> Verizon has, since last week, been notifying customers that it is giving up control of 4.5 million customer email 
> accounts and will be migrating those accounts to AOL — a move that may give some flashbacks to the 1990s. (Those free 
> CDs, we presume, are not coming back.)
>
> Customers have 30 days to choose one of three options before they lose access to their accounts: Head over to AOL, 
> transfer their email to another provider or leave their accounts alone to be deleted.
>
> Verizon users who choose the AOL option will still be able to keep their existing addresses, which will carry the 
> “verizon.net” ending. They will, however, have to let Verizon know that they want to hang on to their addresses and 
> log in through AOL's system from now on, the email said.
>
> Why the change? According to an information page on Verizon's website, the firm said it realized there are “more 
> capable email platforms out there” — including AOL Mail, which has been owned by Verizon since 2015.
