From Verizon:  No.

An alternative would be to switch to another provider. The following link provides some possibilities.

I would like to stay with Verizon FIOS.  

If I remember correctly when I first signed up for Verizon many years ago we had the option of getting a yahoo-based EMail (verizon.net) or another.  Is that still available?

Yahoo user interface email is still a verizon.net email account.

The free emails can stil be used with Verizon FIOS.  Their just not hosted by Verizon.
