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 is nostaligic and is great free option for personal email especially having had it since day 1. Im noy wanting to have to give people i have corrosponded with thru that email for so many years (and who are now elderly and not good with change) a new email for me. The simplicity of it is helpful for using it in that manner. I have had a huge amount of spam that doesnt automatically get filtered to the spam box which is a nuisance. Also i get free version so more and more advertisememts are happening.

Pros

AOL is simple and basic really easy to navigate. It is compatible with older devices. It has unlimited storage and it is free.

Cons

It doesnt suppprt fingerprint or facial recognition for log in security being an older platform. I dont feel the security is there like GMAIL has and i tend to get alot more spam.

I have had AOL mail for 20 years. My large complaint is the amount of junk mail. It deters me from wanting to keep it for my primary mailbox.

Pros

Mailbox layout and categories are useful.

Cons

AOL does not filter spam mail at all it I get an excessive amount of junk mail.

Overall, I have been satisfied with AOL mail. If I had not been, I would not have been using it for the past 20+ years. It does exactly it is intended to do, it sends and receive emails. There's not all the extra bells and whistles that some of the other email applications offer however I don't need the bells and whistles at this time. It also does a great job at organizing my emails and putting the correct emails in the spam folder. I highly recommend AOL Mel for beginners, such as my grandmother who just recently got an actual email address for the first time. It's very user-friendly!

Pros

First of all.. who can forget the sound of "you've got mail" from the 90's. It use to give me butterflies in my stomach. I have kept my same AOL email address for over 20 years & still use it today! Easy to access through the app on my cell phone as well as my laptop.

Cons

Face it. AOL mail is a little behind the times in the options it offers. But it's free, efficient & still works perfectly fine for sending & receiving emails.
