Same problem here, I've had contact numerous times allready with the helpdesk of AOL (Email, Twitter, Facebook). They keep selleng the same BS time and time again: go to WWW.ICQ.COM\HELP, AOL doesn't support ICQmail. To be exact, AOL took over Mirabilis in 1998, and part of that was the hosting of icqmail-adresses. Since then ICQ (instant messaging) has nothing to do anymore with ICQmail. That is AOL's since then.
And now they obviously want to get rid of it. Ridiculous to just close down accounts without notice. I had this adress for over a decade and is my primary mailadres. I am totally fukked without entrance. AOL could have at least inform ICQmail-users in advance, in my opinion. To give users the chance to save their important mails and adresses.
I am furious. But not so positive about the future outcome to be honest.
