I try forwarding my email and I get message cannot forward until I click on uhl or url not sure which at bottom of page. However when I get to bottom of page it is not there and I have nothing to click. It's asking this so that I can type a copy of the letters and numbers they ask to copy. Help please. Stuck

To forward email you insert addresses in the TO: box... Are you doing this from your Address/Contact list?

Thanks :)
I hate to tell you but AOL is a dying business. I doubt there are many here that could offer you tech support short of googling an answer. AOL's tech support is notoriously abysmal. I would look into getting a new internet provider. Be forewarned - there are many horror tales concerning people trying to cancel their AOL service and have a very difficult time.

With AOL you get whatever it is you want to forward on your screen, hit the forward option on the right hand side, either take the forwarding address off your address book OR type it in and hit "send."
That isn't working for you?
You might be getting confused because once you hit forward you get pretty much a blank screen - sort of a cover page. That doesn't mean the email you are attempting to forward isn't being sent.
It doesn't matter what provider the other person is using.

... but haven't figured out how to transfer all my addresses from aol to verizon. Some quick googling turned this utility that people use: Convert AOL Personal Filing Cabinet (PFC) Files - Export AOL Favorites, Email, Addresses - Import AOL Favorite Places, Email, Addresses to Outlook and Gmail using ePreserver (http://www.connectedsw.com/Overview/57266)

If you were able to cut and paste an AOL address book into another program/carrier I have no idea why AOL has programs to do just that.
I could not and had to use the "tools" recommended by "Karma."

That's because you were trying to forward an e-mail; the OP was trying to forward an address book.

What was the question - again?
I'd check TOS.
