Until I hear that AOL email actually ceases to function as an application that you can send to and receive email from, I don't see anything wrong with it.
You probably aren't very attuned to IT.
My understanding is that in order to use AOL email, you either have to have AOL as your ISP, or you have to pay a few bucks extra a month to have the priveledge of connecting to their terrible service.
AOL had a longstanding stigma among people who knew something about IT, not because of bigotry, but because it was a terrible, overpriced product.
If you're a writer, I probably don't care that you have an AOL email address, but my mind does have a negative association with it. If you're a Dunder Mifflin salesman and your card is printed on tracing paper, I'm probably going to have a problem with that too.
Often times you can avoid a lot of this headache by spending more time in design. If you can flush the project out in some detail during design, and include the customer, more of those changes will be included in the original design before you ever start to code.
Unfortunately, others in your organization will often feel like design time is wasted time. You have to be steadfast in your will to spend time in the design phase.
