problem with my AOL email

I don't know why, but my AOL mail won't load. For a while I could see the list of email that has come in, with sender and subject information, but I couldn't open any -- or delete any either. Now all I can see is that I have eleven new messages (at present). It was acting up yesterday and I did get to the mail a couple times, but now I can't get anything. It just goes on saying it is loading, ad infinitum.
---Anyone sending me email now, please use my cdrummbks at gmail.com address. Thanks! (I have also changed my address for receiving Paypal funds to that address too.)
