Q – I was using AOL emails and now my account was full of emails so I want to store a backup of all my old emails to my computer but I don’t know the procedure to export my emails into the hard drive. I do not want to do the tiresome task of copying & pasting of individual email to Word or Text Edit documents. What should I do to save my AOL email to the hard drive?

I have tried the above two methods but they are not beneficial to move more than one message file. I want to migrate multiple AOL emails which is not possible from the above methods and one by one export is not possible. Is there any other solution that can move my entire AOL old database?
