Verizon provides two types of email accounts: verizon.net and Verizon Yahoo!. If your email address ends in "verizon.net", you are not a Verizon Yahoo! user. Note that Verizon Yahoo! broadband has been discontinued in some areas. See Verizon's service notice for more information. This article describes the connection settings for both Verizon services, and describes how to change from Yahoo! to Verizon.net (if your Yahoo! broadband service has been discontinued). This article assumes that you have already created an account (for example, through Automatic Account Configuration) and provides instructions for modifying an existing account.
See Configure an account for general information about setting up Thunderbird accounts.
