Home / Answers / How do I get an AOL email address?
I’m torn between Yahoo and AOL email. My son has the former while the latter is used by many of my friends. Which email service would you recommend? Will AOL work for a 70 year old retired grandpa who’s just started to dabble in computers?

Both Yahoo and AOL are among the best email services in the world with very similar features and intuitive easy-to-use interfaces. Having said that, you should probably get an AOL email address since, I assume, your friends would be easier to approach in case you face any problems or difficulties.
Also, POP3 and IMAP are provided for free by the service. This enables you to download AOL email to your computer. The advantage is that when the messages reside on your local hard disk, they would be available even without a live internet connection. Yahoo charges $20 annually for this and offers only POP3 (at the time of writing).
To get a free AOL email address all you need is a computer with a web browser program and an internet connection… not necessarily one provided by AOL. Below are step by step instructions with screenshots – please refer these when in doubt.
I cannot stress enough the importance of keeping your AOL email inbox safe and secure. Each day I get tons of messages from desperate users who cannot access their accounts because they have either forgotten the password or are unable to recover/reset this information.
The remaining few fields of the AOL sign up form are very important and should not be taken lightly. They can help you regain access to your account in case of loss of password. Continue reading how to make a free AOL email.
