How Aol works in Shift
Add Aol to Shift to centralize your email beside other apps and avoid juggling browser tabs or windows. Shift keeps multiple Aol accounts signed in so you can separate personal and secondary addresses without profiles or constant logouts. Use dedicated Spaces to group Aol with calendars, note apps, and travel tools for recurring workflows like trip planning or household admin.
Switching between Work, Personal, or Project workspaces returns you to the same layout and unread state. Shift prevents duplicate tabs and offers side‑by‑side or custom layouts so you can view Aol next to reference apps while composing or sorting mail. Overall, Shift reduces tab clutter, speeds multi‑account work, and preserves your Aol sessions and layout across restarts.
