how do i get my aol to show in my microsoft outlook?

[Nikkidee]

i have Microsoft outlook and i signed it to have my mail sent to my aol
account to show up there but it doesn't. When i click impost and export it
asks to choose an action to preform but none of them connect to anything how
should i fix this?

1. are you trying to get it via send/receive or import it?
2. did you create the IMAP acct exactly as described on the aol site? this
will bring in all mailed stored on the server.

What makes you think import and export have anything to do with it? Did you
follow the instructions on configuring Outlook to access AOL, one copy of
which can be found here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook/HA010936921033.aspx and one here:
http://postmaster.aol.com/imap/outlook00.html ? While this latter mentions
Outlook 2000, the process is very similar for other versions of Outlook and
the former explicitly mentions OL 2002 and 2003.
