<<AOL does not offer SMTP service, and so can't be used with third party
(n=on AOL) software.>>
True, but I think it can be made to work. For about a year
(when my only
ISP was AOL), I forwarded mail to and from customers via Yahoo!Mail's free
forwarding service, with copies going to my AOL mailbox. When Yahoo!Mail
stopped being free, I purchased a domain and began using a mailbox at
Pair.com for the forwarding. Once, when the copies stopped arriving at AOL,
I suspected a problem at Pair. After a couple dozen emails with Pair's tech
support, I was informed that AOL has a "secret" SMTP server(s?), and that it
was AOL who had been forwarding my mail for all those months (the Pair tech
said one of his associates had spoken directly to someone "in the know" at
AOL who confirmed this hush-hush SMTP setup). I had never actually checked
my Yahoo or Pair mailboxes for any record of the months of forwarding
service I had assumed was taking place. As it turned out, not a single
piece of this forwarded mail had arrived at/been processed by Pair's email
server (who knows about Yahoo??). At any rate, if someone uses a non-AOL
forwarding address, I think it's possible to use Outlook and simply get
copies at AOL.
