Why people switch to Curo
- AOL sorts nothing for you beyond catching spam; Curo scores every message on whether it actually needs you.
- Your AOL account joins every other mailbox you use in one triaged, unified inbox.
- Replies are drafted in your voice instead of left for you to type from scratch.
- A teaching loop keeps sharpening what counts as important to you specifically.
AOL Mail still does the basic job of sending and receiving reliably, and there's no reason to give it up. Curo reads your AOL mail alongside everything else you use and does the triage and drafting AOL was never built to do.
Questions
Does AOL Mail still work with third-party email clients?
Yes. AOL supports IMAP access with an app password, and Curo connects this way in minutes.
Will I lose AOL's spam filtering if I use Curo?
No. AOL's own spam filtering still runs before Curo ever sees your mail. Curo adds AI triage on top of what makes it through.
Can Curo manage my AOL account alongside other providers?
Yes. Curo unifies AOL with Gmail, Outlook, or any other account into one prioritized inbox.
Do I need a paid AOL plan to connect to Curo?
No. A free AOL Mail account with an app password generated is enough to connect.
