Filing Cabinet in AOL 9.0
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)
Posted by: quail trail
I recently upgraded to AOL 9.0. I want to move my AOL Personal Filing Cabinet between my home desktop and my laptop when I travel, and visa versa.
In AOL 8.0, I could simply copy the Organize file in AOL 8.0 and replace the copy in my laptop. But...I can't figure out how to do this in AOL 9.0. There is no Organize folder in 9.0.
Help!
Thanks!

If you haven't found the answer by now try this. Go to the filing cabinet in 8.0 and right click on the folder you want like "incoming mail" then click on "save as." You can ask it to save to your desktop and you can give it a recognizable name. Then close 8.0 and sign on to 9.0 with that screen name. Open mail then go to the "manage mail" tab. You will see "mail saved to pc" then right click and it will give the option to open a file or folder then you just direct it to the file you saved to your desktop. That should do it. I struggle with this type of thing each time I upgrade since I always forget what I did by the time I upgrade again. You would think AOL would realize that people want to do this and that they wouldn't have put their mail into the filing cabinet in the first place if they didn't need to save that specific mail. They should have automatically exported everything to the upgrade. Well like I said, I go through this manually with every upgrade. Maybe by AOL 15 New and Improved and Optimized with Lemon Fresh Scent they will get it.
I am editing this just to add that if you have removable media on both the laptop and desk top computer you can transfer the files that way using the file you saved to your desktop (*.pfc). Then follow the appropriate steps above. The other option is to e-mail the one *.pfc file to yourself from one computer to the other, but the uploading and downloading from e-mail might take a prohibitively long time depending on how many e-mails are in the *.pfc. Anyway, I hope this was all clear. Good luck.
