Gmail & fetching mail from another account

cattie

Hoping I can get some help here. Like so many others, I've been unable to access my aol email account that I've had for many years since they introduced a 2 step sign in system.

I log in fine & then I get the page that shows how many emails I have & how many, next to the little envelope denoting email. This is as far as I can go as clicking to actually access these emails does nothing. Aol themselves have been useless as apparantly they now charge for technical help. I've tried using different browsers & clearing all cookies, but to no avail.

Anyway I signed up for a gmail account & to have them fetch the emails from my aol account so I could read them. I've noticed though that gmail doesn't appear to fetch all of the emails. Whenever I have a quick look on my iphone, I can see lots of emails that haven't been collected. Because the text is so small I'm not able to read these emails via the iphone. I just can't work out what I need to do to have all emails fetched from the aol account by gmail. I'd be so grateful if anybody here can offer advice.

You want the Get all Messages option as documented here:

Thanks Neil, but it seems you need to have access to the other email account settings to be able to change things for all email to be fetched to gmail & as I can't get as far as gaining access to the aol settings I'm stuck.:(
