aol mail and outlook

Natis Dad

I am a new user. My primary isp is aol. I want my mail to come to Outlook
too. I guess the best way to say it is, I want it to "roll over" to both.

the (insert latest virus name here) virus, all mail sent to my personal

Milly's advice is wise, but even when you follow it, I'm pretty sure you're
only using Outlook to see your AOL mail because you're using the IMAP
protocol, which leaves everything on the server. You're not actually
storing your messages in Outlook. In order to do that, you'll have to
create a PST in Outlook (if you don't have one already) and copy the
messages from the AOL IMAP store to the PST.
