You can add more than one email account under Windows Mail
(which is the email program I assume you're using), but incoming
mail from all email accounts goes into the same Inbox.
If you want to add an AOL account, see here:
http://email.about.com/od/windowsmai...access_aol.htm http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/
Note that it doesn't use port 25, so it avoids the common problem
with port 25 connections being blocked if they cross from one
internet provider's equipment to another's before they reach the
server.
You may have to ask optonline.net for instructions to use if they
gave you a special AOL account to use. I couldn't find instructions
on their web site for using the optonline.net mail servers, if there
are any.
