Screenshot by Ed Rhee/CNET If you're still holding onto an old AOL e-mail account or using the one your ISP (Internet Service Provider) gave you, it might be time to consider switching to Gmail. Gmail offers a ton of storage (currently at 10GB and growing), spam filtering at the server-level, two-step verification, and access from any Web browser or mobile device. In other words, it's secure, reliable, and convenient. And if you spend any time at all on a tablet or smartphone, the Gmail apps provide an unrivaled experience. Migrating your old e-mail account to Gmail isn't that difficult and Gmail actually makes it pretty painless. So if you're ready to go ahead and migrate your old e-mail to Gmail,, then come back to this tutorial and follow the steps below: Importing mail Your old e-mail messages can be imported into Gmail as long as you haven't deleted them from the mail server.

This way, you can store all of your old messages in Gmail for later reference, while receiving new messages at your new Gmail address. Step 1: Go to Settings >Accounts, then under 'Check mail from other accounts (using POP3),' click 'Add a POP3 mail account you own.' Step 2: Enter the e-mail address of the account you want to migrate (your old e-mail address). Step 3: Enter the password for the e-mail account you're migrating, as well as your e-mail provider's POP server name and port number. For example, AOL's POP server is 'pop.aol.com' and Comcast's is 'mail.comcast.net.' Gmail will enter the settings of known providers for you, but if you run into any problems, check with your provider to make sure the settings are correct.

Go back to Settings >Accounts, then under 'Check mail from other accounts (using POP3),' click on 'View history.' Depending on how much old e-mail you have, the import process shouldn't take very long, and the mail fetch history should help you figure out if the process is complete.

Once you've verified that the import is done, you can remove the account from Gmail. It wouldn't hurt to leave it enabled, though, just in case you get new messages there in the future. If you're sure you want to delete it from Gmail, go back to Settings >Accounts, then under 'Check mail from other accounts (using POP3),' click 'delete' next to the account. Importing contacts If you only have a handful of contacts in your old e-mail account, you're probably OK to just enter them in manually in Gmail.

However, if you have a large number of contacts, you may want to try exporting them to a CSV file (comma-separated values), so you can import them to Gmail. The steps for exporting your contact list will differ based on the e-mail provider or e-mail client. Once you've successfully exported your contacts to a CSV file, follow these steps: Step 1: Click on 'Gmail' in the upper-left hand corner, then choose 'Contacts.'

Step 2: Click on the 'More' button, the select 'Import.' Step 3: Click the 'Choose file' button to browse to the location of your CSV file, then click on 'Import.'

Common fields, like name and address, will likely import just fine. However, if your old contact list had photos, attachments, or other uncommon fields, they may not import properly into Gmail.
