AOL relents on in-house e-mail rule | |
|
||
| Time: 10:43 EST/15:43 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein | ||
|
Executives at AOL Time Warner, the parent company of AOL, are no longer requiring its many high-profile divisions to exclusively use an e-mail service developed by AOL's Netscape subsidiary. This flies in the face of a directive established last May that required all AOL Time Warner employees to use AOL technology as their corporate e-mail service. Since the merger between AOL and Time Warner, executives have been trying to weave AOL's influence throughout the company's diverse array of media and entertainment companies. In the case of using AOL e-mail, the move was a gesture of solidarity behind the service and also offered potential cost savings by eliminating licensing fees for corporate e-mail software, such as Microsoft's Outlook or IBM's Lotus Notes. | ||

They don’t like using it because of the porn spam.

I mean, c'mon, how many pedophilia spam emails can you get before you just want to shoot yourself, having lost all faith in humanity?
In other news, they'll be going back to Microsoft Exchange and realizing that maybe MS ain't so bad, seeing as how MS can write a simple email package and AOL cannot. |

Apparently they are moving back to Lotus Notes and Microsoft Exchange, or maybe MSN hotmail?
I've actually seen some of the commentators on CNN.com rip into Time Warner. This was on the morning show with Paula Zahn. The comments were about the lousy stock performance. |

Perhaps you all didn't read the article.
They were not using AOL mail, but.. "Instead, some AOL Time Warner divisions, ..., were required to use a customized product developed by AOL's Netscape." |

| I use aol and I've used it for 6 years and I like the email it has. I also use Outlook and like it as well but the question on my mind is what the hell is netscape good for. |
