I really need my Verizon.net account to read IMAP from external accounts. The Yahoo! webmail has gotten so cumbersome, but I can't use POP since I'm not a premium user.
Are you saying you want the Verizon.net web email access to be able to pull email from other servers? If so, that's not something Verizon does.
If you're using an email client on your computer, that can be easily configured to access multiple email accounts. If you need help with this, let us know what email program and email service you're using.
You might want to try gmail.
Good Luck.
