I use AOL but hate their e-mail. I prefer to use Outlook Express.
So I looked around for a free POP3 mail server and now I use that. (I
actually use 2 of them to make sure I have backup)
This gets you away from AOL restrictions. It also means that when you reply
to a post, the previous post is automatically attached to your reply. In AOL
you have to type Control-A with the cursor in the document for it to attach
the previous post.
The mail servers I use are www.hotpop.com and www.sofhome.net
To register just go to the website, read some stuff and then follow the
procedure.
Let me know if you get stuck.
