using outlook with aol

[Guest]

AOL are my internet providers and I am currently using aol to send and
recieve email. How do I configure things so that email is automatically sent
to outlook and is it possible to do this while keeping my aol email address?

The answer is on AOL's help pages, Microsoft's Knowledgebase and plenty more
places on the Internet. Google is your friend.

I use OE and setup should be similar:

It has to be an IMAP account

General Tab

Use the AOL address as email address

Server Tab

Servers: In: IMAP.AOL.Com
Servers: Out: SMTP.AOL.Com
Check "My Server Requires Authentication

Connection Tab - Setup will enter any defaults

Security Tab- Should set itself (3DES)

Advanced Tab

Out Port: 587
In Port: 143

IMAP Tab

Check For All New Messages In All Folders

UNCHECK: Store Special Folders On IMAP Server (AOL Gets Real Bent On Not
Having That Set)

You should be good to go
