Setup another contact email account in AOL Once you have logged in, click on the Options dropdown menu visible in the top right corner of every page on AOL. Verify your identity For security reasons , AOL will first confirm your identity by asking you to enter your password, and answering your security question.
Then, you'll land in your Account screen: scroll down past the second section " Account Recovery Information " , until you see the " Alternate Email " field: click on the link on the right - when you've already added an address in the past, it reads " Edit ": Type the full email address you want to add username, " " symbol, and domain , and click Save.
Confirm ownership of your alternate account AOL won't ever use this alternate account until you've verified that you own it, by clicking on the confirmation link sent to it. Note - the process of changing your contact email address is the same: enter another email account instead, verify it, and you are done!
As with other free providers, such as Gmail and Yahoo, your AOL email address gives you access to tools to manage contacts and keep track of events. Take a look at the pros and cons of using AOL for business email before going through the AOL create email address process.
AOL email has been around since the provider's dial-up internet subscription days, so choosing to use the platform for business email can offer the benefits of ease of use and familiarity if you've used AOL's services before. It also saves your business money since you won't have to pay for the service. AOL offers mail organization, inbox customization, and contact management tools that may appeal to business users, and you get the benefit of being able to add your AOL email address to popular mail management apps on your phone and computer.
Even if AOL fits your business needs, it still lacks some benefits that professional email services can offer. AOL was a walled garden full of dial-up users and the future was more about DSL, fiber, and wireless. Today, AOL is a provider of free email services, as they continue to serve a fairly large community. Surprisingly, they also still offer dialup.
It turns out I still actually have an email address administered by AOL, left over from a former internet provider. Surprisingly, the account had been managed fairly well, spam-wise; there were tens of thousands of spam emails in the junk box but very few in the main inbox. As far as basic email services, it was actually pretty functional. Please note that any new usernames will be created as separate accounts and will not linked to your existing AOL account.
In the past, AOL offered the ability to create secondary usernames linked to this Primary username, however, as of November 30, , the ability to add or manage additional usernames has been removed. You can no longer create secondary usernames or designate alternate Primary usernames. You'll only be able to delete each username separately, as each name is now considered its own account. All Primary and secondary usernames are now considered their own account, however, if you log in to myaccount.
