  Step 1:  Sign On

Open a Report
Sign on to AOL as you normally would. Since this involves an online action, you must sign on.
  Step 2:  Go to the Screen Menu

Open a Report
Pull down the menu from MY AOL and select screen names.
  Step 3:  The Screen Names Menu

Open a Report
At the screen names menu you have complete control over parental options, passwords, and names. Remember that AOL gives you up to 7 screen names with AOL 5.0.
  Step 4:  Choose a Chat Screen Name

Screen names can be 3 to 16 characters long, so be mindful of the restriction. Your chat screen name will shield you from getting harassing email from people who abuse your screen name in chat rooms.

On the address bar, type in keyword junk mail.
  Step 6:  Go to Mail Controls
