I have an AIM account that I got a few years ago. AOL gave free POP/IMAP
email accounts to AIM users. Her AOL account probably also has POP/IMAP
access. Try this setup:
Incoming mail server:
* imap.aol.com or imap.aim.com for IMAP
* pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP
Outgoing mail (SMTP) server:
* smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587.
Then download all of your email.
http://help.aol.com/help/product/email/. When you view the "accessible"
version of online email, you can print your contacts list from a pop-up
window. Instead of printing the list, you can save it as a text file. In
AOL Help, I see how to import an address book, but not how to export.
Saving the list as text may be the closest you can get. Or you can
search for more at AOL Help. Don't use Outlook. Try Thunderbird or Eudora.
Yeah but she already has a lotta emails stored in her file cabinet in aol
and wants to keep them...somewhere. She can keep the aol email addresses,
but has already started a gmail account which works for her.

Right. If I recall correctly, AOL no longer charges for email accounts, so
she can continue to use the AOL web interface which she's likely used to.
