(SOLVED) Tool to keep a running live "sync" tween an...(ugh)...Yahoo account to new 365 account?

as this client was an oddball in the "migration" from SNET to SBC to ATT to Yahoo.

A lot of those companies that walked away from free email hosting, which also included Verizon, have just washed their hands of it all. Got a customer that had VZ email for years, VZ passed them all off to AOL several years ago. I recently found out, new to me at least, that Comcast/Xfinity Business no longer offers a free email address on a new business account setup. But they've left the existing one's in place for now.

Unfortunately this customer is of the kind that absolutely "understands" how this all works. To complicate things he's moved his business to a gmail for biz account, but using @gmail.com, so I've forwarded his old VZ email. So rather than listen to my explanation he just keeps calling support, all of them, Apple, Verizon, Google and AOL, until he get the answer that dovetails with what he believes is happening.

As did I. She recently passed away and when I had to set up to monitor her email as her executor (she was a dear friend, too) it was an interesting experience getting it working again.

@YeOldeStonecat You would not believe how many old school tricks I still use to this day lol. 25 years this year doing email support of some variety.

@Markverhyden that's me every single day, I have tried to get out of those messes by saying "no more res clients" but my business clients have it just as bad!
