Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL): checked or enabled Create an AIM Mail account using your existing iChat identifier.ĪOL offers configuration instructions for Mail and you should read them, but the short story for Mail configuration is this:ĭescription: Address: Name: Firstname Lastname and select AIM Mail from the Services menu.

I realized that you are 'invested' historically in Gmail, and that you don't wish to pay for an IMAP account from a different provider.

Gmail is not ideal as a POP3 provider, because of it's non-standard behavior.

an optimal outcome would be to forward to an IMAP rather than POP3 account.

You're on the right track by forwarding mail messages, but there are two problems: I'm curious - is this policy easily circumvented simply by using as the server identifier rather than the identifier you likely use? That's why I asked for the name of the institution: I was going to remotely test for the availability of IMAP by querying your mail server and looking at its DNS records.

Frankly, though I have a Gmail account, I wouldn't use it for the purpose you outline, as in my mind, it's a specialized, non-standard POP3 server, possibly most accurately referred to as Goofy mail because of its non-standard behaviors.

I've hear of people using Moz Thunderbird to act as an email server of some sort. mac (for its IMAP) and many of the other "free" online email servers charge for IMAP access.

Since neither gmail nor my university mail server are IMAP, I have an obvious problem (not being able to sync messages). However, I'm certain that I want to invest in an iPhone, and I'll want to take advantage of its email capabilities.
