How do I export my America Online (AOL) Address Book and Email?How can I convert my AOL files, favorites and Address Book info from the America Online (AOL) program to MSN? I am switching from AOL dialup to a new high-speed connection. Please let me know. While America Online (AOL) is quite popular with a large group of people, it's also a common place for people to learn about the Internet then "graduate" to a more traditional Internet Service Provider. The problem is, AOL has lots of proprietary data formats and their entire AOL software suite seems custom designed to make it hard for you to switch to another service, as you're now realizing. There's no convenient "Export Address Book" function, for example. Search for that phrase in the AOL 9.0 help system and you'll get clear details on how to export from other programs and import those addresses into AOL Mail, but not a word about how to export from AOL Mail. All hope isn't lost, however. There are a number of different solutions that might be able to help you, ranging from the Java-based (and apparently obsolete) AOLeave suite to the inexpensive ($25) commercial application ePreserver. With the kind permission of the developers, I was sent a copy of ePreserver, which let me test out this simple application, and though you might only use it once in your life, it's incredibly fast and easy, probably well worth avoiding the hours of fiddling with free software (at least in my opinion). Here's how easy it was for me to export my address book, favorites and folders (file drawers) from my AOL account into a generic data format suitable for importing into Outlook Express (a format that MSN Mail can import, as I recall)... The first step is to pick which of your screen names you want to copy all the data from:  A word of warning here: if you use more than one screen name, ePreserver appends the subsequent data to the previous, which might well not be what you're expecting. If that's not what you want to have occur, move the files elsewhere before you do the second or third run. Once you've picked the account, you can choose which data you want to export into an Outlook or Outlook Express compatible format:  Next, choose between the two possible output formats:  If you're not sure, choose Outlook Express as it's the more commonly used of the two email programs and can be imported into a wide variety of Windows and Web based email programs (even Google's Gmail, actually). The last step might make you a bit anxious if you're not expecting it: it'll ask for your AOL password. Once you've entered your correct account credentials, the program will then actually log in to your AOL account and grab all of the information and data you specified. In my experience, this took just a few seconds, and the end result was a status report featuring the cheery Successfully imported messages:  That's all there is to it with this program. Again, please realize that there are doubtless other free or lower cost applications out there, I just chose the one that appeared the most professional, since I'd rather have it work right the first time. If $25 is too expensive for your budget, then searching for "aol address book export tool" will doubtless lead you to some other choices, but Connected Software does tell me that ePreserver is the only third-party app that can read the encrypted AOL Address Book (nice of them, eh?). I hope this helps you out!

I really am having a hard tiem in what should be an easy access to my aol email since it is supposed to be available to me even though I am no longer a member. No matter what name I sign on with I cannot not get through to my e,mail Perhaps you could transfer it to grje46@verizon.net or at least email the reason I cannnot get it. I would very much like to view my mail. Posted by: Jean at November 5, 2005 5:42 PMQuestion about ePreserver. How about importing procedure for AOL files in ePreserver? Thanks Dave. Eric Yamada Posted by: Eric Yamada at November 17, 2005 10:01 AMEric, ePreserver doesn't make any changes to the original AOL files. This is discussed in the "Common Questions" for ePreserver at http://www.connectedsw.com/Questions/57266 ePreserver can only copy from AOL to something else, it cannot copy anything into AOL. Posted by: Connected Software at November 17, 2005 10:51 PMOkay! Now how 'bout the reverse? How do export files from msn then import them into aol email folders? What was the answer to importing into AOL. i was promised that my address book and emails would be transfered from aol to earthlink and i took you at your word Posted by: gerald h hetrick at December 23, 2005 5:27 PMWhy am I unable to