What is AOL Mail?

AOL Mail, sometimes stylised as AOLMail or Aol Mail, is a free webmail service offered by AOL, which is now a brand owned by Verizon Communications. In the mid 1990s, AOL Mail was recognised as the largest email provider in the world. However, at that time, the service was exclusively available to AOL internet customers.

The company’s free webmail service opened to the wider public in 2005 as AIM Mail and was initially connected to its AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) service. It is now known as AOL Mail. Following Verizon’s purchase of AOL in 2015, the company made the decision to migrate all Verizon.net email subscribers to the AOL Mail platform too.

How Do I Create an AOL Mail Account? – AOL Mail Sign Up.

To create a new AOL Mail account, you will first need to visit the main AOL.com mail login page, which can be found at: mail.aol.com. From there, you should see a login box and underneath, there should be a box labelled “Create An Account”. Click on this and you will be taken to the AOL email account registration form.

On the next page, you will need to enter personal information and select your new email address, which will end with “@aol.com”. Your email address will need to be at least four characters in length and you will not be able to continue if your chosen address has already been selected by another user.

You will also need to select a password and you will not be able to proceed if your password is not deemed strong enough. Generally, a strong password will include a combination of numbers, upper case letters, lower case letters and symbols. It will need to be at least eight characters in length and cannot contain your name.

Once you have entered all of the requested information, click ‘Continue’ at the bottom of the page.

A code will be sent to your cell phone, which you need to enter on the next page under “Verification Code”.

AOL Email Login Problems.

I can’t log in to my AOL Email Account. What is the problem be?

Occasionally, AOL Mail users might encounter problems that prevent them from logging in. Fortunately, many of the most common problems are well-known and this means that if you are experiencing issues, you may be able to resolve them by running through a simple checklist of potential solutions and seeing which one works.

1. If you receive an “invalid password” error message, this means the password you have entered is incorrect or does not match AOL’s records. The most common explanations for this are that you have made a typing error or that you have used upper case and lower case letters in the wrong place. Check that CAPS LOCK is off and re-enter your password. And, if you are copying and pasting your password from a document, then make sure that you leave out any “spaces”.
2. Another possible explanation here may apply if you have recently changed your password, but your browser includes a password auto-complete feature. In this event, it may be that the auto-complete is attempting to sign in with your old password, rather than your new one, so you should try checking those settings in your web browser.
3. Alternatively, it could be that your password has been changed by someone who gained unauthorised access. In this case, it is best to follow the password reset instructions later in this article and set a new password.
4. Similarly, you may have made a mistake when entering your username or email address, so check that you have not made any typing errors. In particular, mistakes like using a zero instead of an “o” or using an upper case “I” instead of a lower case “L” can be difficult to spot, so it may be best to delete what you initially typed and start again.
5. Occasionally, users encounter problems linked to their web browser. The easiest way to identify whether this is the cause of your issue is to try to sign in using a different web browser. You could also try to log in using a different device to see if that makes a difference. Possible ways to fix a problem with your preferred web browser include making sure it is updated to the latest version, clearing cookies and browser data, or temporarily disabling ad-blocking add-ons.
6. Finally, it could be that the AOL Mail login site is having technical issues. A simple Google search for a term like “is AOL Mail down?” should bring up websites that will give you up-to-date information about the site’s status, such as www.isitdownrightnow.com.

How do I Reset My AOL Mail Password?

If you are resetting your password, it is important that you set a new one as soon as you regain access to your account. This can be done from within the account settings. Remember, it needs to be both strong and memorable.

Netscape Mail – Does It Still Exist?

Netscape Mail was an email client developed by Netscape Communications Corporation. AOL purchased Netscape in 1998 and the Netscape WebMail interface was replaced by the AIM interface in 2005. The following year, users were prevented from signing up for new @netscape.net email addresses, effectively bringing an end to the service.

While existing Netscape email addresses continue to be supported via AOL Mail, Netscape WebMail no longer exists.

AIM Mail and AIM Messenger – Does It Still Work?

AOL Instant Messenger, or AIM, was officially discontinued in 2017, meaning the instant messenger service no longer works. The closure also resulted in AIM buddy lists being permanently deleted. However, AIM email addresses continue to be supported via the AOL Mail platform and users can continue to sign in, read and send emails as usual.
