Hey Dave and all,
Phil is right, AOL is a pain. About 15-20% of my framing
auctions on ebay are won by people with AOL addresses. I immediately send them a
verification notice and a request for size information. After no response for
2-3 days, I email again, hoping that this time it will get through. Sometimes it
does and most times it doesn't. So, I have to go through ebay and get contact
info which is many time outdated. People never think to update their contact
info if they move or change their phone number. So, I have to mail out an actual
letter to them to let them know I received their order and have not been
successful through email or phone contacting them. On every listing of mine
on ebay, I have a note about AOL users. Obviously, not everyone reads it. Also,
I have found that many AOL users don't know anything about spam filters or even
how to get into their junk folder. I have had people swear they never received
any email from me and I take them into their junk folder and there they are, but
they claim they have never even checked their junk folder, they just
automatically let it delete every 7 days or whatever. So, I guess that's the way
it is, a royal pain.
Sue

Subject: [MOPO] What's the deal with
e-mails to AOL users?
This has likely been explained before, but what's the deal --
one year later
-- with e-mails TO users of AOL? I know there was an
issue with super
aggressive spam filters at AOL -- (and my Hotmail account
has VASTLY
improved now that Microsoft has instsalled its own filters; I
only get 2
junk e-mails per day on average).
But I've sent a slew of
notes to friends all over the place, including to
the UK -- and I get
bounce-backs or notices that my missives have been
"delayed" by AOL.
What's exasperating is replies I've been getting are
responses to mail
these friends cite they've only just received. I'm having
a "fight"
with an AOL user in the UK about "WOTW" (heh-heh) -- and he's
replying to
stuff I wrote two days ago, and the time stamps show he's
replying to mails
JUST received.
Crazy!
-koose.
