AOL has been working well for me, including new posts in a thread notification. Occasionaly with AOL and other mail systems you have to go into the SPAM folder and mark emails that are not SPAM. Then everything works OK. When you constantly delete, without reading, email from a given source, the spam filter will sometimes add that source to the spam list. That's when you need to go into the SPAM folder and undo this automatic SPAM assignment. No big deal. AOL's gotten to be very good at preventing SPAM from going into the new mail folder -- just a little bit overzealous, which can be undone manually.
