I received the email and a recorded phone message.  But there is no announcement in my account.

When does this change?  Why is it so vague?  Why do I have to come here to see the details?  Why isn't it given in the email? 

I really don't want to mess around with my settings until the time comes.

These settings do not work I have been without email access for about 3 months and this is the stupid solution that is provided.? The same idiotic solution that has been posted for years, with outdated instructions?

I am about to switch carriers; I have been with verizon for over 20 years, I think its time for a change.

Vague??  QUite explicit.  And the settings are only about a year old.  If you really are leaving, it won't matter.  But if you want assistance from your peers here give us info on your specific device or client email program.   If you use the Yahoo interface let us know. Give us all your settings that you can't get working except the personal ones (userid/password/etc).  Except for one old unsupported email client and some Yahoo to Outlook 2003 problems, I think all the others have solutions.
