I am unable to access AOL email using either Safari or Firefox. Is anyone else having that problem? If so, is there a workaround?

Works fine for everyone I know. What do you mean you "can't access" it? Can you not connect to AOL's site? Not log in? Not type in your screen name?

When I tried to access AOL.com on Firefox, just to see if it would work, I used my parents screen name to log in. When the log in went, the page took forever to load, and mind you I am on T3. I refreshed the page a few times and it did load. I think AOL's site just has some coding errors.

I get a "bad server response" error when I try to log in with Safari. With Firefox, it takes forever for the aol.com home page to load.

AOLMail seems to do that kind of arbitrarily.

Try changing the name of the AOL mail application to American Online. If it is in a folder, rename that folder to American Online. That's the solution for accessing from iPhoto. Maybe it will work with the others.
