Are you looking for answers about problems with your AOL service?

I’d like to recommend that you ask AOL directly since they are best suited to help you.

For AOL support, you can visit the AOL support site or even call them at an AOL toll free number.

Do you want to set up your e-mail address with optoonline, with a different e-mail provider or aren’t you bothered?

In that case, you may want to try and e-mail the company and ask them about multiple e-mail accounts. Some ISPs only provide you with 1 e-mail account. E-mail them and they should be able to give you an answer.
