  3. error ET-5005 Requested message or attachment has an incorect ID

    When I first sign onto AOL I get error ET-5005. "the requested message or attachment has an incorrect ID. " I get the same error when I access settings. It causes no further complications though, I can proceed as normal. I even uninstalled my AOL destop software and downloaded new software but the same message pops up.
    This is a new AOL account, I have been a beta tester on my old account for 10 years and a previous one since 1998. I did save my address book, favorites and settings from my old screen name and applied them to…

  6. Billing Snafu

    Out of nowhere, I am told I must update my payment information. I was threatened with termination of my service if I did not update the payment method. When I called, I was told it was an issue between AOL and a credit card company.

    My payment method has not changed. With all the threats of theft of financial information, I was not comfortable having to input the information. When I finally did, the screen presented was so faint that I had a hard time finding where to input what, and the field for the security code from the credit…

  11. Can anyone explain to me WHY I AM STILL AN AOL MEMBER? Yes I've been with them for 30+ years, but why? AOL is the worst web service there is

    My idea, (and this is brilliant, why didn't I think of this sooner) is to get a new account with a modern company like Google, ho did someone say that its free). Set my AOL account up with an auto reply to my NEW BETTER ACCOUNT WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Does AOL still do that. And after a couple months just leave AOL. Brilliant. I've been a member with AOL for over 30+years, but today I discovered that my bank (chase) does not allow AOL to access their web, too unsecured. AOL was high tech in their day, but then so…

  18. Try again later, Oh Oh OOPS and don't forget the cute Broken Robot

    I have been using AOL to keep connected I am disabled and cannot get out.....over the past few months there have been continual times when I cannot log in, or when I log in and hit my Mail box it says many funny things that just tic me off, say try again later... this now has been going on for 2 days. Looked up and read that OATH is owned by VERIZON and that they may be doing away with our emails... which forces me to get a more secure mail service. If anyone has a solution at your site,…
