Check out the NEW My eAddress

Written by guest blogger Teya, Product Management, AOL Mail Team

Have you checked out the all-new My eAddress? AOL made it even easier for you to express yourself with a personalized email address. I like that you get to choose an email domain (the part after the @ sign) that suits your personality, with the same ease as signing up for AOL's free email (takes around 1 min.). Oh and don’t worry, it still won’t cost you a penny!

AOL has quite a few domain name choices to pick from—30 of them in fact. Some of my personal favorites are @luckymail.com, @writesoon.com, @totalfoodnut.com and @when.com. I can just imagine some of the creative email addresses that will ensue. Take a look at the new page and tell us some of your favorites. Let us know what you think. Here is a screen shot showing some of the new domain names you can choose:




Here’s how to get your own free personalized email address:

1) Go to http://domains.aol.com.

2) Click on one of the 30 popular domain names you want. They’re all free.

3) Register for the email address just like you would for AOL’s free email. Again, it only takes around a minute to get one.

That’s it! To use your new email account, you log in just like before (http://mail.aol.com). Just remember to enter your entire email address as the Screen Name, even the part after the @ sign. Example: chattingchuck@luckymail.com as the screen name. You can start sending and receiving email with your new personalized email address right away.

Keep checking http://domains.aol.com to discover cool new email domains.
