How to Format Your Email Address
Email addresses entered on the registration form need to be in standard
Internet email format, i.e., username@domain.com.
Because your email address will be used to help find your account in the event
of a problem and for you to use AEPlans.com, it is important that you put in
your email address correctly.
America Online
AOL users often forget to include "@aol.com" after their screen name. If you
are an AOL user, please remember that your Internet email address is
"screenname@aol.com". Furthermore, Internet email addresses cannot contain
spaces; while this is allowed in sending email within AOL, it is not correct
outside of AOL.
Compuserve
Compuserve identifiers are in the form 12345,1234; however, you cannot include
a comma in an Internet email address. Compuserve has designed it so you can
replace the comma with a period for this purpose. Furthermore, you must be sure
to include your domain as well, so a properly formatted Compuserve Internet
email address is "12345.1234@compuserve.com".
Other Common Mistakes
As mentioned above, Internet email addresses must all include a domain (the
part following the @ symbol) and should not include commas, spaces, colons,
semi-colons, brackets, parentheses, or other such delimiters. Generally this
would only include alphanumerics, periods, the @ symbol, the underscore, and
the hyphen. Be sure to leave off angle-brackets that may appear around your
email address in your mail client. If you are unsure of your email address, a
technical support representative at your Internet Service Provider will be able
to tell you.
