Anyone else lost AIM (AOL) mail service?

Featherman · 01/20/2010, 04:22 PM

I can't get my Pre to sync or automatically retrieve my AIM or AOL (...@netscape.net) after 1.3.5.1.

It worked fine before but now will not automatically sync "as received" or even if I select a time frame, like every 1 hour.

And yes I searched to no avail...

Any help, guidance, answers or direction is greatly appreciated.

Jon

Indeed. I have had it for many, MANY years. Actually it is an old free Netscape address from well before they "merged" with AOL. It has become the proverbial "junk drawer" of emails. When ever anyone, website or company, asks for my email, they get this one.

Keeps my real personal email address manageable for communication I want to read!

I was having a similar issue with an AOL account after the latest update and set it to retrieve ever 5 minutes. This seems to work well.

And I've had my AOL address since 1994.
