AOL redirected to YAHOO APRIL 18 [Grouped topic]

Question

Hello*  What does this change mean for messaging users?  Thank you in advance*  (* Elements of politeness added by the moderation of CCM.....)

*_Francis_* · Accepted Answer

The Aol help should provide useful information. Not tested, I don't use Aol

But it says:

"Starting April 18, 2008, aol.fr will be redirected to Yahoo France. Please visit mail.aol.fr to access your AOL mailbox after this date."

Hello,
Where is the difficulty? This sentence is easy to understand!

This sentence means that the address will change starting April 18...

AOL will be redirected to YAHOO FRANCE on that date for users...

Hello,
I encountered the same problem. When you go to the site www.aol.com, you end up on the yahoo.com page, and logging in with the AOL address does not work on that site.

I managed to find the link to AOL webmail:
https://login.aol.com/

Good evening

Hello

Since several people are creating similar topics, I am changing the title of this one to transform it into a "grouped topic" so that the information (if any) can be shared more easily.

You need to open a Yahoo account; it's mandatory. Then, go to the Yahoo mail box and import your AOL emails. They will ask for a mobile number to authenticate you. After that, you'll enter your old AOL address and your old password, and you'll be able to import your emails and archives. However, I couldn't import my contacts; it keeps bugging. That's it.

Alann24 · Answer

To migrate these emails and archives once you have opened your Yahoo account, you need to add an account and then you'll be offered Hotmail, Facebook, Gmail, and AOL. Choose AOL and enter your old AOL email address along with the corresponding password for that old AOL address, and it will migrate. The same applies for contacts; select "import new contact," and then choose AOL again, and it should normally import. It bugged for me, so I entered them manually. So, you end up with two mailboxes, one Yahoo and one AOL; all the AOL archives and emails are located in the saved folder of your AOL account. On Yahoo.

Thierry777 · Answer

I have been on AOL since 1998 and I really hope that the AOL mail service in France will continue to exist; I don’t want to change my email as it would complicate many things (including my business cards).
I have nothing against Yahoo, but I prefer AOL as an email service. However, the Yahoo page for information is still better than the old one from AOL France, which was rarely updated and had outdated information.

In any case, as long as AOL in the USA exists, I don’t think our email accounts will be deleted. If AOL France disappears, there is still a way to connect through AOL US via this link:

https://www.aol.com/news/?icid=gnavbar_rootnews_maing16-entertainment

(at the top right of the page: LOGIN / JOIN for non-English speakers)
long life and prosperity to AOL! The US version is great!!!

Thierry777 · Answer

According to what I understand from reading the US press on the subject, the merger of Yahoo and AOL under the new name Oath will subject Yahoo and AOL emails to the same regime.

With Yahoo, they already have the right to dip into your emails, personal data, etc. to extract information for targeting you for marketing campaigns and sending you personalized ads via email, instant messaging, etc. (a common practice)

With AOL, the terms of use did not include this option, so to level everything up, they will send an email to all AOL users to approve the terms of use that will be similar to Yahoo's.

Therefore, I don't think it's necessary to open a Yahoo account to continue reading your AOL emails since it seems, unless I'm mistaken, that both accounts will continue to exist.

OATH includes: AOL, Yahoo, Tumblr, and Verizon Digital Media Services among others, and I think each will keep its original name; they have just harmonized similar terms of use for everyone, which is to fight against competition from Google and Facebook for digital advertising.

david90 · Answer

Hello,

indeed you can continue to read your AOL webmail via the address: http://mail.aol.fr
or also https://mail.aol.com/webmail-std/fr-fr/suite
But indeed, we can additionally, if we wish, view our AOL inbox inside a Yahoo account, as mentioned above, but that is not mandatory.
And besides, there's always the AOL USA site just in case: https://www.aol.com/news/tag/united-states/

Otherwise, I find that the Yahoo page contains a lot of info. I hope they will also integrate information from the Huffington Post in the future.
In any case, even though my AOL email address is old, I will continue to use it because it works well, and I don't want to change everything, I'll get used to it like this. However, I think a little link to the AOL webmail on the Yahoo site could have been helpful for some.

Egine · Answer

Thanks for all this information. For my part, when I type "aol" in my search bar, I have been getting the link "Aol - Yahoo" for a few days now (and now I understand the reasons), but immediately below, there's the link: mail.aol.com /webmail-std/fr-fr/suite which gives me direct access to my emails.
...If that can be helpful?

