Setting up your AOL Mail Account

Setting up your AOL account is easy. If you are not registered with AOL and are using AOL mail for the first time, then you will have to sign up for an AOL account. This can be easily done through the AOL website. There are two ways you can set up your mail account on AOL.

• Go to aol.com and click sign up/login on the main menu. This will direct you to the registration or sign up page.  
• Type mail.aol.com in your computer's browser and follow the instructions for registering by clicking 'sign up for a free account'. This will direct you to the account registration page that will be used to create your AOL mail account.

When you are directed to the registration page, the account form will need to be filled. Enter your details for specific fields like:
 - First & Last Name
 - Username and Password
 - Zip code
 - Date of Birth
 - Secret Question
 - Security Code
After you have correctly entered all required data in the form, check the terms and conditions' acceptance box and then enter submit. Your new AOL account would be set up in a few seconds and you will be directed to the confirmation page displaying your account details.
You now have an AOL mail account that can be accessed using the username/password you mentioned during registration. You can change your password by accessing the account settings in your inbox. It is recommended to change your account password every ninety days to keep your mail secure.
