Backup AOL Emails to External Drive – Complete Tutorial

[kiran95]

To back up AOL emails to an external drive manually, start by configuring your AOL account in an email client like Microsoft Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird using IMAP settings. Once configured, you can select the emails or folders you wish to back up and export them using the email client’s export feature—typically to a PST or EML format.
