Export1 Go to the beta webmail page at AOL.2 Click on "Contacts." It's located on the left hand side bar.3 Click "Export." It's located next to the 'find contacts' search bar. Export to a CSV, "comma-separated-value" file. Export this to your Gmail account.

This. Note that you might need to do some cleaning up – things in the wrong field and such. Still, it's better than manually transfering things.

Mail Fetcher creates a connection between your two accounts so that existing messages are imported and new messages sent to your old account are delivered to Gmail.Follow these steps to import mail into Gmail.Additional options: If you only want to import existing messages, you can disable Mail Fetcher after the initial import. If you only want to import new messages, you can use auto-forwarding instead of Mail Fetcher.Note: To use Mail Fetcher, your other email provider must support POP3 access and you will likely need to enable it in your account.
