Trying to avoid thoes EECB's huh?

I love how the middle of the email address now spells "ATONE"

Must have been too many e-mails from Consumerist readers. Maybe if their customer service wasn't as a atrocious as it is, they wouldn't need to change.

I assume this includes FIOS in addition to landlines and DSL.

Someone is about to get merged or bought. They might be increasing capacity on their corporate e-mail system to accommodate.

Nah. This is a snarky attempt to show solidarity with the new Obama administration.

Thats just excessive long now.

my guess would be so they can incorporate a special key like name.name.name@Exec.verizon.com, so they know what is consumer and what is not. They might be planning to step up avoidance of the consumer form email system.

Here is the poop, Verizon changed internal email systems from Lotus Notes to Outlook. Verizon has always had internal and external email addresses, with Lotus Notes internal were useless on the internet and external were @verizon.com. Now internal and external are both internet addresses. External = xxx.x.xxx@verizon.com, Internal = xxx.x.xxx@one.verizon.com (my source has no clue as to why). Both will work and are interchangeable. My source tells me that during the change from lotus notes to outlook for some unknown reason some of the email addresses were changed, some losing the middle "x" xxx.x.xxx@verizon.com Hope this helps.

If you send mail to @verizon.com, it will still redirect correctly. They didn't just do this, it's been done for (at minimum) 20 months.

I just tried to email Mark.D.Reddick@one.verizon.com and it bounced back to me.
