When the rest of AOL goes down or gets over burdened.........they give very low priority to the mail servers. At least that is the way it used to be. The mail servers will actually shut down to shift bandwidth to the other servers that are running the chat rooms etc.............I had a friend who worked for them and he helped them develop the scheme that decided what was more important. It was a nightmare.............
