When they changed their policy is something I don't know. An important e-mail I needed for court during my recent divorce was deleted by AOL. Their policy isn't a fair one I feel. The price for their service is one of the most costly. Most people I've talked to who have AOL aren't aware of this policy. How does a person backup, for example, an e-mail? Is this possible? Vicki Vicki- There has been NO change as to what they retain on THEIR servers--the only change is that they now sometimes delete mail you chose to save to your PC and store in your personal filing cabinet in the NEW SAVED MAIL folder.
