AOL is web-based emailed and you do no need to transfer it to a new computer unless you are using outlook. Just boot up your new computer to aol. com and log into your account, all of your email will still be there waiting for you, if you are using outlook use the backup function available at Microsoft.

Your mails are stored on the server. You can access them once you set up your account on your new computer. But its kept for a period of time. If you have old mail downloaded to a folder within the AOL program, you will need to save that.

Need more info. Are you referring to AOL Webmail or AOL Email using AOL Software (yes, many folks still use it). Many use the option to "Save All Read or Sent Mail on my PC". Which are you using?

Refer to AOL's help sites on how to save your email as a PFC file and export it to a place on your hard drive. You can use a flash drive or some other media to move it to the new computer and import the PFC file.
