For the last several days, AOL’s AIM client has decided that it needs to tell me that I’ve failed to connect to its Alerts Server.
I can sign on, and 10–20 minutes later, I suddenly get a dialog box popping up to tell me:
“Sorry, you have lost or were not able to obtain a connection to the Alerts Server, and AIM was not able to reconnect after several attempts. You will not receive Mail and AOL Alerts. All other AIM services will continue to function properly.”
That’s fascinating. It’s just that, you know, I don’t care. I don’t use AOL Alerts, I don’t have AOL Mail, and I don’t understand why I’m now doomed to get this message popping up all the time.
This never used to happen to me, and now it happens all the time. Arrgggh.

Did you ever figure out this problem? It happens to me everyday now.
