Supply Chain Industrial Engineer Consumer Goods Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Review of AOL Email" May 17, 2026 5.0 My overall experience with AOL Mail has been very favorable. I highly recommend its service to anyone. It is easy to learn. The learning curve is short. Pros What I like most about my AOL Mail is the ability to organize emails into subfolders. This allows for much better organization of files related to the same subject or author. In turn, I am able to retrieve email strings or have an increased continuity of thought. I also like the search feature. I can search by key words and all the relative emails will populate for ease of searching. AOL also captures potential spam mail into its own folder. This allows me to review and delete bad content or allow it into my inbox if I choose. Cons I do not like the "junk" email that I get. Just like regular email it is annoying and time consuming to remove.

Commercial BD Facilities Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "AOL used to be the best. They Have been surpassed." May 18, 2026 3.0 AOL used to be great but it seems it never got with the times. GMAIL is far more superior given it does not have the refreshing issues. Pros I have been an AOL user for almost my entire life. It is very user friendly and was the only email I used until a few years ago when I got a GMAIL. Cons My inbox has an issue that I can go days on end without it updating. Even if I keep refreshing it, it will not load the messages. This is not all the times but the variance is very frustrating.

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. Review Source JM Jazzmen M. CEO Arts and Crafts Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I love AOL" May 14, 2025 5.0 Pros I miss aol in general it was one of the first email systems to ever come out. Cons I didn’t like that I got locked out my old account and still have no way to get back in Review Source RW Renee W. Program Manager Human Resources Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use, great for beginners!" December 13, 2024 4.0 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. Review Source JG Joseph G.

I hope aol makes a come back, that would be good for sure Pros value for money, spam filtering, e mail marketing, it was the big t hing and i used to like the chat rooms a lot. Cons gmail is better, I think i used aol when it was the big thing but it is not popular any more. I think i was using the name \[sensitive content hidden\] Review Source BP Barbara P. Paralegal Office Manager Legal Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AOL, the good old days" January 27, 2025 3.0 At the time it was fine, I had a hotmail account and a gmail account as well. Eventually phased out the aol and hotmail accounts. Pros I used AOL mail many years ago, it was easy to use and free. Cons This was back in the days of dial up and it was slow. These days it is just not professional. Review Source PC Paula C. Marketing specialist Transportation/Trucking/Railroad Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Communication is simplified " January 11, 2025 3.0 Pros Communication is made easy with Aol mail because it's Open and information can be sent anywhere at anytime Cons Aol mail has no feature to debate on because of their functionality.

President/CEO/Consultant/Speaker Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 2+ years ### "With All The Email Providers, I'll Still Go Back To My First Love -- AOL" April 26, 2022 4.0 Pros The email provider was outside of college was my first. I still use it for more personal use. Until I was able to get and create a business email, everything went to AOL. It became confusing at times, but one of the great things about AOL was the ability to keep things organized by creating folders. I'm shocked it still keeps email from when I first used it. Cons I wish it would accept large files, and have the capability of sharing them. I still remember when there was AOL Broadband. That was my first introduction to high-speed Internet. $60 per month was costly, but it was worth it. Still saddened by the fact they got rid of it. If AOL Broadband was brought back, I'd be the first to get it. Review Source Holly C. Multi-Freelancer Consumer Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AOL mail is my go to now" January 23, 2022 5.0 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 Switched from [Gmail](https://www.capterra.com/p/202338/Gmail/) Simply because of that one step the multi delete button I love it Review Source CV Carol-Ann V.

I am now in my 40s. I have seen them upgrade the system, making changes to keep info protected. I have seen them come up with easier ways to change a lost password. It is my preferred email service. Pros I have been an AOL mail user forever! It's easy to navigate. You can find what you are looking for quickly. It was free. I love free. Cons I have never had an issue with AOL mail. Maybe just trying to find a password in the past. They have upgraded, and easier to reset. Review Source DE Destiny E.

Pros I have used AOL Mail since I was allowed to have an email. It is my main email that I check constantly throughout the day. It is easy to use and the inbox management is great. I do not have an inbox full of spam or junk emails. Cons I wish they incorporated some type of word document capabilities like google docs does. That would make AOL perfect.

It is user friendly and great for personal use. I would not use it for business purposes though. Pros AOL was a great email management system in it's prime. It excelled as a leader in the begining. I still have an AOL account but do not use it frequently. I do like the search feature as it is helpful. I also appreciate the ability to create many folders for sorting. Cons The software was pretty out dated, when I used it last as a primary email management software. I know it has improved but I feel like the amount of ads and pop ups are excessive. Review Source CL Christopher L. Operations Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Since You Had to Dial Up" October 5, 2023 4.0 I've been with aol for years, so most of it is intuitive and second nature. I took a break for a little while, but came back because of ease of use. The organization and layout are a good design to make things feel simple. I like that. It also has a high deliverability rate for sent mail, so even going into inboxes of people I don't know, the email doesn't get tagged or shuffled into promotions or spam. Pros The design and layout is simple to use and can be used for a quick glance to determine what's important, what items can wait or what can be delayed just by looking. Cons There are no aspects of the product I found unuseful, howere the aol tag comes with a certain predisposition. It is one of the oldest in the industry, and almost ubiquitous, but that may create misconceptions with the intended delivery recepient.
