Move from AOL to WEB.DE
All emails and folders come from AOL into your WEB.DE mailbox. Your AOL mailbox stays unchanged, and we bring over new emails to the old address for 30 days.
The test moves the emails of the last 30 days, up to 200 MB. You see right away that everything works.
What to set up first
About five minutes. After that you only enter your two addresses and passwords in the move wizard.
In your old inbox
At AOL
- In your AOL account, open “Account security”.
- Choose “Generate app password” and enter “Mailovo” as the name.
- You enter this password in the wizard instead of your AOL password.
In your new inbox
At WEB.DE
- Sign in to WEB.DE in your browser.
- In the email area, open “Settings” and then “POP3/IMAP”.
- Allow access via IMAP and save. In the wizard you then enter your normal WEB.DE password.
What happens to your folders
Inbox, Sent, Drafts and Trash land in the matching folder at WEB.DE, whatever it is called there. Your own folders keep their names and subfolders. Read, flagged and answered marks are kept.
We only include Trash and Spam if you want. Before the start you can deselect individual folders.
How long does the move take?
Usually a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the size of the mailbox. You don’t need to stay: we email you once everything is there.
Contacts and calendars
We can’t bring contacts and calendars along automatically at AOL. After the move we show you step by step how to export and import them yourself.
Frequently asked questions
- Will my emails stay at AOL?
- Yes. We only copy and change nothing in the old mailbox, not even the “read” mark.
- How much does the move from AOL to WEB.DE cost?
- The test with the emails of the last 30 days is free. The whole move costs €9.90 once, with 30 days of forwarding, the address checklist and a report.
- Do I have to close AOL afterwards?
- Not right away. Keep the old address running for a few weeks and switch your accounts during that time. Our checklist shows where the old address is still registered.
