Janet, why don't take Tom's advise and use another program? I use Thunderbird as well and never never see a word of advertisement. What is there about AOL that you has you in it's hold?

I'm not Janet, but there is an advantage to sticking with an old e-mail address. A lot of email hosts go out of business, sell out, or become quirky, such as Yahoo. If one is in genealogy and leave posts or comments for others to find in later years, one wants to ensure that others will be able to make contact. There are so very many that have posted on genealogy sites and lists in the past and cannot now be contacted because the address is now dead. AOL may be annoying, but their addresses are extremely stable over time, and that stability is very important in genealogy. I've kept my old AOL address established in 1997 just for that purpose. But if one wants to change e-mail addresses, I recommend outlook.com. It has received excellent reviews. Further, unlike Gmail, it can change its listing from threaded groups to non-threaded e-mail. I haven't installed it yet, but I plan to.