BrunodeSola · Answer

Hello,

All this chatter is fine, but in the end, on a phone, the email retrieval no longer works! And nobody indicates the procedure to get it working like before Yahoo messed things up.
I get a message saying, "unable to retrieve mail, the password for <<aol>> is incorrect." It has been programmed for years and was working!
If someone from Yahoo could indicate the procedure, it would be appreciated; otherwise, I will have to file a complaint with the gendarmerie because it's simply theft and diversion of mail. And I can guarantee you that the law is very clear on this issue.
Looking forward to a response
Thank you

quesako78 · Answer

Hello to the Aoliens,If I understood correctly, you are unable to access your email on your phone "because the AOL password is incorrect." I also had these issues and after several attempts I succeeded. Go figure why!As for me, this morning my "read" emails ended up in my "deleted" emails. Thankfully I hadn’t emptied that folder in the trash. How did that happen? Has it happened to any of you?Thank you for your reply.

edogafiz · Answer

Hello. The AOL email address is being phased out. It's becoming increasingly difficult to connect to it. Even AOL USA no longer works, we end up on Yahoo. Shameful.

We received the email from AOL this evening regarding the acceptance of the new terms and conditions.
In the middle of this email, it says 'Click here to get started.': we click on it, enter our AOL email credentials, and then we are redirected to Yahoo.fr, and nothing happens there. Does it happen the same way for you? If so, what should we do? Thank you for your help.

Jean42400 · Answer

Good evening, AOL wants more, but it's always busy; it still remains in America. I think it has recovered some money at the same time.  Call back  We pay by the hour; the internet was the first American to be established in several countries.  Now it's unlimited. It hasn't been able to adapt and has lost three-quarters of its clients.  It still remains in America, but quite low.

CatAstrof · Answer

Good evening  It is impossible to validate the conditions, but by going on Twitter, we see that it's chaos and there is a problem on their side.

Fayriblue · Answer

Good evening  I also received the email from AOL informing me that after May 25th, I will have to accept the new terms of their merger with Yahoo. Honestly, when I read all the information, I’m not sure if I will stay with them because I don’t want my personal data shared with third parties or who knows who!!! From what I've read, it’s not very reassuring at all and on top of that they might charge for accessing your email, which is currently free. I think I’m going to close my account and create a new address elsewhere. It’s a shame because I’ve been with them for years and I don’t think I’ll be the only one leaving. It reminds me of TF1 trying to charge when it's a free channel.

Grenoble2011 · Answer

Good evening,
I received today the letter from AOL to accept the new Terms of Service before May 25.
But it's impossible for me because, unlike others, there was no validation button at the bottom of the letter.
What should I do?
And what about those who will be away for a week in a dead zone or a corner of the world without internet?

BrunodeSola · Answer

Here’s how I fixed the problem:  First of all, remove all your old shortcuts to AOL (which are full of cookies) then clean with cc cleaner, the historical caches, etc.... Go to the internet and search for AOL news, etc.... (in English) there you will be directed to a page explaining OATH and you'll see in the text it says, "it seems that you are using AOL in France" change that to French from Canada (from the drop-down menu) and scroll all the way down this page and accept. you will then be directed to a page in English but at least you have access to your emails! and from my point of view that's all I'm interested in, after the news, nothing to do!

Cheval75 · Answer

Hello,  I received the same email last night asking me to accept AOL's new terms and conditions.

Don't forget to log out for those who have multiple AOL addresses, and repeat the same tactic each time :/

The ideal afterwards is to group everything on Thunderbird ] on PC or mobile, it's simpler and automatic.

fuveau21 · Answer

Hello, I have been using AOL Mail for several years; I received a message from Oath containing the following lines:  " In order to continue accessing your AOL Mail account after May 25, 2018, you will need to confirm that you accept the Terms of Service. We also need a few minutes of your time to explain how we handle your data and to present you with the choices available regarding its processing.  Click here to get started.  If you do not wish for the new Terms of Service and the new Privacy Policy to apply to you, you will no longer be able to access your account starting May 25, 2018. If you wish to keep the content of your mail account, you can obtain a copy of your data by clicking here. "  Does this mean that starting May 25, 2018, I won't be able to access my AOL Mail (the message refers to the AOL account and not the AOL Mail unless they are the same) if I do not accept the new Terms of Service? Furthermore, it is requested to accept the Terms of Service, but I did not understand how to do so.  Thank you in advance for your help  Best regards Fuveau21

Can someone tell me how to accept the new Terms of Use before May 25th in order to use AOL without any issues, as my AOL email is the one I provide most often? Additionally, I'm not the only one in my family using an AOL.com address. I sent an email to AOL but have not received a response yet. Moreover, I received an email last night and since then I’m completely lost.

