AOL Email Addy - Unfair!!

**asidea** · 30th November 2007, 07:07 PM

No offense but if you are from the UK, why would you voluntarily pay for something American (AOL)?

I dig their broadband low paid package..lmao!!

Ty ppl for all your comments and help..looks like gmail is my next stop!!

asidea, it sounds like you're already on the move which is good. AOL really is a PITA and in a previous webmaster job we banned AOL email addresses years ago.

A lot of problems happen because someone complains to AOL about a given site, for whatever reason, and FOREVER after that AOL will reject emails going to it's "members" from that site. In other words it's in your best interest and the interest of every other CasinoMeister member _not_ to use AOL because they are effectively censoring your email simply because someone, somewhere, somewhen complained.

Needless to say this causes endless problems with registrations, emails to members using AOL, etc. It's largely because AOL is so big and so unresponsive that there's nothing they care to or will do to address these types of problems.

Just a heads up that I'll be purging the system on Friday. If you are using an AOL email address for your account, it will be deactivated until it's changed.

Sorry 'bout dat - but that's the way it goes...

Just a heads up that the purging will continue until sometime tomorrow. Those who still have AOL accounts will be placed into the Dormant Accounts section and will be unable ot access the forum.

Don't say I didn't warn ya.

And during this process, I'm rather surprised at the amount of meister members, senior members and fully registered members who frequent the forum quite often, yet they still have AOL email addresses. I've already made several announcements, I've been updating this thread, and even made announcements in the newsletter. Still there are a number of members who were here even yesterday...

Oh well, you can't say you weren't warned (unless you aren't reading the forum)

i use also AOL and changed my address to a yahoo account, but i wonder, because the mails from casinomeister is also going into spam ordner

maybe i should change it again to a GMX account what i also have ?

the mails from casinomeister is also going into spam ordner

Yahoo email is more opt-in now than it used to be. The user needs to let the Yahoo email program know what is spam and what is not, according to the user.

After you mark the emails from CasinoMeister as NOT SPAM in Yahoo mail, a couple of times, CasinoMeister emails should go straight into your inbox without a problem.
