But user faces many issues with AOL or just feel unsure. That\u2019s why backing up your AOL emails to your computer can be a smart move. In this blog, we\u2019ll go over some easy ways to export AOL email folders to hard drive online and also talk about the <strong>MailConverterTools <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/aol-mail-backup\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>AOL Backup Tool<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tabset\"><!-- Tab 1 --> <input id=\"tab1\" checked=\"checked\" name=\"tabset\" type=\"radio\" aria-controls=\"marzen\" \/> <label for=\"tab1\"> Windows<\/label> <!-- Tab 2 --> <input id=\"tab2\" name=\"tabset\" type=\"radio\" aria-controls=\"rauchbier\" \/> <label for=\"tab2\"> Mac<\/label>\n<div class=\"tab-panels\">\n<section id=\"marzen\" class=\"tab-panel\"><a class=\"custom-download-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sysinfotools.com\/demo-version\/SysInfo-AOL-Backup-Tool_winx.exe\"> Download Now<\/a> <a class=\"custom-buy-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/aol-mail-backup\/buynow.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Buy Now<\/a><\/section>\n<section id=\"rauchbier\" class=\"tab-panel\"><a class=\"custom-download-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sysinfotools.com\/demo-version\/SysInfo-AOL-Email-Backup-For-Mac.dmg\"> Download Now<\/a> <a class=\"custom-buy-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mailconvertertools.com\/aol-mail-backup\/buynow.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> Buy Now<\/a><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\">Why Save AOL Email to Computer Hard Drive?<\/h2>\n<ul> \n<li aria-level=\"1\">You never know when an account might stop working or ask for verification again. Having a copy on your computer just feels safer.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Mailboxes get full over time. Old emails and heavy attachments can slow things down, so moving them offline helps clear space.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Some emails are too important to leave only in the cloud \u2014 things like receipts, documents, or personal files.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If your internet is down, you can\u2019t check webmail. But if emails are saved on your hard drive, you can still open them.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">It simply gives peace of mind. A backup means you\u2019re not depending on just one place to store everything.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\">Manual Method to Export AOL Email Folders to Hard Drive<\/h2>\n<p>The first method is the simple way most people try first. You\u2019re basically using the print feature. The second method is a bit different. It saves the email in text format first.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\">1) Save AOL Email to Hard Drive Using the Print Option<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Firstly, log in to your <strong>AOL Mail<\/strong> account.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then, open the email you want to save.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the <strong>More<\/strong> option at the top of the message.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">From the list, choose <strong>Print Message<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">A preview window will open. In the <strong>Destination section<\/strong>, select <strong>Save as PDF<\/strong> instead of a printer.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Choose where you want to store the file on your hard drive and press <strong>Save<\/strong> again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3 class=\"main_heading\">2) Backup AOL Emails Using the \u201cView Message Source\u201d Option<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Firstly, sign in to your <strong>AOL Mail<\/strong> account.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Then, open the email you want to download.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Click on the <strong>More<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Select <strong>View Message Source<\/strong> from the drop-down menu.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The email\u2019s source code will open in a new window.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Further, press <strong>Ctrl + S<\/strong> on your keyboard to save the file.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Thereafter, choose a location on your computer and click <strong>Save<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">After saving, go to that file and change its extension from <strong>.txt<\/strong> to <strong>.eml<\/strong> so it can be opened normally.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4 class=\"main_heading\">Limitations<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">No option to download entire folders together.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Print method only saves emails as PDF.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Folder structure is not preserved.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Attachments may not save properly.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">The View Source method shows raw code, which can be confusing.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">File names are not saved by subject.<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Time-consuming for large mailboxes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"main_heading\">Quick Way to Export AOL Email Folders to Hard Drive<\/h2>\n<p>If you don\u2019t want to take chances with your important emails, in that case, using a proper backup tool makes things easier.