send. receive. forward e-mail from friends and family who have an AOL address? I would appreciate yor assistance. Rob, what actually happens when you try to email someone on AOL? A lot of AOL users now have an anti-spam system where they automatically reject all mail from people not in their address book: could that be the problem? Posted by: Dave Taylor at January 3, 2006 11:23 AMAOL is the biggest bunch of spam and crapware Dave, Bad news, Andrea. I don't know of any way you can export the data from the Mac version of AOL. Posted by: Dave Taylor at March 14, 2006 10:52 PMI'm helping a friend move from Mac OS9 AOL 5 to Mac OS/X 10.4, AOL for Mac OS/X. New machine, no version 9 on it. It turns out Apple had a tool to extract the address book to a text file - see Hat tip to EMailman, http://www.emailman.com/aol/ Posted by: JohnS at March 25, 2006 2:10 AMFree software from AOL that converts AOL address book to most PDA's and also to Outlook Posted by: Jeff at April 1, 2006 7:07 AMHi: I discovered a better (and free)way. Use the AOL Intellisync program (free download on AOL) to sync to Outlook or Outlook Express. Then you can easily import that file to another email service. I did it with Yahoo. If you search sync (or Intellisync)on AOL you get complete directions. Posted by: Nancy at April 1, 2006 4:18 PMPlease help! I am not sure of my aol e-mail address. I think it's something like tutante1. Because they don't have an opening for your choice of e-mail addresses I can't remember which it was. also can you advise me of a carrier that is friendly and gives tech support. Thank you Posted by: edwina howard at April 2, 2006 9:09 AMePreserver is ace! From viewing your page to thinking about buying and then buying ePreserver, downloading the program and, finally, transferring my aol info took less than half an hour! I've finally got the courage to leave aol and save a lot of money. Thanks Posted by: Les Leckie at June 25, 2006 8:08 AMOnce I use epreserver to transfer my emails from AOL to Outlook, how do I then get them transferred to my gmail account? And will the "From" fields still look like they originally did? Thanks! Posted by: Richie at June 28, 2006 12:45 PMi don't even have an address book once i got on rr and transfered the address book to outlook express -- i went back to aol and don't have an address book how do i get it back? Posted by: don mikulski at September 14, 2006 8:38 PMAs of May 31, 2006, AOL IntelliSync will no longer export your AOL address book. AOL sends you to the Plaxo website, but so far it only imports other address books (Outlook, etc.), and does not import AOL's. Posted by: Joan at October 3, 2006 12:56 PMYou can find AOL Downloads since beginning of the year : http://downloads.channel.aol.com/windowsproducts I'm a Mac OS X user and I tried AOL Service Assistant. It converts aol archive to Apple Mail. It works good. I try to convert my old AOL Windows version PFC to MBOX format. I tried AOL-Dump, AOL Leave,... frewares. But there several problems with date format and characters, because I'm French. I don't find any solution with Windows version. I'll give informations if I succeed. See you soon. Posted by: Yves at October 18, 2006 7:40 AMHow can I copy or transfer my info in my old AOL screen name to a new screen name in same account to a new aAOL screen name? Hi Dave.

Posted by: Jackie at March 29, 2007 11:34 AMI want to transfer my AOL filing cabinet from my old PC (windows XP)to my new PC (Vista) where I already installed AOL. What should I do? Thanks, Found this Q&A. Went to the Plaxo.com site. Took awhile to get through the download, install and setup. Once I did that, getting my AOL address book into my Plaxo contacts and then synchronizing the Outlook address book to Plaxo was pretty easy. Took about an hour from start to finish, which is a lot shorter than typing everything in by hand, and now I don't have to worry about it ever again since I can keep it synchronized online. Looks like there are some other features that I'll need to try, like automatically notifying all your contacts when your own information changes. Posted by: Matt at April 14, 2007 5:39 PMDear Dave: When you are discussing epreserver you say: "If you use more than one screen name, ePreserver appends the subsequent data to the previous...If that's not what you want to have occur, move the files elsewhere before you do the second or third run." How do we get this done'??? Have new Screen Name, Unable to use as Have No Please note that specific questions about how ePreserver works or whether it can accomplish specific tasks are far better directed to the programmers / company than to me.

