Important notes:

• When you forward emails from Gmail to AOL, you may experience some delays or issues with email delivery. This is because AOL's email servers may not be as robust as Gmail's.
• If you're using AOL's webmail interface, you may need to check your AOL account regularly to ensure that forwarded emails are being delivered correctly.
• If you're using AOL's desktop client, you may need to configure the client to retrieve emails from Gmail using IMAP or POP3.
• Be aware that forwarding emails from Gmail to AOL may also forward spam and junk emails, which could clutter your AOL inbox.

By following these steps, you should be able to forward emails from your Gmail account to your AOL account. If you encounter any issues or have further questions, feel free to ask!
