Recently Verizon sold all their land-based operations to Frontier. Thousand of folk have problems. I also have some.However I only want to address the email situation. Verizon's email user interface was superior. Frontier's not so good. Its too easy to delete more than one, unless the box is checked and then delete.On the other side, Frontier's Spam function is right on the money. Whereas Verizon's Spam function hardly worked at all. On theirs I used any unsubscribe if available and then marked it spam. It was all hit-and-miss.Frontier's spam function works right away with no errors so far. Good for them.

Gmail's spam filter is the best I've found.

I've been a frontier customer for many years when verizon sold the oregon fios system to frontier. I've always used outlook for mail, and found it to be virtually the same under verizon as frontier, and very very seldom use the frontier webmail.and you can set up outlook so when you delete a email in outlook it will delete it on the frontier server next time you check email.

I would recommend never relying on ISP's email 'service'. They tend to be crummy, if you move of they are bought out you might have to tell all your friends/family what the new email address is..etc.. It's just a huge hassle.IMO you're better served with any of the free email options, yahoo, gmail or the like.

Having previously been a Frontier landline customer before we moved I can say with a high degree of certainty that they believe 1985 technology works just as well today as it did 30 years ago.

If you're looking for spam, lots of it, then there's nothing better than Yahoo

I've been a Yahoo mail user for probably 15 years now and for maybe 10 years 100 percent of the spam that comes my way either doesn't reach me at all or goes directly to the spam folder. We are down to where I see almost nothing now.

I don't see how it can get much better than that.
If you are seeing a lot of spam in your inbox, I strongly suspect that most of the fault probably is YOURS.

outlook, msn and hotmail are the worse, for getting junk and inappropriate e-mail.
aol is horrible for advertising spam

Please tell me how that works won't you? I've had a Yahoo email address since 1997, the year Yahoo Mail went live.

What I didn't mention is that NOBODY has that email address. All I do is empty it once a week or so with nowhere less than 50 spam and phish messages, and this is MY fault?

Please elaborate...

And I have the opposite problem. AOL, unlike Yahoo seems to do a WAY better job of spam. I currently have 5 AOL addresses, all over 25 years old when Steve Case used to personally answer the support line, 3 of them are mine, and they don't get anywhere near the spam Yahoo does. That's the only reason I keep them.
