Agree with kaptitsky, I never had an AOL account but I did have a CompuServe account, it was not free. It was by the hour. I did most of what I needed to do off-line. After connecting, the client took care of the sending, receiving with little user intervention. This reduced the amount of time on-line. I am pretty sure CompuServe had email in the late seventies. I still have some some of those shareware (back when it was really shareware) programs that automated interaction with BBS's and other services to optimize on-line time. compared to today's bandwidth, snails were speedy compared to bandwidth available back then. On a whim I checked my files, I was a bit surprised that I still have CompuServe bills on file. LOL. Perhaps it's time to toss them.