Digodom · Answer

Good evening, I am somewhat "relieved" to see that I am not the only one being redirected to Yahoo when clicking on the links from the infamous email of May 21! As other internet users have already mentioned, those unfortunate souls on vacation without internet or in dead zones are likely to have quite a shock upon their return! Shameful: 4 days to respond! Like many of you, I replied to the email, and I also filled out a questionnaire on AOL assistance, but no response so far. So, I reread the email. It states: "In order to continue accessing your AOL Mail account after May 25, 2018, you will need to confirm that you accept the Terms of Service." The "you will need to" and not "you must" leads me to believe that we might receive another email with a click to accept. Let's hope so! In any case, if we lose our messaging service, if we're going to recreate an account elsewhere, we might as well do it with the competitors, because right now... no consideration at all!!

anonyme · Answer

NOTHING WORKS on AOL anymore for the past 2 days.  The AOL logins are now redirected to Yahoo and it's impossible to enter the AOL logins.  AOL has reported that you need to accept the new terms and conditions of OATH (Yahoo + AOL combined) to access it again. However, nowhere is there any information on how to validate these damn terms and conditions. No validation button. So we're stuck!  AOL is completely ABSENT! Terrible service! They don't respond to any requests.

Here is the email I sent to AOL:  Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you regarding the changes on May 25, 2018, at AOL. I have received the email about the acceptance of the new Terms of Service... however, apart from the explanatory links to the new Terms of Service, privacy policy... and a link that leads directly to the Yahoo France homepage, there is no link that offers acceptance of the Terms of Service. Do I need to create a Yahoo account? Will my ***@*** still be valid or will it become obsolete? Should we simply wait until May 25, 2018, to accept the new Terms of Service? What are the explicit steps to follow? Thank you in advance for the helpful answers you can provide to clarify this highly anxious situation that many AOL users have been experiencing lately.  Here is the response I received from Oath 10 minutes ago, in case it might be useful for someone...:  I understand that you tried to consent to the new Terms of Service and the new Privacy Policy, but an error occurred and you were redirected back to the beginning. It is possible that you successfully accepted the new terms or that the issue is temporary.  Try logging back into your account. If you do not see the terms, you have successfully accepted them. If they are displayed, go ahead, review them, and try accepting the terms again.  If the problem persists, there is likely an issue with your internet browser. You can try logging in with another browser to resolve the problem.  Sincerely,  The Oath Privacy Team  For my part, this is not very useful. Since today, I get a page asking me to accept every time I log in, but it reappears at every new login, so how can I know if I have actually accepted them...? I hope everything will work correctly on the 25th, especially since I am going abroad that very day. I have no issues with my emails, just a concern about what will follow on May 25...

fantevi · Answer

SOLUTION.  Good evening, I found a solution, here’s how I did it.   - Create a Yahoo account (make sure to have your mobile phone with you as they will send you a code to register).  - You will receive a welcome message.  - Click on your messaging.  - In your messaging, go to the settings menu (the gear on the right).  - Go to the bottom of this page and choose .. other settings (at the very bottom).  - On the left in the dropdown menu "customize inbox", click on "Mailbox".  - Then click on: add a mailbox (blue square).  - Click on the AOL logo and enter your AOL address. and validate.  This way you will have  2 mailboxes in your Yahoo account (one for Yahoo and one for AOL) I just managed to save my messages and contacts. For your information, I have 2 AOL accounts with 2 different pseudonyms, so I opened 2 Yahoo accounts.  Best regards, fantevi

Well, even though I wasn't thrilled about it at first, I ended up doing like many of you… I created a Yahoo account… I couldn’t get the same username because it was already taken, but that's just a detail. It’s done quickly and you can link another account (my AOL account) in a few seconds, which has the advantage of keeping all your old emails and having your AOL address still active since you can check your AOL emails via Yahoo… A small downside: sending a confirmation SMS for the account that "may incur charges" of which we don't know the amount lol I thank those who encouraged me to take this step, which brings me great peace of mind as well as immense relief, and I therefore encourage fellow Aolians who haven’t taken this step yet to do so. Quick, the possibility to check your AOL account, and above all peace of mind... Thank you and wishing everyone an excellent continuation. Auré

For everyone who has added AOL to existing accounts (Yahoo or others...): I wonder how the password that was previously associated with the AOL account is managed? Because we are retrieving a mailbox and not an account...

Hello, I finally managed to accept the OATH T&Cs. The problem we were facing to accept the new T&Cs "aol/oath" was due to the fact that my version of Firefox and my AOL version on Mac were not compatible. As a result, when I went to the email we all received from AOL Members and clicked on "start", and after re-entering my username and password, I ended up on the Yahoo homepage.!.!. So I went to a neighbor's house, who is using Windows and Firefox, and there, by repeating the same steps, when I re-entered my AOL username and password, I successfully reached the T&Cs (and not the Yahoo homepage) with a box at the bottom saying "OK" to validate. So what I can advise you is to try going to a friend who probably has a different configuration than yours and connect to your AOL messaging and reopen the email received from AOL Members and do like I did.

