OT-OE question

[dmac]

I know this isn't the OE group, but you guys are pretty helpful to me so I thought I would give it a shot.
does anyone know how to get AOL email contacts and favorite sites copied into IE and OE? I am trying to talk my father into getting rid of AOL, but due to a lot of saved email addresses and bookmarks he is hesitant. If I knew how to open the correct file with notepad I would like to ccp the info to IE and OE. I have not been able to figure out a way to do so. If I can I would immediately give him my unused Outlook 2002 to use.
any hints or suggestions greatly appreciated.

I don't know if you can, since AOL does not support OE. You might just have to "fat-finger" them into OE. Maybe someone else has a better answer, but getting rid of AOL is a step in the right direction.

Agree on dumping AOL....
On the ad's for MSN, they say they can convert all the AOL address and
messages to MSN. I do not know if its a utility or you only get it if you go
with MSN. I will try and find it again, so far, not to much luck...

thanks guys, my internet access is tied up for the next few (15) hours. If
you do find the answer to the MSN item could you please post it? I really
want to get father away from Americas Oldest Loser...
I appreciate it.

Sure will David,
This might take a little looking ( I am not on my regular PC and do not have
all the files on this one), IF I vanish and do not post it back here in a
day or so. Email me (my munged email is easy to figure out) to remind me. If
I can track down my sister, she did the same a few years ago when she dumped
AOL and it was not all that bad to do. Not sure what version of AOL she had.
