane. Users can even drag and drop email into folders in the navigation pane.

Verizon Contacts Feature

Email contacts are easily managed through the contacts feature. Simply click on the "Contacts" link in the left navigation pane. Contacts can be added, edited, and deleted. Verizon Online Main allows users to import or export contact lists from Facebook or other popular webmail services.

Verizon Calendar Feature

Verizon email users have a calendar function, though it may be unnoticed at first. Located at the bottom of any tab is a date with a calendar icon button, and arrow buttons. The arrow buttons can move the calendar date forward and backward, or click the calendar icon to see a small popup monthly calendar. The view never takes the full screen and remains subtly at the bottom. However, users are able to add events and reminders just like any other webmail service calendar.

Verizon Online Mail has useful features for its customers. With easy tab navigation and a familiar interface provided by Yahoo!, Verizon email is a breeze to manage.
