You can send email through AOL Mail through a Web browser or your desktop email client.

AOL Mail is a free email service that can be accessed via a desktop client or through a Web browser like Firefox. It features unlimited storage, spell check, spam control and virus protection and email attachments up to 25MB. You can also choose different domain names for your email, like [e-mail] or [e-mail]. The mail service also integrates with the AIM instant messaging service, also from AOL, and lets you send free text messaging from within AOL Mail.

3. Click "Switch To Rich Text Editor" if you want to use rich text features like bold, italics and changing the size of the text.

4. Click the "Paperclip" icon to attach a file or files to your email. Click the "Camera" icon to include pictures or other graphics in the email. Click "Stationery" to add a graphic background to the body of the email.
