How to Integrate AOL Mail With GMail
There are a couple of ways to Integrate your AOL Mail account with your Gmail account. If you're making the switch from AOL Mail to Gmail, you can utilize a handy feature that allows you to import your AOL mail and contacts. You can also forward incoming mail for 30 days, giving you time to give your new Gmail address to all your contacts. If you want to keep your AOL Mail account but utilize one in-box, you can set up the Mail Fetcher service from Gmail. Your AOL Mail will be downloaded to your Gmail inbox.