Posted by: SashkaPR at May 23, 2007 9:09 AMAOL Filing Cabinet Files are in Windows XP and using AOL 9, are located in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\C_AOL 9.0\organize C_AOL 9.0 may contain an A B C, etc after it, depending how many AOL 9 upgrades you have done. To figure out which installation you are using, right click the AOL icon in you Windows Quick Launch Task bar, on the START Bar, choose Properties, and the Link to the AOL folder location AOL 9.0 a b c, etc, will be noted. The organize folder contains the default backup of the Personal Filing Cabinet. AOL's default is to back it up every 4 weeks. To manually back it up, load AOL, and sign off. Click on the Read mail icon on the top left of the screen (or hit CNTL + R, on the keyboard) On the top right of the mail window, choose, Mail Options, and then Set Mail Preferences. Choose the Managed Saved mail link on the top right of the window, and choose Backup. To adjust default setting, select Preferences, after selecting Backup from the Managed Save Mail link. Once backed up, the most current file is actually saved at C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\C_AOL 9.0\backup When backing up, when I have to reload my OS, move my Filing Cabinet to another computer, etc, I copy both the Organize, and the Backup folder, Just in case. On the new computer, or new version of AOL, I manually place the copied Backup and Organize Folders, back in the default AOL Folder C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\AOL\C_AOL 9.0
I've been an AOL customer for probably 15 years but now also have high speed internet thru my cable company. However, I am leary about changing my email accounts and losing emails, contacts and info. My curiosity about this whole AOL 'free' email is growing as it would save money I'm still wasting as I keep my AOL service to keep my AOL email accounts in 'bringing my own service'. The 'free' email is also very confusing to me. Can I actually use (or keep) the same email addresses I currently have with AOL's 'free' email as well as AIM screen names??? Or will I be forced to change them as they would be 'currently in use'? I'd really like to drop AOL service but not my emails. Posted by: Nancie K at July 11, 2007 6:00 PMMy HD crashed and I reloaded AOL 9.0, but my ADDRESS BOOK is gone! (I thought it was AOL-based not computer-based.) It IS available on AOL via the Web, but I don't see a utility for transfering my AOL Address Book from Web back to my Computer. Any ideas? Thanks. Posted by: Jeff at July 24, 2007 2:44 PMHI I was hoping when I transferred my AOL account from Windows 98 to XP, the Address Book, emails, etc. would transfer but they didn't. How can I transfer those files to my new AOL? Where do I look? What do I do first? Posted by: Apres Ski at September 9, 2007 11:02 PMIf you want to use an email software as Outlook, Thunderbird, Eudora, Entourage,... instead as AOL interface, do as follow : - Open Outlook Express (for example) Name : Jo White (for example) SMTP server : smtp.aol.com (smtp.fr.aol.com for France) IMAP port : 143 (not default port) Like this, you use standard mailbox as eml or mbox format. In Windows platform, to import your AOL PFC mails and adress book, I think ePreserver is the best one, but you can try freewares like : http://webpages.charter.net/bobalston/Documents/email-extract-and-archive.htm/ How can I get my juno e-mail sent directly to my aol address just found your site and "booked" lotsa good stuff here. I have a imac, and was wondering if your knowledge extends past PCs to us Apple folk? Posted by: jack at December 15, 2007 11:06 PMQuite so, Jack. Actually I much prefer the Mac and have been using 'em for many, many years! Posted by: Dave Taylor at December 16, 2007 9:38 PMQuestion. I am presently on the slow method, using