Webmail vs. Outlook - Time to Change? 
What are the differences between using
webmail (email accessed via an Internet Browser) and Outlook (email
application)?
Where is your inbox, sent and user created email folders located?
- Webmail: On the Internet Service Provider's mail server.
- Outlook: On your computer.
If your email is on your computer, you can back it up. If it is on a web server, your email probably is not backed up.
Where are your address book (contacts) and appointments (calendar) located?
- Webmail: On the Internet Service Provider's web server.
- Outlook: On your computer.
You're in the same situation as you are with your email.
Will my Smart Phone (iPhone, Blackberry, Palm) synchronize with my email application?
- Webmail: No.
- Outlook: Yes.
If you use Outlook, your backup can restore all your contacts and appointments to your new phone.
Must I use my own computer to access my email?
- Webmail: No.
- Outlook: Yes.
In
general, you must use the computer that Outlook is set up on to access Outlook.
This is not true with webmail. Any computer that can access the Internet can access your webmail since all the email is stored on the Internet Service Provider's mail
server. |
Time to Get Rid of Your AOL Software?
Are you using AOL Software to access your email?
Put
your computer on a diet by getting rid of all the AOL Software. Instead, use an Internet Browser to access your webmail, or receive your AOL
email through an email application such as Microsoft Outlook (part of
the Microsoft Office Suite).
Why get rid of AOL Software?
How do you uninstall the AOL Software?
On the Windows Operating System, look for Add/Remove or Programs and Features and select AOL Software. Indicate that you wish to remove the software and you are done.
On an Apple Computer, go the Applications Folder and select the AOL Folder. Drag the folder to the trash can.

Moving to a Different Email Address?
You have decided to change from your current email address to another. How do let everyone know?
The easiest way is to create a list of all your correspondents' email addresses by entering them into a distribution list.
Once
the distribution list is created, you can send an email to the
distribution list that states that your email address has changed, what
it has changed to, a request for your correspondents to update their
address book, with the new email address and a cutoff date when your
old email address will no
longer be valid. Once the email is sent out, you may get messages
that your email is undeliverable. This may happen because some of
the email addresses you tried to send to are out-of-date and no longer
valid.
In conjunction with the email sent to your distribution
list, email applications like Outlook allow you to auto-reply to new
email messages. The auto-reply would have a similar message to the one
you created for your distribution list.
All the websites that
require an email address to communicate with you will need to be
updated one by one. Make sure that you review your profile on websites with do business with.
