  • One may want to give their emails to people without access to their email accounts. Therefore, they can communicate information only by printing emails.
  • To retain a physical copy as a memento or gift, users prefer to preserve physical copies of important emails containing sensitive or important information.
  • Some may not always have access to the Internet or may wish to read their email offline. Thus, they can print the email and view it at their convenience.

Are you looking for a way to import AOL emails to Outlook? This guide helps you to find the answer to your question. Here, we are going to explain methods to export AOL emails in PST files. In addition, we also answer the queries at the end of the article.

In the early days of the Internet, AOL Mail was the first email service provider, which is still relevant today. AOL Mail is a free Webmail from the same company, AOL. After that, many other email clients were introduced, such as Gmail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.

Today, users use email applications like MS Outlook because it provides many unique features like adding passwords to your PST files, spam filters, etc. For this reason, most of the users are switching to Outlook.

Why do Users Need to Export AOL Emails in PST Files?

AOL Mail is the oldest email application compared to Outlook. But Outlook provides a better experience than AOL, which most users prefer. But this is not the only case; there are other reasons why they want to import AOL mail into Outlook.

  • To prevent AOL Mail from deleting crucial emails. You can save your emails to the PST format.
  • Outlook provides better security, as you can add passwords to your PST files to avoid unauthorized access.
  • Outlook with Exchange Server allows you to create an offline copy of the data. So you can see your data even if there is no internet connection.

So, these are some reasons to understand why you need to import AOL mail in Outlook. When you import an email or data in Outlook, it will only be open in PST format. Here, we also convert AOL emails to Outlook PST format. For this, you have methods like manual and automated to do this. We both explain them in detail in the next section.

Manually Export AOL Emails in PST Files

First, we will configure our AOL Mail account with our Outlook account by IMAP server. Then, we export the AOL emails to the Outlook folder. So, you have two stages to complete the process.

  1. Configure an AOL Mail account with Outlook.
  2. Export AOL emails into Outlook.

We explain each step in detail below, so follow them carefully. So, let’s start the process by adding the AOL account.

Stage 1: Configure an AOL Mail Account with Outlook

The first phase of the manual phase is to add your AOL mail account to Outlook. So, follow the steps below carefully.

  • Open the Outlook application on your device.
  • Click the “File” button in the menu bar and select the “Account Settings” option.
  • After that, click on the “New” option. An account settings page will appear.
  • Select the “Email” button and then click the “New” button to continue.
  • Under the “Add Account” page, click the “Manual Setup” or “Additional Server Type” option. Press the “Next” button.
  • Choose the server you are using from the server option. After that, add AOL to Outlook.
  • Enter your AOL mail account details, and click “remember password” so you don’t have to add the password every time you log in.
  • After you write the details, click on the “More Settings” option.
  • On the Outgoing server, check the authentication box of the Outgoing server.
  • Under the advanced tab, write “587” in “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” and hit “OK”.
  • Now, click the “Finish” button once the configuration process is complete.

Once you have successfully added your AOL mail account to Outlook, you will not have any problem exporting AOL emails in PST files.

Step 2: Export AOL Emails into Outlook

In this step, we import AOL Mail into Outlook using the in-built Import/Export option. Follow the steps given below.

  • Open the Outlook and proceed to the File option.
  • Click on the Open and Export button. Select the Import/Export option.
  • Under the Import/Export Window, click Export to a file option, then press Next.
  • Click Outlook file PST and then Next.
  • Select the folder in which your AOL mail is stored. Now, save the emails in PST format and your desired location.

So, these are the manual steps to export emails from AOL into PST files. As you can see, this is a time-consuming and unreliable process. To understand this better, we mentioned the drawbacks of the manual method.

Why Manual Technique is Not a Good Option?

It’s free to export AOL emails in PST files with the above option; however, it is not a perfect solution. Many options are lacking, such as.

  • This method does not allow you to add more than 10 AOL mailboxes. Therefore, you cannot import bulk AOL emails to PST files.
  • Configuration problems occur when you miss a step or have any other issue.
  • This process is long and takes time to configure your account.

Therefore, It’s not an efficient way to download AOL files. Despite the manual option, there is an alternative way to convert the emails into PST format, which we explain below.

Automated Method to Import AOL Mail into Outlook

This technique exports your emails much faster than the manual. It is because we are using the SysTools AOL Mail Backup Tool. The software allows you to convert their files directly to PST format. The best thing about this tool is you can quickly import bulk AOL emails to PST files. In the manual option, you should know about the workings of Outlook, but you don’t require any prior knowledge to use the software. The tool provides many additional features for better results.

Guide to Convert AOL into PST File Format

  • Step 1.) Download and launch the software on Windows.
  • Step 2.) After opening, log in to the tool using your AOL mail account.
    login using your aol account
  • Step 3.) Go to the backup option to export your files.

Step-by-Step Guide to Manual AOL to HTML Conversion
