Adding a Favorite Place

As you explore America Online, you're going to find places that you enjoy and want to visit again. When you encounter an area that you'd like to return to, add it to your Favorite Places. You can even add an e-mail to your list.

Click the heart icon at the top right of the window.
In the dialog box that appears, click Add to Favorites.

You can add e-mail, AOL sites, and Internet sites to your Favorite Place list. Wherever you see a heart in the top right of the window, you can "favorite place" that item.
