About AOL Mail
AOL Mail is a free email service from AOL. It is used mainly in the browser, where you sign in with an AOL account, and it includes spam filtering. Mobile apps are also available.
It suits people who already have an AOL address or want a simple free mailbox from a long-established provider. As a hosted service, your mail is stored on AOL's servers, and the research here gives little detail on extra features.
