AOL Anyone?

[mom2aidan]

Anyone having issues with AOL? I had an issue for a long time trying to send my mail and then trying to log in and now when it logs in it wont go to my inbox. I tried in Firefox and Explorer. GGGGRRRRR FRUSTRATING...I NEED to check my mail...I have mail I need to check

I've always heard horror stories about AOL and have never used it for any reason...Ben

I've used AOL for years, amazingly enough. Primarily as an email box. I actually load their fat client to get and store my email there, since I'd done so long before they had web-mail capability. And they didn't support Firefox, my browser of choice. Never really had trouble with it other than cleaning up their stuff they leave running.

Just checked, using Firefox, no problem.

After I tried them I never could find a way to completely uninstall their software. I ended up having to go through regedit and manually removing it. AOL is famous for hijacking your computer.

AOL is like the mafia. Once you are in the family it is hard to get out of.

I prefer not tying my email address to my DSL provider. If I have to change providers I do not want to have to change email addresses. That said, Any business email address should not have aol.com, yahoo.com, etc. It simply doesn't look professional. You can route the email from your business address to whatever provider you use.

i dont use my aol email for business...i use a business email address and i dont feel like using the at&t email address we got with it because hubby and i have many email addresses for many different things...he has 2 home businesses and one real business and one email for friends and family...i have 2 emails for friends and family and 1 business email.
