Face it; it's considered UNcool to use AOL. Sort of old-fashioned and passe.

Count 2 more long term "UNcool" AOL users here, LOL!

Yep, we're "sort of old-fashioned and passe" too!

Never had a problem with AOL mail, so haven't needed to contact their CS in India (where almost every other US company has outsourced their CS to, also).

Therefore, no need for us to "Face it", LOL!

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

I had a Verizon FIOS e-mail account for a few years. Then they turned over their e-mail service to AOL. I still maintain my original addy, but the e-mail comes through AOL. No problems whatever. I was an AOL user for many years without issue. Very reliable e-mail service for the most part. Passe? Pshaw! If AOL e-mail was good enough for Verizon, then for sure it's good enough for me!

@GingerPeach, I still have an AOL account. I also have a GMail account ( I rarely use). I stick to the AOL account because it's just easier, I have a lot of websites I deal with that have the email address, I don't feel like changing it. When I do give someone my email address, I feel they are judging me and must think I'm over 100 years old!

AOL is still around? I thought that went out with pay phones.

I got some malware long ago from AOL. It took a while to clean my computer. When I got Comcast internet 19 years ago,I said goodbye AOL.

Today, I use Comcast email and Gmail.

@GingerPeach I kept my AOL because I liked how easy it is to sort things into From/Subject/Date. I use the free online version and a short while after I switched, I cannot use that sort feature. It is stuck on being sorted by date. I liked to click at the top on the FROM so I could delete a large quantity of emails or put the group in a folder. Now when I click at the top of the page one of the From/Subject/Date, it does absolutely nothing and stays on the date sort. Is there a way to make the sorting work on the free version? The sorting feature is what kept me on AOL so long and the fact I can no longer sort is what will make me switch to another internet provider.

I would use what works, and not worry about "cool". I used to pay for my aol account when it first came out, it was the only way to access the internet, in the 1990s. (That and another provider whose name i forgot, prodigy?) I accessed the internet via the phone line, remember that noise? I later switched to msn, and when high speed internet came into being via cable service, I got a different account. We used to have to pay for the aol and msn services, so I cancelled them and said goodbye to them when I stopped paying for them. I don't recall when that was, maybe 20 years ago? So that is why it seems aging. I didn't know there was a "free" AOL service, never heard of it. Who knew?
