AOL Review

I love using AOL and especially going into the various chat rooms to find people to chat with even thou I believe half the people you talk to online are spam.

Pros:

The best feature about AOL is the fact that whenever you get mail, the software literally says, Youve got mail. I have always loved that future.

Cons:

The amount of pop ups I would get sometimes since AOL was a thing of the 1990s and early 2000s, sometimes spam would pop up alot.

AOL free email options simple to use for people not tech savvy

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.

Reasons for switching to AOL Mail

Juno was incredibly slow and basic and my emails kept disappearing that were very important from my dad before he died. I couldnt find them to recover and i didnt even erase them i had them in folder on purpose si i wouldnt but one day they were just gone.

Pros:

AOL Mail was a good service it was easy to log into I loved it that you got mail message when we got an email which was nice I guess that's the only Pro I can think of could have been a while since I've had it

Cons:

It lacked advanced features that other providers did but I just assumed that's because it was one of the first email providers I needed more advanced features so that's why I switched to another provider
