A 10/5/17 email from AOL.com suggests that previous verizon customers change their account settings but I don't see that anything has changed. Can you confirm?

Confirm what? You haven't provided any details about what AOL wants you to change. If in doubt, check with AOL/Verizon. The message is from them after all.
