AOL was my first email back when they started. I love that they offer so much in an app and I appreciate that its FREE to use. I have never had problems with AOL that I couldnt fix with better memory or a better laptop. I love the ability to use three separate names/email addresses on my iPhone. I use it like a file cabinet. One for online receipts, one for hobby groups and spam, one for friends and relatives. I havent taken advantage of their new face of news and other interesting stuff except Huffington post. Not sure if its an aol thing. They seem to be the only email service that offers 7 emails on one website all linked to one account. Thats convenience. I wish security from phishing was better. I have been afraid to give a phone number.
