I have been unable to log into my Verizon email. Sometimes it takes three or four tries. I can log into my gmail and iCloud accounts immediately. Then, after only a couple of minutes, Verizon times me out.
“The connection has timed out
The server at mail.verizon.com is taking too long to respond.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.”
In the short time it takes me to check off 5 or 6 emails I want to delete, I get the following message, in red
Unable to load /webmail/driver?nimlet=deleteemail status:0. |
I also get timed out in the middle of replying to an email
Request Timeout
The server timed out while waiting for the browser's request.

it’s the same on all three computers we use. One is a brand new Apple MacBook Pro, so the support excuse that my computer is slow isn’t valid.
Comcast has a plan where I will save a bundle and have better email service if I switch to them. I use Verizon for my cell phone but I can have much a cheaper service going with someone else. If you can’t fix the log in and respond and timed out problems, I definitely will be switching to COMCAST
Forgot to add this
When I try to get live chat support, if I have to wait a few minutes, or if I’m in the middle of replying, I get
“Sat Feb 012014 12:35:42 GMT-0500 (EST): Failed to establish connection to server. Please exit the window.” Then, in red
“The network connectivity is temporarily lost. Retrying to connect”
Of Course, I am never reconnected and no one calls me back.
Still waiting for a reply from Verizon. In the meantime, I plan to post this on every review I can and send it to every Apple User Group for forwarding to their members. I also plan to share my problem, loudly, at every Verizon Store in the area.
The only help I get is the same old message to go to the Verizon Help site or Community Forum. No one has contacted me with a solution.
Hi CaroleD,
Your issue has been escalated to a Verizon agent. Before the agent can begin assisting you, they will need to collect further information from you.
