Some help with new Verizon DSL and existing AOL... |
|
|
Hi ~
Self-install kit on the way for the DSL, have had AOL e-mail adress
for over 8 years - can I use both DSL and AOL dial up for a month or
two to make sure my mail follows me propertly?
AOL has a light usage plan for $5/mo, I don't care about the AOL
itself, I actually want to de-install it, but I need to be able to
access the old e-mail adresses for a month or two. Is using the cheap
plan and accessing the mail through www.aol.com the best way to go?
Thanks.

Verizon is/was providing new subscribers a free 30 day use of an email
forwarding service. Worked great.

I would advise against using any kind of email forwarding service with AOL.
It means giving out your AOL password, which means purchases can be made
against your billing method.

Or even an email program. Sure.

Yes, that's one way. Another is to use AOL Communicator, the Netscape |
browser email client (program) or any IMAP capable email client,
including Outlook, Outlook Express and Eudora, as AOL now allows email
access via IMAP. You can uninstall or discontinue using the AOL
client software if you only want to get at your email for a couple
months while you transition email addresses.
Instructions for how to configure an IMAP client are here:
