I have been an AOL user for many moons and have 5 usernames(email address @aol.com),yesterday I want to make some changes,so I deleted one of them, and plan to add a new username.
Well,I found out this is no longer offered,once you delete a user name,it is gone so now I am down to 4.
Does anyone try adding a new username?

I have not used AOL in decades, but I was not aware that you could not add/delete user I.D.s as desired. You could open an account with gmail, hotmail, or yahoo. I cannot in good conscience recommend yahoo, though. it is the worst free email service out there in my opinion.

I also have emails from my DSL provider,but I dont like their website.
I think AOL wants us to pay for another account if we want a new usersname.

I am confused. You wanted to makes some changes, so you deleted one user name and wanted to add a new one, making 5 again?

So why do you want to pull up the deleted user name if you are going to add a new name?

NO,I am getting too much junk mail with one of my username,so I thought the best way is to delete that username and then add a new one in its place,the new one wont get any junk mail.
but once I deleted that old one,AOL would not let me add a new one,then I did some research and found out AOL has this policy in place years ago,you cant add any new username,if you have 5 before this policy,then keep all five ,once you delete one,you are left with 4 .
if you are a new user,you can only have one.

At the time I was a brand new Internet user, I opted for AOL. As I became more familiar with the Internet, I realised I had better options. If you like it, then keep it. It is totally your decision. I do not know anyone anymore who uses it, though.

I have basic Internet through ATT U-Verse. I have email through several free email services. I think that is what most users have now.