the phone..now I am changing to a high speed very shortly but the question is ..it is with a different ISP than AOL..I would like to transfer my address book and other saved documents from this ISP to my new one..I have paid AOL for a year so this is still good until March 19th..my new highspeed will be installed this Thursday, so I will have two providers, one AOL and the other one which happens to be my TV cable company..can you help me to transfer this data to my new highspeed? Regards Harry Posted by: Harry Tucker at December 23, 2007 11:55 AMPLAXO PLAXO PLAXO.......I am seeking to get my dad's favorites from AOL to his new iMac and I thought I'd mention what I did to get his contacts. In short, check out www.plaxo.com. It's FREEEEEEE. I setup his plaxo account w/his aol (on Windows) about a year ago. When he just got his new iMac, I logged into his mac; downloaded plaxo for the mac; setup the account and synced!!!! That's it. It just doesn't get much easier than that. I also did the same for my gmail account on my mac....Plaxo works & it doesn't get much easier than that. Not to mention I could "clean up" my dad's contacts finally in Mac's address book a lot easier than in AOL's terrible interface. I hope this helps someone. If anyone has any working free solution for aol favorites (version 9) to any bookmark.htm format, I'd like to know. Terry Posted by: Terry Lee at January 21, 2008 10:25 AMI solved the AOL 9 Favorites export!!! 1. Login to AOL from a regular (ie, firefox, safari) at http://www.aol.com. 2. Go to "my aol", usually in the top left corner 3. When prompted to "Import AOL Class Favorite Places", say "yes". this imports your AOL favorites. 4. At the bottom of the menu, there's an "export" function which will export to bookmarks.html. 5. Import the file into your favorite browser and clean-up all the AOL specific stuff that you don't want to keep. Voila!!!! You are done and it's free!!!! Terry Posted by: Terry Lee at January 21, 2008 11:36 AMBecause AOL does not offer DSL (Broadband) or whatever the term is for FAST DIAL UP, I had to go with QWEST. I would have PREFERRED TO STAY WITH AOL BUT dial up was becoming too bothersome. Had to wipe my drive and reload aol...how can I get my address book back...its on the web version of aol by not on my pc version????

Posted by: David Palmer at April 5, 2008 8:42 AMAs of April 2008, ePreserver supports converting AOL to Gmail. For ePreserver to work, you must be using the AOL client, such as AOL 8 or AOL 9 (but not AOL 10.) HI, HI. AOL WHAT THIEFS. BOUGHT GATEWAY LT HSN JULY 20/08 CALLED ALO FOR FREE 6 MONTTH TRIAL? JULY 22 08 THY BILLED MY BEBT CARD A MONTHLY CHARGE. I CALLED 40 MIN. LATER GOING BACK&FORTH I KEEP BEING Posted by: mark lerner at July 22, 2008 4:32 PMhi dave, after reading your interesting article about ePreserver, i went ahead and purchased it. on the first screen, it doesn't seem to allow me to type in my screename and at the bottom it tells me: "aol &/or compuserve not installed on this computer" or sthing to that matter as it is in french. is that a software glitch or do i need to re-install aol to be able to use ePreserver to get my adress book (i.e. being connected & logged in to aol isn't enough..) thank you in advance for your prompt response. Posted by: olivier janssens at July 28, 2008 6:51 AMThat seems very odd, Olivier. I would suggest that you reinstall AOL, making sure you have the latest version, then also ensure that you have the latest version of ePreserver. If that fails, contact the company and see what they can suggest. Posted by: Dave Taylor at August 14, 2008 3:23 PMcan you tell me how to export my address book from AOL to Bento box? Posted by: Nick at September 13, 2008 8:04 PMhow do i take this aol screen name (htorres428@aol.com) and make a new aol account with it.

