A number of ISP mail services have had issues lately, Verizon "for

that sentence again, yes they did. They also are threatening to
disable POP3 and require use of POP3s (SSL secured), but I don't think
that has happened yet, I still get spam in my VZmail on my cell.
Control of spam and control of email privacy/authentication are two
different things. Using SSL won't in itself do anything to prevent spam.
If the old access were not working it would totally prevent spam, since I
haven't converted the cell at this point, and would not get logged in. That's
how I know they haven't actually done anything yet.
