Setting up verizon.net email

Hi! Does anyone know if there's any way to set up my verizon.net email account without having to install whatever silly client Verizon thinks I should be using? I have my own hosting setup and personal email addresses, I really only want the Verizonnet address so I can use espn3.com. But Verizon wants me to download some kind of client, I have no idea what it does, and I figure there's about a 99.9999% chance that it's chock-full of spyware.

Can I get around it? Thanks!

#1 Here are the settings that you need to know to use Verizon e-mail

#2If you are using Outlook express, this is what you need to know

#3 If you are not using OutLook Express, it would help to know what e-mail client you are using..

My problem isn't setting up a mail client to access my Verizon mail; my problem is that I do not actually have a verizon mail account, and can't seem to set on up without being forced to download and install some kind of software that I do not want. Is there a way to bypass this? Or do I just have to hope it doesn't fill up my Mac with spyware when I install and remove it?

That is odd.

#1 I went to https:///activate.verizon.net/launch/welcome

#2 I Selected either:

a) Reconnect to the Internet because I reset or replaced my modem.

b) OR Configure additional PC or reinstall software.

#3 When I did that. I was prompted for an user name and password.

Do you have an user name and password?

For security reasons do not tell me your user name/password.

I wonder if users who accounts are not Activated can access this site....

What exactly is it asking you to download / install? Could it maybe be Java or Adobe Flash?
