AOL Conversion Software

R. McCarty

FYI:
Occasionally I've encountered customers who very much want
to leave AOL for another ISP. Usually, the biggest stumbling block
is the "Proprietary" nature of AOL's Email/Address Book and Favs.

A few days ago, I helped a customer leave AOL for PeoplePC. We
had to migrate around 6-years worth of personal data. To help do
that I found a new application for that purpose, ePreserver. Since I
run into this on more than a few occasions, I decided to give it a try.
Sure enough after just 5-6 minutes it had fully migrated the Address
Book, Email and favorites with almost no user intervention. Even
handles individual AOL username/profile data.

For anyone thinking about give AOL the boot, this little program is
worth the ~$25 price tag.

Oh my golly.. the person went from AOL to PeoplePC - Yikes. PeoplePC SUX
more than AOL. I had PeoplePC for about a year and had more dropped
connections and the lousiest tech support.

Good try, but this is spam think./ someone trying to advertise their
software and make it look like they are trying to hep other people.

I could be wrong mind you

You are - WRONG!

Mr. McCarty is a frequent responder in these news groups and you are quite
new, or you would know so.

Just because a knowledgeable person (you aren't) passes along information on
a program that he/she has used successfully - doesn't make them a spammer.
That is how knowledge is passed along!

If you knew as much as you think you know,
You would realize that you don't know what you thought you knew!

I agree - anything that helps ANYONE move from AOL to anything else is a
benefit to everyone.

I apologise.

You know this for sure then?

It is also the way spammers sell their software.

AOL is offering a good deal over here at the moment for ADSL, and you do
not have to use their software. I am tempted, I must admit, and I sia dI
would never us AOL again.
The problem is it is supporting an American company and I prefer to
support our own.

It could have been mistaken as a Spam message, but it certainly
wasn't intended that way .One thing that is done here is to share
ideas/approaches & Tools. Many posters are themselves IT or
Computer business people who experience many similar issues
or problems. That's why the integrity of answers and suggestions
are very good - There are too many folks that can critique and
correct bad or grossly inaccurate information. Next time I send
a posting of that type, I'll refrain from Web link and prices as that
probably conveyed the Spam impression.

As I said , I am sorry for accusing you for being a spammer, but it did
look like a spammers email.

I will know now, who you are, and yes I do agree with all you said
above. The web link is fine even the price is fine, but I think it just
needed re-wording somehow.
