Email regarding change to Verizon Outgoing & Incoming Email Settings. Is it SPAM???

[nyjfootball]

Received this yesterday. Can anyone from Verizon chime in and state where it's spam or legit?

Dear Verizon Internet Customer,

At Verizon, we continue our efforts to enhance your online experience as well as ensure ongoing security for our Internet customers.  As a result, Verizon Online has modified the way email is handled when sent or received through an email application other than MyVerizon. 

If you only use MyVerizon to access your email account, no action is required and you may disregard this email.  If you do, however, use other applications to access your Verizon email, such as Outlook Express®, you will need to modify your email settings to take advantage of enhanced security we now offer. 

In order to make these modifications, please visit http://verizon.com/emailsettings for information about the  email settings you need to update.  Additional information may also be available by going to our online forum at http://forums.verizon.com/. 

Thanks for being a valued Verizon Online customer and we encourage you to act now to ensure your email account has the proper settings on a going-forward basis.      

Sincerely,

Verizon Online

Use the SEARCH, people!!! As has already been stated MANY times in MANY posts: Yes, it's legit.

The changes are not absolutely required yet, but they do add security.

How about when a forum member gives you useless information for the sake of building a better reputation on these Verizon community boards? Can I leave feedback on that? Or is it only positive enforcement we stress here, as in 1st grade? These boards really could use a button titled "Answer NOT Helpful". Must have missed the other posts on this here topic. Let me apologize, All Star.

It looks as if we should all treat aby correspondence with Verizon as Spam!
