can the buddy lists be combined?
Not in the separate applications, no. But I believe if you use a third party applications like Trillian that communicates on both MSN and AOL IMs, you can.
Is there an MSN meesenger (official or unofficial) that can be opened IN the AOL explorer?
how do i download it??
Download it by visiting the download site and following the instructions there: http://ask-leo.com/d-30916a
How long it will take depends on several things. This article should help: http://ask-leo.com/just_how_long_should_a_download_take.html
If Yahoo and Hotmail are free … why am I paying for AOL?????? This is a serious question.
Because AOL is how you’re connecting to the internet. That’s NOT part of the free Yahoo and Hotmail services. You still have to arrange to get connected to the internet somehow.
That, and this article: http://ask-leo.com/are_free_email_services_worth_it.html
