A friend needs to reformat his hard disc. Which folder(s) does he need to back up to be able to keep all his old email?

Isn't AOhell's email system web based? So all his emails would be stored online anyway via the AOhell email site?

Also tell your mate to bin AOL and get a good ISP, someone like Plusnet would be good, www.plus.net £15 a month for 2 Mb broadband if he can get it.

If your using AOL9 you would have had 2 choices when you saved any emails. I 'think' if you uninstall AOL you will be left with 2 files in your documents or on your desktop. One file will be your emails, the other will be your bookmarks.
The best thing to do is go to LiveHelp and ask them (although they probably have no idea) :hihi:
