Aol Email Address

AOL is an internet service provider that was first launched in 1983 but then later became known as "America Online" in 1991. AOL provides users with internet services for a monthly fee, but offers AOL email addresses at no charge to any online user looking for a way to send and receive mail while having adequate storage as well. Currently AOL's email service is entirely free and offers unlimited .

Many people have nostalgic feelings regarding old-fashioned AOL email addresses, and it is easy for a person to obtain an AOL email address. Another advantage of having an AOL email address is that the user does not need to download any AOL software. Registration with AOL is required, however, but a simple registration process makes this an easy task to accomplish, and an AOL email address does not cost any money. Furthermore, having an AOL email address does not necessitate the obligation to have any other AOL software installed on a personal computer unless so desired.During the process of registering for an AOL email address, the email user needs to create an account. The person first enters a first and last name, and then chooses an email address, which is also called a Username with a capital U. Since every person sees the Username or email address, it is a good idea to establish a second email address after the creation of the first name. Then the user only uses the secondary email address except when in communication with AOL. This simple step can help to prevent security issues because no one but the user and AOL knows about the official Username used to establish the email address and account.This all sounds very easy, but the problem arises when every email address the person thinks of is already in use by another AOL user. The potential user needs to keep choosing a new name or email address in order to find one that no one else claims. This may take a little time, but such is the nature of various online tasks, so persistence in this regard pays off when the AOL software finally accepts the new name..Once the email address is established, the user needs to enter a password, date of birth, gender and zip code. The new user then picks a security question and answers it. Once the AOL email address is established, the person has access to many other AOL options, many of which are free.