Bonsoir tout le monde, depuis hier je n'arrive plus à me connecter sur AOL, la connexion avait expiré alors que normalement c'était pour le 25. Enfin, ce soir j'ai essayé sur iPad et miracle, j'ai pu avoir de nouveau mes mails sans avoir accepté leurs nouvelles conditions. Mais par contre, sur le téléphone, cela est toujours bloqué. Bizarre, car ils sont synchronisés tous les deux. Enfin, j'attends quand même demain pour voir. Mais de toute façon, je vais changer d'adresse pour ne pas être à la merci d'AOL et qu'ils voient tous mes mails, mes photos et toute ma vie. Enfin, je voulais aussi signaler que Facebook nous fait part de ses nouvelles conditions et WhatsApp aussi. On va finir par ne plus utiliser les réseaux sociaux. Voilà, bonne soirée à tous.

Hello everyone,  I've been trying to log in for a few days via my Macbook on mail.aol.com. I can enter my ID and password, but I immediately get this message: INTERNAL_SERVER_ERROR. I received an email from AOL to accept the Terms of Service. I'm trying to accept these conditions, but I keep getting the same error message on my iPhone. Could you please help me? I really don't want to lose my email account.

Hello! Given the mess surrounding these terms of service and AOL's disregard for its users, I plan to switch providers. What do you recommend based on your experiences? Gmail, for example? Thank you in advance!

Hello,  This morning I had my emails (with new messages from my acquaintances), but my question is if I log out, will I be able to log back in... so I took the plunge, disabled Adblock (some were talking about a pop-up) + a lot of stress, but it worked again, so I think my acceptance of the TOS via the app worked.  Otherwise, it's a day of changes in conditions for quite a few things, I have a lot of emails or connections asking if I accept  Good luck to everyone.

Hello to all the unfortunate ones who, like me, are trying to save their contacts and messages from AOL...  Like you, I am unable to accept the new Terms of Use. Therefore, I decided to create a Gmail account. The terms of use are very clearly explained, and the modifications (refusal of ads, etc.) are easy to make. So, to recover emails and contacts, follow the steps below (found in Gmail's help): From Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, AOL, and other email services 1. Go to Google Contacts. 2. On the left, click on More Import. 3. Select the account from which you want to import. 4. Click on I accept. Start the import. 5. Log in to your email account. 6. Click on Accept.  Note: To find Google Contacts, click on the small square made up of 9 dots located to the right of the search bar. Best regards.

Hello, is it normal to have to accept the terms of service every time I log in to Yahoo, or is there something I need to do? It's a bit annoying, thanks.

For now, it seems to be working on my AOL mail and also for my mother's mail. I hope it continues.

Hello, Today a response from AOL:   Thank you for contacting AOL Mail support.  If you're having trouble accepting the new Terms of Service and the new Privacy Policy, it's possible that you have already accepted the new terms or that the issue is temporary.  Try logging back into your account. If you don't see the terms, you have accepted them successfully. If they appear, go ahead, review them, and try to accept the terms again.  If the problem persists, there is likely an issue with your internet browser. You can try logging in with another browser to resolve the issue.  Best regards, AOL Mail Support

Hello, In the end, after merging my AOL and Yahoo accounts, it's convenient to have access to 2 accounts at the same time and switch from one to the other with a simple click. I still access my AOL account directly, it works perfectly under IE and Chrome, but it bugs with Firefox Mozilla, without any logical explanation...

Hello,  My phone hasn’t been able to access my email for the past 15 days; it shows an error. So I tried to log in with my username and password, which I hadn’t done in a long time since everything is saved in my phone settings. But after entering my username and password, it asks for a verification code sent to a phone number I no longer have access to, so I can't enter the code, and it doesn’t offer any other options. I tried to change that phone number, but I need to be logged into my account first, which I can’t do. I’ve sent 4 messages to the AOL help page, but I haven’t received any responses... I don't know what to do to recover my emails... I'm not sure if it's related to the fact that AOL has merged, but this is a huge hassle... does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Glad62,  I can now access my AOL account directly on the computer (via mail.aol.com) after changing browsers on AOL's advice (Firefox was causing problems for me).  However, I can no longer access anything on my iPhone either. It must be a configuration issue, but what exactly??  I would also appreciate a solution!!

Bob · Answer

I'm getting fed up with these browser issues; I'm also having problems with Firefox. I have to use another browser just to access my AOL inbox.  It's up to AOL to fix the problem and make its email compatible with the most common browsers. GGGGGGRRRrrrrr.
