The upgrade to Vista should not have effected your Inbox.  If your messages are no longer in your AIM Mail Inbox try checking all of the other mail folders as well (Sent, Trash, Saved, etc).

No upgrade on my part.  I use multiple PC's with windows xp.  Have used the same ones for over a year, and never had this problem before.  All my messages just disappeared.  My contacts are still there, as are my sent messages.

No.  I havent connected from any pop3 clients.  I very familiar with email server administration, so that was what I thought at first too.  Only problem is, I dont use anything with AIMMail except the web interface.  Unless someone somehow got my account information, and connected using pop3 unbeknownst to me. :-(

Same thing just happened to me.  All of my emails are gone except for the ones I received today.  About 200 emails just gone.  Did we ever find an answer to above complaint?  Please help.

No.  No answer was ever found.  I wish I could have contacted AOL tech support or something... but I guess I got what I paid for with a free mail service.  The bummer is that I lost
