I recently moved overseas and therefore cancelled my Verizon account. I wished to retain the message in this account but when I went to login, I got an error message saying the account was suspended and offering to allow me to create a new Yahoo account, to which all the remaining messages, address book content, etc. would be transferred. That was fine, but every time I've tried it over the past two weeks, I've always gotten the same error message advising me to try again later.
There are other items on this forum from people with the same problem, but none with a resolution. I contributed to one posting (http://forums.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-net-Email/Can-t-change-from-Verizon-Yahoo-mail-to-free-Yahoo-ac... and was advised by a Verizon employee (message copied below) to create a new posting, which I am now doing. I would appreciate assistance to permit me to transfer my mail.
Thank you.

I did receive a message a week or more ago and responded. But so far no one has offered any assistance. This is a clear defect with Verizon's system and one which leaves me feeling very dissatisfied as a customer. I question why Verizon even needed to delete my Verizon Yahoo account in the first place. I am overseas and will return to my house in future -- but based on this, I am less likely to use Verizon again.
