Today, we're pleased to introduce the latest addition to the AOL Webmail plug-in gallery: Truveo Video Search. This new plug-in lets you use the Web's most comprehensive video search engine to search through over 320 million videos. With Truveo, the vast universe of online videos – from viral videos on YouTube to news and TV clips from the world's leading news and entertainment resources -- are all available in one place and at your finger tips.
What better environment than Webmail to search, discover and then share your favorite videos with your friends. Spread the wealth and email your favorite links!
How do you add Truveo to your sidebar? Very simple: Click on the "+" button at the top of the sidebar. You will see various tabs for different categories of plug-ins. Truveo is conveniently located in the default Featured category. Simply click "Add it" and you are done.
The Truveo plug-in will display a number of videos by default, using the standard Truveo video ranking algorithm. Type some keywords in the search bar, and start watching your favorite music, news, sports or any other videos. All right there within your mailbox.
This plug-in was developed by the Truveo team using Truveo's standard open API. The Truveo API, is available for free and can be integrated on any websites. More information at: http://developer.truveo.com.
We hope you enjoy the new Truveo plug-in. Let us know what you think!

1. I'm unable to send email, My pop up blocker is off. I'm using firefox. When I send mail it says "The message was not sent because of an error.The message cannot be sent.If this problem continues, please see our technical support information."I haven't tried to send anything with attachments. I've complied with the instructions and even did the challenge where I type a code in to be able to send email but it's still not working. Don't know why. I'm using the free email.

2. I'm unable to send email, it keeps saying. "The message was not sent because of an error.The message cannot be sent.If this problem continues, please see our technical support information." I disabled pop up blockers and did the code challenge and verified it. It said I can send mail now but it just keeps saying that message and doesn't allow me to email.

3. @jbarrett81: This should have been a temporary issue. If the problem continues to exist, try "shift-click" on "Help" (upper right corner) and then "Reset" your mailbox state (don't worry, nothing will happen to your data). Then try again. You can also try http://basic.webmail.aol.com to see if it's the same problem there. Feel free to comment here again if the problem exists (or send a mail from a different account (if you have) to me: marcelbmbecker(at)aol.com)

7. Hi,
I have over 11,000 emails (all read) in my inbox. The system says that is too many emails to select and delete, either via the single check box at the top or if I use the shift key and select just a month's worth to delete.
Is there another way to delete these other than one by one?
Thank you.

8. @hdbrigham: Try marking them and them drag'n'drop them to the trash folder. I haven't tested this though. It this also doesn't work I think your only option is to delete in junks (ie: select like 2-3 pages and then delete.

10. @Keith Mitchell: How is this exactly manifesting itself? Ie: Are you getting error messages? What exactly are you trying to do - and where - and what exactly does not work?

15. Hello! I know this blog entry is talking about the plug-ins in AOL Webmail, but I wanted to find out more about the AOL Webmail plug-in for Internet Explorer that someone was talking about on here a few weeks ago. I would really love to be able to click on an email link on a website and have the AOL Webmail page pop up instead of Outlook or another email service. Does that plug-in really exist and where can I get it? Thanks for reading my comment!

18. Sorry if this comment isn't relevant, but I didn't know where to post as other entries don't allow comment posting. How can I export my address book for personal backup? I see a link allowing import, but there is no export. Surely there should be something.
And before I go, let me appreciate your efforts AIM mail team. You guys are doing a great job and I still don't see reason to defect to some leading online mail providers. (you know who...) Keep up tthe great job!

19. @kartikshankar: We are currently working on offering a direct export function. However in the meantime you might want to try our brand new sync feature (http://aolsync.aol.com) You can sync over the air completely hassle free with almost any device. In addition you can sync with desktop applications like Outlook etc. I admit it's a bit overkill if you just want to export the data - but maybe you find something useful there.

20. I do have the box checked in Settings to "enable rich text". When I type a letter, the toolbar in the message window says Arial 10pt, and it looks fine. But it is actually 11 pt and displays too large, when I sender reads it. I must remember to highlight everything, change the point size to 12 pt, then change it all back to 10 pt.
What must I do so that, went I open a new message and the toolbar says it is 10pt, so that it will actually be 10pt? I'm embarrassed about the number of messages I send with too-large print because I forgot to change it to 12pt, then back to 10 pt, before sending it.
I really appreciate it if you can help me!
