Cancelling AOL

I'm on the verge of cancelling my aol broadband. If i do, will i lose my aol usernames? I have my main username and then three other sub usernames under that main username for business purposes. Can i still be able to access my main username and also the three sub usernames... or, would i only able to access my main username. I would only access these then through any browser.

    From the AOL website:
    In case you move or cancel your Broadband membership you may still continue using AOL email services free of charge through any other broadband provider.

  • I don't know if you have to ask or if it happens automatically but AOL let us keep the e-mail addresses we had with them.

    If you use the "special" AOL e-mail client (as against webmail) I suggest you set up an IMAP e-mail account and get all your e-mails downloaded before ceasing the AOL.

    After doing that, my AOL e-mail has continued to work for some years now.

    Google will get you the settings.
