[Hidden-tech] Retreiving Website Email for Client with AOL Mail

[Richard Resnick]

A third and really simple option would be to forward email from the  
new account to her AOL account. Of course this is made easier (or  
harder) by the exact configuration of the new account. If she has  
ownership of the domain most domain name service providers provide an  
email forwarding option like this. The benefit is of course simplicity  
and that your customer's familiar user interface doesn't change.

Good luck.
