AOL!!!! Damnit!

They've gone and changed their main page and we couldn't locate our email! My husband finally figured it out but what the hell?

Really annoying.

Yes, I know I shouldn't have AOL but we do so there we are.

Anybody else here have AOL and found out your mail icon was missing?

They just kept billing the credit card. That was probably 15-20 years ago.

and then we got a deal from MSN, so we switched. Getting out of AOL was like pulling teeth. After I called to cancel they billed us the next month. I called and complained and they tried to talk me out of cancelling --again. And still continued to bill. I called again and they said they were billing us for our daughter's account -- she had a separate family address on our account, and told me I couldn't cancel it. They pulled the same thing on a friend who was paying for her grandson's account. We finally got out, but it was tough.

I remember that years ago when we were all just going online that AOL was considered "unfashiionable." I wondered how such a thing was considered either fashionable or not fashionable. I thought that was strange...

without going through AOL's main page first.

Today, I can go to directly to AOL Mail and log on.
I just checked now and can also get to my mail by going through their main page.

Something has been wrong with their site lately.

and I'm responding at 7:10, I wonder if the issue has been resolved?

I wonder if they were doing maintenance on their site to fix the other log in issue.

I access my AOL email through the mail app on my iPhone. That way I don’t have to use their homepage. I use DU as my homepage instead.
