Don't "use" Verizon's email per se; just their servers so can use my email program.

This is contradictory. Just get a gmail account.

For what it's worth, you must log into your new AOL email account(s) at least once every 60 days in order to keep your @Verizon.net email address(es). I've migrated my Verizon email addresses to Outlook so I don't have to log into AOL to access them and continue to inform the other parties of my new outlook address (they only allow one mailbox whereas Verizon allowed 5).

This says accounts are deactivated without a log in after 90 days and subject to deletion after 180 days:
They should have gotten a gmail account 10 years ago. Or an outlook account.
Getting an e-mail from your ISP went out of style at least a decade ago. It's about time Verizon did this. You've got to keep up with the times because had they switched over to g-mail when everyone was doing this, they wouldn't be concerned about what was happening.
Can easily download emails via Outlook (or back in the day Outlook Express), reply, forward, save and or otherwise act upon them while doing other things with that program. Indeed have had my emails via Verizon's servers through Outlook longer than Google has been in existence.

Anyone who has a Gmail account should read the article linked below about Google's massive snooping and data mining.
I am pretty sure that Verizon didn't have a big client espionage operation especially if you received your emails directly from Verizon's servers through outlook express, windows mail or windows live mail.

Exactly!
Nothing is "free" on the internet anymore nor truly has been in decades. There always is an angle and that increasingly is personal data and or advertising.
It kills me that people don't truly know what Facebook is all about. Mark Zuckerberg and his family aren't multi billionaires because that website allows people to "share" things about themselves.

Facebook is also a huge law enforcement tool. Not too bright criminals post pictures of themselves that can be checked against facial recognition software. Then their circle of friends on FB is neatly organized for LE to find their associates and accomplices. I don't know if there is any official link between FB and LE but it definitively is a LE tool.

The internet being supported on advertising has been there almost as long as there has been a public internet. So that part hasn't changed, but the massive data troweling to sell you out is newer.
