Many people often have different email accounts for different purposes. You might have an email account for your family contacts, for work, for your band or a variety of other reasons. This approach to email is useful because it allows you to separate the different areas of your life into more manageable parts. If you are using several email addresses, logging into several websites to check your email can become a hassle. AOL Mail allows you to merge your alternate email address directly into AOL Mail.
