Never got a pin, tried to resend the whole business. Tried it a few times, nothing. And of coarse there's no way to contact them and their condesending instructions make it seem like you had to have made a mistake, their system if flawless, right. Another fine AOL product, bravo!

When TB tries to access the aol server via imap it incorrectly tries to access help@imap.aol.com instead of help@ochdecors.com. I am guessing that the setup in accounts is wrong somewhere.

But I typically let my mail client pull down the mail and don't access it through the web. Haven't had a connectivity problems there either. -Ray Hi,

I will test it to see if it works. Are you having problems connecting to the Aol my e-address email homepage? I have only been able to check it once, since it was created. Thanks, Sam Hi,

You can change the password to keep someone from using it if that's your intent. They do say "currently" so hopefully this would change. I wondered about this earlier too. I haven't done it, but it seems possible to use the spam filters to handle all email as spam so it would automatically be handled (and deleted) if you didn't want the e-mail to sit there. Set the mailbox to only accept e-mail on the whitelist and have an empty whitelist. -Ray Sam,

I have a question about that particular domain service. How does one go in and change or delete it soon, (an AOL My eAddress) if it is not used alot? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Sam Hi,
