Computer Help and Support

I use AIM Mail for my personal email, and it works just fine.

I can't remember how I ended up with it (I never had AOL as my Internet provider), but IIRC, I signed up for a free email service an age ago, and over the years various services got merged, and here I am. It's actually a pretty decent service for free (I moan about it a heck of a lot less than my partner does about Hotmail): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_Mail

It doesn't snoop on you in the way some other systems (*cough* GMail) can do.

My main gripe is that they will keep fiddling with the interface, but that's not a compliant that's unique to them.

There have been a few times I've had trouble logging on (not many over the years) using my usual bookmark.

One way around that was to Google AIM Mail and follow the link there (no idea why that would work when the direct link didn't, but it did).

Once in a blue moon I've had trouble logging on at all, but that's always resolved itself in a day or so.
