Q: Is it possible to move saved AOL emails to iCloud?
I haven't been able to get any emails from AOL for a week now. It would appear the server is down, so I am told. I have an iCloud email address which I have just used successfully. My thinking is that I should start using the iCloud email address all the time. I've had my AOL account for 15 years so i have plenty of important emails saved.
Is there a way I can export my saved AOL folders to iCloud? Would this be something that could be done at an Apple store with a Guru?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6), Still learning how to use a Mac!

Select all messages in a particular mailbox at one time and right click (control-click) on them and choose either copy or move the messages and select the mailbox to move or copy to. Choose mailboxes in the iCloud account, or create local mailboxes on the computer and move them there.
Example:
You could also just highlight messages and drag them to another account. If you want the as IMAP mailboxes other than the main mailboxes to an iCloud account, then you will need to create those mailboxes under the account and not On My Mac section.
So in the above image, if I wanted to move all messages from the ATT account inbox to the iCloud inbox, I would highlight the ATT inbox account, select all messages within it, and drag or move them with the menu to the iCloud inbox.
