Why is AOL telling me my mailbox is unavailable?

Question

I have been using AOL.com email for five years since I first set up an account with AOL as my service provider, since then I have used BT as my provider, but have had no problems for the past three years getting onto the AOL website and accessing emails from there.

For the past week, however, once I log in I get the message "mailbox unavailable due to temporary maintainance"

There seems to be no explaination for this and it has been going on for over a week now - I can't access my emails. Does anyone know why this is happening?

Answer 1

There having technical difficulties at the mo with the free email accounts, its not you its everyone!
