I just called to cancel a few weeks ago having joined in March 1998 (when I started reading FR). Punjabi offered me a deal I couldn't refuse, considering I'd lose all my email. He said 3 months free, then $5/month ever after with no raises! How can I refuse?
Here's the catch though: recently AOL has started attaching flashing advertisements to your emails. Thus if you want to read even one email, you have to click and move the letter down so the flashing ads don't blind you! Now I'm really thinking they've gone too far. Especially because hotmail offers $20/year with no ads.
Comcast cable allows you to forward all your e-mails.
