Well, it has been covered in the past, but it never hurts to repeat, so 
I'll take first crack.

I don't have a really good reason other than I like the look and feel of 
emailer. I tried Outlook Express for a while, but came back to Emailer. I 
can't recall exactly what it was I didn't like about OE, but it just 
didn't seem so easy to use.
Maybe its just a matter of my using Emailer for so long that I'm used to 
it, but it does everything I want, and does it easily. But I should 
confess that I have not yet jumped to OSX either, so I'm not the sort who 
has to be on the cutting edge.

Luckily, I have not (yet) had to deal with a mail server that requires 
authentication. I guess my cable company is friendly in that respect.

As a matter of fact, I asked that very question a few months ago. After 
reading all the posts on this list that mentioned troubles dealing with 
AOL, I asked why people bothered. As I recall, the two most frequent 
answers were:

1. Have many business or personal contacts who know the AOL address, and 
don't want to lose touch with them.

2. Travel a lot on business, and AOL access numbers are available 
everywhere.
