Below are some of the important features of the free email account from AOL.<\/p>\n<h2>AOL email Storage space<\/h2>\n<p>Just like Yahoo! Mail, AOL offers <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/unlimited-storage-email-account\" title=\"How to get unlimited email storage space for free\"><strong>unlimited email storage<\/strong><\/a> which means you no longer need to delete messages. However, as the more astute amongst you know, nothing is &#8216;unlimited&#8217; in this world &#8211; it&#8217;s just a marketing strategy and surely sounds better than 10GB or 100GB, right?<\/p>\n<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"bottom-ads\">\n<h4>Sponsored Links<\/h4>\n<script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<!-- Inner Page Top - Non Responsive -->\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\n     style=\"display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px\"\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1043128618639037\"\n     data-ad-slot=\"5670477364\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clr\"><\/div>\n<h2>Email attachment size in AOL<\/h2>\n<p>Email attachments can be up to 25MB in size which is at par with Gmail, Yahoo! Mail and Hotmail (now known as Outlook Mail).<\/p>\n<h2>Email organization<\/h2>\n<p>Gmail has <em>labels<\/em> (quite handy once you get used to them), but the majority still prefers organizing email messages in folders. AOL lets you create customized folders quite like Yahoo and Hotmail. This greatly helps in sorting out messages in the inbox and storing them as per requirements.<\/p>\n<h2>Filters and automated email sorting<\/h2>\n<p>If you haven&#8217;t used <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/email-filters-aol-account\" title=\"AOL filters - sort email automatically in folders\">AOL filters<\/a>, you&#8217;re missing out on a lot of convenience and time savings. Filters can automatically sort incoming messages into folders. I sincerely believe any email service or <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/email-client-use-website-email\" title=\"What is an email client and how can you use one to download and store messages on your computer\">program<\/a> worth its salt should have this feature&#8230; and all the popular ones do!<\/p>\n<h2>Spam and junk email filter<\/h2>\n<p>All email account holders need to live with one of the greatest scourge of the web &#8211; SPAM! It&#8217;s heartening to know that the AOL spam filters stand up to the job quite well.<\/p>\n<h2>Email stationery<\/h2>\n<p>Send messages in style using <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/aol-email-stationery\" title=\"AOL email stationery - Choose and apply background images and styles to messages\">AOL email stationery<\/a>. With stationery you can have predesigned images, fonts and styles applied to messages. AOL also keeps updating the available email stationery which means during November, you get to see images related to Thanksgiving. FYI, another service that has this feature is Yahoo! Mail.<\/p>\n<h2>Email signature<\/h2>\n<p>AOL allows users to create customized text signatures &#8211; simple ones and those that include images and links! Read how to create an <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/create-email-signature-aol\" title=\"How to create an AOL email signature\">email signature at AOL<\/a> for detailed instructions.<\/p>\n<h2>Themes<\/h2>\n<p>You can customize the look of the webmail interface using the available themes. Though these are not as &#8220;extensive&#8221; as Hotmail or Gmail themes, they do help break the monotony of looking at the same colors and images!<\/p>\n<h2>Messages &#8211; Instant and Text<\/h2>\n<p>AOL lets you send Instant Messages or text messages (to cell phones) directly from the email account.<\/p>\n<h2>POP and IMAP access for free!<\/h2>\n<p>POP and IMAP are popular <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/email-protocols-pop-imap\" title=\"Some popular email protocols - POP, IMAP, DeltaSynch...\">email protocols<\/a> through which you can <a href=\"\/\/www.webdevelopersnotes.com\/download-email\" title=\"Download email to your computer using email programs - details\">download email messages<\/a> using standalone programs.
