How forward aol mail to a gmail account
A blast from the past! Forwarding AOL mail to a Gmail account is a bit more involved than forwarding mail from one Gmail account to another, but it's still doable. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you forward AOL mail to a Gmail account:
Method 1: Forwarding AOL Mail to Gmail using AOL's built-in forwarding feature
- Log in to your AOL account.
- Click on the "Settings" icon (represented by a gear or a cog) in the top right corner of the page.
- Click on "Account Settings" from the dropdown menu.
- Scroll down to the "Forwarding" section.
- Click on "Add a forwarding address".
- Enter your Gmail address in the "Forward to" field.
- Click "Add".
- AOL will send a verification email to your Gmail address. Open the email and click on the verification link to confirm the forwarding address.
- Once verified, your AOL mail will be forwarded to your Gmail account.
Method 2: Forwarding AOL Mail to Gmail using Gmail's built-in forwarding feature
- Log in to your Gmail account.
- Click on the gear icon in the top right corner of the page and select "See all settings".
- Go to the "Filters and Blocked Addresses" tab.
- Click on "Create a new filter".
- In the "From" field, enter the AOL email address you want to forward.
- Click "Create filter".
- In the "Apply the label" dropdown menu, select "Forward to" and enter your Gmail address.
- Click "Create".
- Gmail will start forwarding emails from your AOL account to your Gmail account.
Important notes:
- AOL has a limit on the number of emails you can forward per day. If you exceed this limit, you may need to wait for a while before trying again.
- Forwarding emails from AOL to Gmail may not work if you have a large number of emails in your AOL account, as AOL may have limitations on the number of emails that can be forwarded at once.
- If you're using Method 1, make sure to check your AOL account regularly to ensure that you're not missing any important emails.