Posted by: Dave Taylor at October 9, 2008 10:07 PMSomehow my Aol address book changed. Here is what happened. When putting in an address all I need to do is put in a letter of the alphabet and a person's email name pops up, except when I get to S. When I click on S each and every one of the people in my address book pops up, including my S people. I recently deleted all my contacts in hopes of "curing" this problem. I re-did the address book last night and the problem is still there! Why?? I don't understand! Please, tell me how to resolve this. My suggestion for exporting aol address book: Open a Yahoo email account. they have a feature to import the address book from aol. they also have the ability to export to csv file. Posted by: Bernard Nevas at October 12, 2008 2:52 PMI reinstalled aol 9.1 on my computer and now I can't retrieve my saved emails and favorite places. How do I get them back? Posted by: techconfused at October 29, 2008 3:15 PMQuestion - A friend has a MAC computer and I asked if I could use the computer for a few minutes to look up some info on sprint phones. He said sure and booted up the computer with password, etc. He left the room and I was about to type Sprint into the google browser and all of a sudden his aol email opened up and all the pending emails, etc. were right on the screen - I told him that happened and he said I must have gotten his password or something, that it wouldn't just "pop up" like that and it started a feud. Can you offer an explanation of how that could happen. Obviously neither of us are that computer savvy but I did not know the email password or even how to access it. Any advise would be appreciated. Posted by: Judy Baker at December 15, 2008 3:28 PMDave, I'm a PC tech and am working with a client to retrieve several years of messages from AOL, but can only retrieve messages in the AOL INBOX. I have set a POP3 account on Outlook that successfully downloads messages in his AOL INBOX folder, but am unable to download messages in the SAVED MESSAGES, SENT MESSAGES, or SAVES ON MY PC folders. I've tried moving one of the folders in AOL to make it a subfolder of the INBOX, but no luck there. I called AOL to ask about this and the AOL support person said it couldn't be done. I've read about an AOL sync utility, but can't locate any info about whether or not it will sync folders other than the AOL INBOX and don't want to waste my time and my client's money on this if it is just another dead end. Do you know if there is a way to retrieve the messages in these folders? Having assisted many clients using AOL, any comments I have about AOL have already been said a thousandfold over, and none of them are favorable. Even Apple is dropping DRM, but the AOL seems to resemble a black hole - they will gladly import messages into their system, but once in there is no way out. Thank you, Philip Posted by: Philip at January 12, 2009 10:22 AMI am using Eudora as my e-mail program. Can I export my AOL 9.1 saved mail (AOL PFC)to Eudora directly, or do I have to first export it to Outlook Express and then to Eudora. Also, can I export my AOL favorite places (bookmarks)from AOL to Internet Explorer using ePreserver. One easy way to save your AOL address book is to install a generic printer (LPT1:) and specify text only as the output. Use the printers control panel to change the properties so it prints to a file. Now anything you send to this printer, including the AOL 9.1 address book will land in easy to read text format in the file you specify. There is always more than one way to skin a cat. "I have been using 9.0 optimized (canada) for a few years,and have continued to save everything in various folders in the "saved on my PC" section. Over all the years, the Screen Name file size has grown to over 2.0 gb. There are over 22,000 saved files there! Each time it hits this magic 2 gb, it stops working properly, and I have had to load an older screen name file over it (that has less than 2gb). In the last week, I have had to contact aol tech service 5 times and have spent many hours dealing with this. I have asked each of them if the large screen name size is what causing it....they won't admit that may be the cause....they always say there must be a corrupted file in there somewhere, where it cannot be found. Yesterday the fix, after trying everything else, was to uninstall all the old versions I had on the computer, including the excellent Canadian version of 9.0 Optimized. I did that, and downloaded 9.0 VR (I think), as that was all I found readily available. Terrible! The new mail, old mail, and sent mail tabs in the mailbox window all are blank....no name, address, subject or date is displayed....only that there are about 900 emails in the new box. Bruce Posted by: Bruce at April 17, 2009 4:58 PMsimple and free way of exporting your aol address book:
People mentioned these solutions online: 1) aol communicator - which how I found out was discontinued and i wasn't able to find it anywhere online. And finally - HERE IS HOW TO BACK UP YOUR AOL ADDRESS BOOK FOR FREE! :))
plaxo.com - it's sort of universal online address book and social networking site. I've never heard of it before but I think I'll definitely use it in the future cuz it proved to be the only simple and FREE way of transferring aol contacts:) 2) During the sign up process it'll ask you to add contacts from various services like gmail or aim/aol. - so - just enter your aol credentials. It might ask u if u would like to send invitation to the people in ur address book - just click on skip when that happens. 3) When u pass setup process - click on "More" and than select "Address book". At this point you should see all aol contacts over there. (luv u plaxo:) 4)Scroll down to the veryy bottom of the page and click on "+ Add sync points". "Sync wizard" window will popup. 5) click on the option that says export address book (alternatively plaxo offers plugin for automatic sync with ms outlook:) - and it's free) 6)From the drop down list u can either select .csv or .ldif or .vcf format. I've just selected .csv because i was transferring the address book into MS outlook. That's it - just save that .csv file on ur desktop and import it into your program of choice. Mission accomplished.
