AOL 9.1 is ready for download and here’s why you should upgrade

Written by guest blogger Seth Halvaksz, Sr. Product Manager, AOL Mail

Everyone knows AOL for desktop software that combines e-mail, IM, web browsing (and more) into a single, safe, easy-to-use application with security features such as anti-virus, anti-spam and parental controls.  Although you may think you need to be an AOL dial-up subscriber to use our software, that’s not the case!  Now anyone with an AOL mail account can use the AOL 9.1 all-in-one desktop software over a broadband (DSL or cable) or a third-party dial-up connection.


Here are some of the enhancements you’ll see in AOL 9.1:


Easier surfing
- ability to browse the Web without signing on to AOL
when you have a broadband or third-party dial-up connection

Unified Inbox
- unlimited storage with an Inbox that keeps your mail as long as you need it

Flexibility with reply - select only the text you want when replying to a message, or don’t select any text if you want to display the entire message in your e-mail reply

RSS feeds - add RSS feeds to your Favorites

Instant news - quick access to the latest news by clicking or hovering over a News icon in the Toolbar

New with AOL 9.1 is a unified Inbox with unlimited mail storage. If you’re a current AOL user, you can switch to an Inbox view of your messages at any time, and with unlimited storage you can keep as many e-mail messages as you want!

You will also see improvements to AOL’s award-winning spam detection.  If we suspect the person sending the e-mail is not genuine, AOL will block the e-mail until you tell us you want to see it.

Want to learn more about AOL 9.1 and download the software?  Here’s where to go:

Enjoy and thanks for choosing AOL!

    Ref: AOL 9.1 when I forward mails they are sent blank.
    I tried "mail setting" and nothing is there to correct this.

    Why doesn't the Sent mail section allow one to "unsend" email that was sent to other AOL users anymore?  This was one of the advantages of AOL over other providers.

    I would like to know how I can get my signature block back. I lost it when AOL did an update to my email window. The upgrade took away my signature ability.

    With all of the complaining about AOL,

    YOU DON"T HAVE TO USE AOL TO GET DIAL-UP!

    Please forgive the caps, but this is important!  I have a Capitalnet account that I pay 17.00 a month for, and I don't have to worry about any software slowing things down.  There isn't any!  It's just a phone number to dial to get access to the Internet.

    I still use an AOL email account, free, simply because AOL bought out Netscape that I was using for my email.

    Also, when you do get rid of AOL software, the uninstall won't remove everything.  You need to go into the file system and remove any files for AOL, and then there are still registry entries.  If you don't know what you are doing in the registry leave them there, or get someone who is an EXPERT remove them for you.

    At one time I had downloaded the AOL software not realizing exactly what it was, and when I got to the point where I had to pay money I stopped.

    good luck all!
