Why is AOL being so petty?-lol I tried sending a email to someone with a aol account and the customer service person told me that AOL doesn;t accept our emails. So I guess what I'm trying to say is MSN is A$$!!!!!!!!! and I want a laptop so I can get comcast.net.

It was probably just a mail setting. You can set it to only do that. I have AOL for Broadband which I hardly use, but it will get mail from anyone. Sometimes it does go in the spam folder though.

That is not true, I send emails to AOL users all the time.

maybe you should check your settings... or talk to another customer service rep. Sounds like you got a crappy one.

The main problem I'm having with MSN is you don;t get some emails deliver in your inbox that you want. They go straight to the Junk Folder.

maybe its something with your web tv because I get them from my friends with MSN instantly.

My aunt has MSN and sends me e-mails on my AOL account.

I mostly use my hotmail though. It's 295 times better.

AOL periodically blacklists servers that it feels are serving up too much SPAM, for this reason it will intermittently bounce emails from certain major email providers.

Unfortunately MSN does the same thing to AOL because they BOTH have an unreasonably large number of email accounts used by SPAMMERS that they are unwilling to admit the existence of - and do something to realistically prevent.

I always thought it was easier to DELETE junkmail. I don;t need a spam filter

not when you consider that up to 30% of all internet traffic is SPAM - that's completely wasted bandwidth, slowing down every server, and every computer on the internet for a bunch of useless, greedy jerks.

I agree, when I had AOL I would have like 30 spam messages to just 1 from someone I wanted to talk to, thats not easier to just delete. It's annoying, and AOL is the worst at getting it.
