This is great news. You just gave me an idea how to solve the problem
of getting my father off AOL. I have him setup with Thunderbird and with
a little work I got his AOL address list exported and manually converted.
With some googling I found there were commercially available tools to
export AOL data but only one free address list converter that I could
find. That free tool didn't help because it relied on a save feature
that was removed from AOL (no doubt AOL removed it to make it harder to
leave). We both thought it was silly to buy a tool that is used only
one time so I hadn't figured out a way to get his old AOL mail into
Thunderbird. Using your IMAP method, I might be able to get his AOL
mail into Thunderbird.
The instructions for getting Thunderbird setup with AOL say to select
IMAP for the server type. If I understand correctly, I just use his
old AOL client to drag locally stored messages back to the inbox which
is on the AOL IMAP server. Then I just go to Thunderbird and retrieve
the messages from the AOL IMAP server. I will try this tonight if I
have the chance.
