How to Stop annoying ozmail zmail text messages from 11-801-222-2269

Question

Get a tech on the phone and your problem will be resolved.  dont even bother with trying to do yourself.  I  just upgraded to the droid 2 global from LG Envy.  every 20 minutes or so was getting messages from the same number (which looks like international) with either zmail or ozmail in the heading with brew:///.....    googled the problem.  seems like a lot of people had the same issue. read all the resolves to do myself, replied stop, went on my verizon put in the number to block without the 11 since it only allows 10 digits, and put the block on zmail.com and oz.mail.com..  still got the messages.  Several posts said tech support really was no help because they suggested to change their cell number.  But another said get the right tech on the phone to fix because it is a email messaging problem.   I called suppor;t the person I initally spoke with was not tech but put me on hold while she called over.  She said "the only way to stop the messages was to change your number".!  Wrong!!!   I said it is a problem that many people have when upgrading to a smart phone from another cell phone that was subcribed to email.  I also told her from what I read in the verizon forum that not everyone in tech support knows how to fix this and will just say to change the number, but find someone there in tech who knows and has dealt with this issue.  After a few more minutes on hold i was transfered directly to a tech person.  This was not the person who said to change my number.  She knew exactly what the problem was; brought up my account saw that I had "email messaging alerts" which was from my hotmail set up for my old phone.  She stopped the alerts and said they messages from ozmail, zmail will stop.  Also this will have no impact on recieving emails, messages etc on the phone. 
so far, all day not one message from........  Also I was told if I get a bill for responding to the text to stop to call to get it taken off.. just make the call and an be insistent if need be to get to a tech who has dealt with this.  hope this helps.

Where are these settings you're talking about?

Ok,  After spending countless days, phone calls and reviews on forums I found way to fix the issue with OZMAIL text messages.. To remove them you must have your old phone with you.  Simply go to
Email> Mobile Email>select accounts to delete.
Once you select delete accounts through this you will no longer have your old phone's setting in your phone and your new one won't provision any more unwanted texts.  The reason be is that you created alerts in your old phone to get updates when new messages come in, so by deleting the email from your old phone you no longer will receive updates to your new phone.
I sent myself a few emails to see if this is a fix and it works!
