Are you sure AOL is going to charge? They send messages that they will provide AD-FREE service for a monthly charge. I take that to mean that you'll keep seeing ads if you don't pay a fee>

I don't think you need to hire someone yet.

Go to the Connected Villagers club which meets on Monday's at 1PM in the Eisenhower rec center. Someone there should be able to help you.

If I understand you correctly, you have 3 different google accounts, one for each device? Decide which one of the accounts you intend on using and then change the other devices to access that account and then phase out using the other accounts.

Don't delete any accounts yet.

Step 1: Create your new Gmail address.

Step 2: Log into your AOL account (you'll need your username and password) and find the settings in there that allow you to FORWARD the emails into your new Gmail account. Also check the box to delete emails (in AOL account) after forwarding.
Now everytime you get an email it will go into your new Gmail account.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 with your second (and third) email addresses wherever they are and have them also Forward to your new Gmail address.

Once you are confident no one will be emailing you at your old addresses (and you have notified friends, relatives, etc., then you can delete account.
