How to Move From AOL Mail to Gmail
Google Mail, referred to simply as Gmail, provides a full-featured, customizable email service for free. If you have been previously using an AOL Mail account, however, you may be concerned that messages in your AOL email inbox won't be transferable to your Gmail inbox. Fortunately Gmail is able to use your AOL log in information to access your AOL account and import all of your existing messages and contacts into your Gmail account.
