Please log in for more thread options 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. Bluesman | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Verizon is/was providing new subscribers a free 30 day use of an email forwarding service. Worked great. | ||||||||||||||||

It means giving out your AOL password, which means purchases can be made against your billing method. -- Adam Bailey | Chicago, Illinois adamb@lull.org | Finger/Web for PGP & S/MIME adamkb@aol.com | http://www.lull.org/adam | ||||||||||||||||

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: http://help.channels.aol.com/article.adp?catId=1&sCId=416&sSCId=4093&articleId=217449 Gary E -- |Gary A.
