AOL mail is my go to now
Absolutely love it having that feature where you can delete multiple multiple messages at one time is a godsend because I have one email that has 65,000 emails in it and that’s ridiculous but it doesn’t have the option where I can click on the box in the league multiple at a time. So I can deal with him aggravate me about downloader app download our app to have that option to wipe out all of the mail that I don’t want that one time
Pros
The thing I like most about AOL mail is that they have an option where you can click a box and then you click up at the top and you can delete every single message in that category all at one time. Like if you have 100 messages from today you click on one and you go up and click today box and there it is they’re all related
Cons
The thing I absolutely hate is they will bother you so bad until you download download their app the AOL mail app it’s not enough that you can go online to www.aol.com no you have got to download that out because they will drive you crazy until you do

AOL Mail is so easy to use.
I have been using AOL Mail for over 20 years :) And honestly while I have other email accounts from other providers my AOL Mail is my main email account and I would not change it for the world.
Pros
I like the ease of use and the fact that AOL has all the functionality I need.
Cons
There is nothing that I dislike about AOL Mail.
Reasons for Switching to AOL Mail
While I do use Gmail as my secondary email account - AOL Mail is my main email account and I chose AOL Mail because it is easy to use, the layout is intuitive and Spam is filtered exceptionally well.- Industry: Real Estate

Aol email still works, and can be utilized as a "short email address that is easy to remember"
I use it as my 1st line of defense when giving out email address to vendors and others that I know will sell my info and spam me in the future. I also setup aol mail to forward messages to another email service so that i rarely have to log in to aol and deal with their cluttered layout
Pros
It's free and easy to use, and has a short domain address making it easy to remember. I usually give out my aol address to vendors and sales people, as to avoid repeating my address several times, which is needed with long complex adresses.
Cons
The messy layout with ads everywhere makes it a frustrating and messy experience.

With All The Email Providers, I'll Still Go Back To My First Love -- AOL
Pros
The email provider was outside of college was my first. I still use it for more personal use. Until I was able to get and create a business email, everything went to AOL. It became confusing at times, but one of the great things about AOL was the ability to keep things organized by creating folders. I'm shocked it still keeps email from when I first used it.
Cons
I wish it would accept large files, and have the capability of sharing them. I still remember when there was AOL Broadband. That was my first introduction to high-speed Internet. $60 per month was costly, but it was worth it. Still saddened by the fact they got rid of it. If AOL Broadband was brought back, I'd be the first to get it.

Since You Had to Dial Up
I've been with aol for years, so most of it is intuitive and second nature. I took a break for a little while, but came back because of ease of use. The organization and layout are a good design to make things feel simple. I like that. It also has a high deliverability rate for sent mail, so even going into inboxes of people I don't know, the email doesn't get tagged or shuffled into promotions or spam.
Pros
The design and layout is simple to use and can be used for a quick glance to determine what's important, what items can wait or what can be delayed just by looking.
Cons
There are no aspects of the product I found unuseful, howere the aol tag comes with a certain predisposition. It is one of the oldest in the industry, and almost ubiquitous, but that may create misconceptions with the intended delivery recepient.

AOL Mail Passed it's Prime
Overall it is not a bad system. It is user friendly and great for personal use. I would not use it for business purposes though.
Pros
AOL was a great email management system in it's prime. It excelled as a leader in the begining. I still have an AOL account but do not use it frequently. I do like the search feature as it is helpful. I also appreciate the ability to create many folders for sorting.
Cons
The software was pretty out dated, when I used it last as a primary email management software. I know it has improved but I feel like the amount of ads and pop ups are excessive.

It's email and works as it should
Pros
I like it because I've had it forever. It has emails from years ago and I've never had a problem with it.
Cons
There are better email clients out there if you are looking for that. It's just outdated now, but still functions just as it should.

Old School but Updated
I've had AOL Mail since I was 17. I am now in my 40s. I have seen them upgrade the system, making changes to keep info protected. I have seen them come up with easier ways to change a lost password. It is my preferred email service.
Pros
I have been an AOL mail user forever! It's easy to navigate. You can find what you are looking for quickly. It was free. I love free.
Cons
I have never had an issue with AOL mail. Maybe just trying to find a password in the past. They have upgraded, and easier to reset.

AOL Mail thumbs up from me
I enjoy AOL Mail. It is my main email and it has proven very useful over the years.
Pros
I have used AOL Mail since I was allowed to have an email. It is my main email that I check constantly throughout the day. It is easy to use and the inbox management is great. I do not have an inbox full of spam or junk emails.
Cons
I wish they incorporated some type of word document capabilities like google docs does. That would make AOL perfect.

Forever AOL
I use AOL for all of my personal communications. It's important that I have an email that is not connected to my workplace, and my AOL account is perfect for that.
Pros
Email with AOL is so easy. I have always had AOL and I have no plans to change that. I like the extra features of stationery and smileys. I use those regularly.
Cons
The only thing I don't like about AOL is the attitude I hear on rare occasions that it's old-fashioned. AOL actually keeps up with the times by adding new artists, updated stationery, and more.

My Years on AOL Were Sweet!
AOL Mail was so much fun to use and great for getting messages across. It is what we had before posting memes on social media became a thing. AOL Mail was a stepping stone for me.
Pros
I loved how one could see whether the email was read or deleted by the recipient, something you don't get with other email platforms.
Cons
I had no complaints about AOL software, but I haven't been using it much ever since I switched to a throwaway email account on another platform and went into social media.

AOl mail for dummies
My overall experience with Aol would be mediocre at best average plugins loose security protocols and customer service is barley teachable
Pros
The feature I liked most about Aol was the ability to use the build in software to add attachments and search for files online including audio and graphic
Cons
What I found most disturbing about this software was the fact that it would crash 1 to 2 times a day mostly when sendingass email folders with attachments causing me to waste 1 hour of my time refiling everuthing
