Thanks Todd.

That m.aol.com link works just fine. Looks like SWMBO can go back to
doing things the way she used to and we can now cancel the AT&T Mobile
Email service during the 30 day "free trial" period.

PS: I'll switch to crossposting at the next opportunity. I've rarely
posted the same message to different groups, but I wasn't sure just
where I would likely find folks with an answer for me on that AOL email
question.

The speed of light is 1.8*10e12 furlongs per fortnight.

Pony up the coin to get yourself a decent smartphone and access your mail
using IMAP or ActiveSync.

Thanks.

My wife is not a "paying" aol user and it seems like there's no way for
her to tell aol that certificate needs renewing. Aol seems to be quite
well insulated from communications by non-paying users.

Maybe they'll get the word from someone else, but then again if they do
maybe they won't bother renewing that certificate.

I guess wife is just stuck for now with paying $5 a month if she wants
to access her aol email from her att cellphone.

No, AOL needs to renew its certificate.

It's not whether you win or lose, but how you place the blame.

My wife had been accessing her AOL email from her cellphone by going to
www.aol.com and logging in with her AOL username and password. She'd
been doing that for about a year.

Beginning sometime yesterday May 30, 2012 she can't do that anymore.

She can still get onto www.aol.com, but after she selects "Mail" and
enters her AOL user name and password she gets a message telling her
that the certificate for the web address her phone is trying to reach
has expired.

So, her only alternative was to use "att mobile email" to reach her AOL
email, and att will be tacking another $5 a month onto our bill for that
service.

Am I missing something or is this just another egregious way for att to
pick up a few more dollars from their customers who want to keep using
their AOL email accounts?

Thanks guys,

Jeff
