  Forwarding Emails

  How can I have my AOL Emails forwarded to MacMail. AOL autosetup only alows you to use macmail as your mail client.

  I think Martin is talking about the Apple application “Mail,” which is yet more proof of what a terrible name that is. If we can’t even talk about it without getting confused about whether or not it’s the program or a service then they really should change the name.

  ANYWAY, I have heard that putting AOL mail into Apple’s “Mail.app” program is impossible. I’ve also read pages like this:

  https://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html

  Will that work? I dunno. Give it a shot. If that fails, here’s the official answer from Apple:

  https://www.apple.com/macosx/applications/aol/

  It seems that AOL is moving to have everything work through their webpage now so I’m really not sure WHAT they want you to do these days. Hopefully that unofficial page will work for you.
