Transferring Mail from AOL?
Bazooka Joel asks: "My father has been a long time user of AOL. He subscribed to AOL's dialup service about 5 years ago and created his first email account with their services. We now have cable internet from a local company, but he still pays $15 a month just to access his email. I have tried to get him to switch to Gmail, but he is stubborn. He finally relented and said that if I could forward all of his old mail (thousands of messages) and import his contact list into Gmail, he would cancel his AOL subscription. After searching the 'net, I found a way to import his contacts. However, I cannot find a program that will forward all of his old mail. Can anybody lend me a hand?"
Tell your dad to get hip and start IMing, e-mail is SOOOOO out these days.
Are you secure enough in your masculinity to run 'man touch'?
Outsource it, baby! I'm pretty sure that there are companies in India or Bangladesh which would forward e-mail to your father's Gmail account, one e-mail at a time!
