I noticed their are a lot of Vista Email Versions or Beta Versions now. I use AOL as on one of my email accounts and it works the same as it ever did and I can't tell wehter or not it is a Beta or Vista version as I just use the internet log on version.

Try downloading and installing the Beta versions and get back with the verdict.

AOL 9 is documented as uncompatible with Vista currently. The temporary work around is to use AOL chat which sends signals to keep the connection alive so it doesn't time out.

You must really live in the boonies to need AOL (listed as the number one bad technology product of the last 20 years).....

I thought AOL would have been gone by now. Who really pays to use AOL? I always used it free during the pre-broad band days. I wouldn't pay a dime for it.