Hey Dave - I just bought a MACBook Pro and downloaded AOL for MAC; however, my managed folders do not show up. Is there any way for me to see my folders with saved mail with MAC? I can't file any emails or read any emails that I've filed. Thanks! Jason Posted by: Jason at May 15, 2009 8:15 AMfrom I found this info in a simple google search (export AOL bookmarks safari): If you use Mac OS X, you only need one program -- the free, blissfully simple AOL Service Assistant ( [downloads.channel.aol.com] ), which will transfer your AOL e-mail, address book, favorites and calendar to Apple's Mail, Address Book, Safari and iCal programs. I may add - IT WORKS GREAT!!!!! Posted by: photodave at June 2, 2009 7:44 PMHow can I transfer mail from an old AOL screen name to another newer one I have? When I updated to AOL 9.1 somehow it was lost and I cannot retrieve my mail. Can't get ahold of AOL by phone. Anyone know of their mailing address/phone number to talk to a live person? They really, really stink. Posted by: Marge at June 17, 2009 2:32 PMThis is my question also.....

Posted by: Geri Vigrass at June 28, 2009 3:29 PMTo all of you posting to this thread. Please cancel your AOL accounts, unplug your computers completely, and store them in a closet. Please don't even think about going online again. Think of the children!

I need help. thanks Posted by: robin at November 2, 2009 10:10 AMEXPORT AOL ADDRESS BOOK AND EMAIL Based on web comments, today I purchased ePreserver. The total with fees was $29.40. It was worth every cent! Within one hour, I had transfered over 5000 saved emails and 100 contacts into Outlook 2003. It brings over attachments as individuals documents in MS Office format. All exported without an error. Okay, so it cost me 30 bucks, but now I am free of AOL forever... Posted by: Steve S at December 10, 2009 12:50 PMHi, I need to export some of my contacts from both my Yahoo account and my Gmail account into an Outlook file so my business partner can enter them into her Contant Contact newsletter. I have Outlook Express on my computer. I tried to follow the directions given in my Yahoo account but it didn't work. My husband was there and he's pretty good at this stuff. Is it us, or is there a better way? Posted by: Jo at January 16, 2010 7:26 PMIs this still valid? I have aol 9.0 security edition. Need to export, for many reasons, probably moving, but also, worried about the size of my data base of e-mail in aol, that it will exceed it, and then I'll lose it altogether! I've been trying to figure out how to save my aol stuff for a few days now and want to thank you for all the good info. I'm moving on to a faster service and had no idea how tough it would be to save my aol fav.'s etc. Thanks again, hopefully I'll figure it all out.

Posted by: Bets at October 16, 2011 12:01 PMHello dear, Posted by: JERRY at October 31, 2011 3:29 PM I am using pcpro4 macmini os10.4.11. overnite my bill pay thru Wells Fargo stopped letting me Hi, Glad to find this discussion! I've been successfully using the standalone app AOL 10.3.7 on a Powerbook G4 running Mac OS 10.4.11 for a number of years, with my AOL email account. Unfortunately, on the Intel MacBook Pro that AOL application can no longer keep a record of Sent Mail on the computer itself, regardless of the OS. (I'm using 10.6.7 currently.) Can anyone advise me as to an email application, which will allow me to keep a record of all my AOL mail- on the hard drive of the computer? Incoming/Saved Mail, Mail You've Sent, and Mail Waiting to Be Sent And to which I can transfer my current Filing Cabinet? I have many years of records in the Filing Cabinet, which I need to retain and access. I'd rather not use AOL Desktop, but rather be able to work with my email offline. I've been putting this off for years. Thanks for your time! Posted by: Bob Hope at January 3, 2012 2:38 PMI have something to say, now that you mention it, but ...
I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
