• E-mail forwarding for a change in e-mail address?

    From Lee@DLee122298@aol.com to alt.computer on Wed Dec 28 09:03:11 2022
    Soon I may have to cancel my current ISP (AOL) to switch to a free e-mail account such as Gmail, but I'm concerned that after having to switch my e-mail address for so many things (several dozen), there will likely be a few that I end up missing, and that eventually a few e-mails will be sent to my old, then-defunct AOL e-mail address.
    Is there possibly anything at all, such as an e-mail forwarding application or program or whatever, that could somehow re-direct such e-mails going to my old, then-defunct AOL e-mail address to my new one? It would seem to be impossible to me, but I'm hoping that I'm wrong.
    Any helpful replies would be very much appreciated - THANKS.

    I don't use AOL mail, but a quick search gave a guide on how to setup email forwarding in AOL mail's web interface.

    I appreciate your efforts, but that link doesn't seem to mention about anything working for a DEFUNCT e-mail address, which is what I asked about in my original post. If there is nothing that would work for a defunct e-mail address, then that's OK, as I would at least have my suspicion confirmed.

    Have you tried to log in into the defunct email via the web interface, and recover the password?
