Forwarding AOL email

June 2, 2006 8:35 PM

What is the best way to forward/redirect AOL email?

I have an AOL email account. I am trying to determine the best way to redirect mail from that account to another email account.

My current setup: I have an old iMac with an email client (Microsoft Entourage). Every few minutes, the email client logins into my AOL account and redirects any new email to another account.

This setup works ok...sometimes it gets an error message and the whole thing stops working. There is also a delay of a few minutes.

I was wondering if anyone has any other suggestions?

(FYI: AOL accounts are IMAP)

Response by poster: i had seen that before, but i appreciate the suggestion. unfortunately, that program only checks email every 10 minutes, which is a problem for me.
