[Heather_VZ]

Hi All-

I wanted to let you know that Verizon is aware of the email issue effecting many of you today and our team is working to fix it as quickly as possible. For up-to-date information regarding this, please visit Verizon's Outage page here.

I'll update this thread as I hear more.

Thank you for your patience!

On Thursday morning, September 12, 2013, Verizon experienced a service disruption that affected your email account.  You now are able to send and receive email normally and will continue to have access to your calendar and address book. 

We are diligently working to recover any of your email folders that cannot be seen at this time. When the issue is fully resolved, email previously sent or received and any personal folders you created prior to this interruption will be available.

While Verizon is working to resolve this issue, you can view updates as new information us available on verizon.com/outage.

If you regularly use a POP email client such as Microsoft Outlook, Yahoo or Mac Mail you may not have noticed any adverse impact outside of the temporary inability earlier today to connect to your servers.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this disruption has caused.

Hi All-

Here is the latest update from Verizon's Outage page on the email issue effecting some of you:

On 9/12, Verizon experienced an email service disruption that affected a small portion of our email customers. Through our restoration effort, customers are now able to send and receive email normally and will continue to have access to their calendar and address book.

We are actively restoring email folders for customers who were affected. This may take several days to complete. When the issue is fully resolved, email previously sent or received and any personal folders that customers created prior to this interruption will be available.

We apologize for the inconvenience some of our customers have experienced, and we appreciate their patience.

The Outage page will be updated as new information becomes available and I'll work to share that information here as well.

Thanks,

Heather
