Here is quick way to send large attachments, use AOL!
Why go AOL?
American Online too has come up with choose after ‘@’ kind of email ids. Though the makers claim that they were the first to do it, we know that they dint, Mail.com has been offering this service from ages.
So like the usual MyOwnEmail kind, you have different categories to choose from depending on your interest. If you are interested in music, you can have a cool musically sounding email id and likewise in other fields as well. So if you don’t find your favorite name in other email services, try AOL.
Getting started with AOL :
Once you sign up for an AOL account, you can instantly notify all your friends with the new email id. This you can do by downloading the address book from your older email account. Once all email addresses are copied, AOL automatically notifies them. Added to this feature, the mails you had already received in your older email id will directly be downloaded to the new AOL account. This is done by a service called ‘TrueSwitch’. The service logins to your older account and transfers all emails including attachments to the new AOL account. It not only transfers old emails but also forwards all the new emails you receive in your old account.
Please note : TrueSwitch as independent service charges around 20 dollar/month for same but with AOL, its free.
What is it that AOL offers that is really special ?
The mail service is quite quick (again the AJAX based interface, but not as quickly as Gmail), though you might have server problems quite often. The server is very poor and most of the times you get to see the ‘Try Again’ in your browser. I liked the way they’ve integrated AIM in the service and just like GMail, it saves the chat history too. And one interesting feature is you can also send in text messages to your friends’ mobile phone as well.
