Hi
Is it easy to get my emails (I have an AOL account and AOL email addresses) sent to Outlook?
Is it really easy peasy and you techy people are laughing at me, or is it impossible?

lol.. I didn't think so! Tony my host (vshosting) gave me step by step instructions so I wouldn't muck it up. I did it all and I never use it. I still use my aol. I don't like the other one much.

it' isn't possible to get aol emails sent to 'outlook' but you can get other domains set up to outlook etc. That i am fairly sure is what Jayne is refering to.
However AOL are now putting restricions on that now and if this awful 1 cents per email thing goes through then AOL will be a bad idea and difficult to use for anyone who is anything other than a family home user.

I am now leaving AOL as they are rubbish and cause many problems with my business emails and thier customer service is rubbish.

Do you have a POP3 or IMAP account with AOL? You should be able to set this up in Outlook, but not all ISPs have them, eg hotmail, fsmail.net etc...

Well maybe you can but not for the plain webmail accounts which I have in fsmail.net. I don't know about the hotmail scenario as never had a hotmail account.
