Hello. I have had my Outlook Express 2006 via RoadRunner, and have not used
it to date. I also have an AOL account I am paying for, but have lots of
information saved that I would like to move into Outlook or convert to word.
I have tried everything that I could think of and nothing is working. HELP!!
Thank you, (e-mail address removed)

Set up an IMAP account to connect to your AOL mailbox. Instructions are on
AOL's web site or here:

It's Outlook Express V6, but the way, not "2006".

Both Office Outlook and Outlook Express are mail clients. Outlook Express
is bundled with Windows through Internet Explorer and Office Outlook is,
naturally, purchased as part of Office (or by itself as a own stand-alone
application). Outlook is more than a mail client, however. It provides
many functions of a Piersonal Information Manager, such as much more contact
information, calendaring, task scheduling, and personal reminder notes. It
integrates with Office Word to provide rich content in composed mail. It
also allows, when a back-end server is present, the ability to share
information. Outlook Express can do few of these functions, although it can
interface to NNTP server-hosted newsgroups like this one. Both programs can
be installed and used on the same PC, although one will require being
designated as the default mail client.

Both Outlook and Outlook Express support IMAP mail accounts, which is what
AOL requires for accessing their servers via non-AOL clients. If you do not
need the extra functionality of Outlook (i.e., all you need is an
easy-to-use mail client), you may be better off sticking with Outlook
Express.
 
Thank you. I have so much stuff hidden in files from previous crashes it is
not funny. But am still going to need the service of either AOL or RR (which
RR is what I want to keep). Also, how do I get the AOL IMAP address? Called
them a few times and they of course keep me on hold forever then disconnected
me EVERY call. Thanx again, Lisa

It's on either AOL's web site or in the link I already gave you.
