To add to the Gmail comment. After you sign up for Gmail, you can set it up to access other mail accounts and automatically bring that mail into the Gmail inbox (either letting Google POP your Verizon email or forward your Verizon email to Gmail).
This way, you can easily transition away from one email provider to Gmail. I did this when I moved away from my old Bellsouth account. I didn't have to worry about people sending mail to the wrong address, and I could reply to messages sent to the Bellsouth account with my Gmail address.
