Connection to Alerts Server error message

I've been receiving the following error message for the past 4 or 5 days. Anyone else getting it? Got any work arounds?

Sorry, you don't have a connection to the Alerts Server. Completely exit AIM and sign on again to receive your Mail and AOL Alerts. If the problem persists, try again later. All other AIM services will continue to function properly.

everybody gets it every once in a while..... some people get it more often than others...... we havent really figured out why it does it, or how to stop it.

its just a good thing its not THAT big of a deal tho

Sounds like theres a problem w/ the server. Nothing you can really do from your end.

I only have the one, and I'm too lazy to make another one up.

I saw that message a while ago. It seems to come in rounds...like I will get it every time I sign on and then I wont get it for a while (while meaning about 2 mts). I guess I will prolly see it again soon...

The message comes to me every now and again.. most after I've been on for long periods of time, and idle or away.

I've seen that one before, although it's usually only after my computer's gone into suspend mode, or I've been on for a week or so.

I get the same message...sigh. Sounds like a problem with AIM, doubt it would be AIM+'s end of things. God forbid AOL get their servers to work correctly. Why they would have an e-mail alert feature in it, if it's not going to work properly is beyond me. I never had this problem until I started using that feature.
