It seems AOL has taken over Verizon's eMail accounts. I received an eMail explaining the change-over a couple weeks ago and I think today is the deadline for the conversion in order to keep our same eMail address. I now have AOL mail, but retained my Verizon eMail address.
So, I just switched 5-6 days ago, but man-o-man. I've been inundated with *&^%$#%@ frigging junk eMails ever since! I mean, I must have to delete 50/day! When on Verizon's eMail system, they had a spam filter and I have to say, it worked pretty well. A few slipped by, but VERY few. This is really getting aggravating ... I mean, as soon as I switched to AOL, it's like the dam broke! It's still new to me, but I've searched around a bit and can't seem to find any sort of spam filter. I did find where I can filter out incoming eMails by address or key words, but I'm not sure what good that will do me as far as spam is concerned. Do any o'youse yahoos know if AOL has such a thing? I'm not sure how the Verizon filter worked, but it did a pretty darn good job of it.
