    Default Carrying Forward E-mail Address

    Hi all,

    My old man has been with AOL for years... I'm trying to get him to leave, but he says he's loathe to because of his @aol.com e-mail address which he uses for work.

    Is there any way of "carrying forward" this address, or having some sort of permanent re-direction?

    If so, how/who, and what costs are involved?

    TIA

    Having a look about, there are external companies that charge to forward AOL mail, but AOL do not support automatic forwarding unfortunately.

    Looks like keep the address is the best option and then get customers/clients to use the new one by adding a signature or something and of course informing them in a mail shot.
