Computer help: Recovering Lost AOL 9.0 Email Folders saved to My PC
Lost mail and lost signatures
by uncle k - 7/18/07 3:11 AM In reply to: Recovering Lost AOL 9.0 Email Folders saved to My PC by MocronI work with a Sony nootebook and Windows XP professional. I lost all AOL mail, all folders and all the signatures I set up. I tried to recover them but the back up from AOL does not work. There is no help from AOL. This web site is my last resort.
How can I prevent this problem in the future?

Lost AOL email files
by DFRogus - 7/23/07 1:02 PM In reply to: Lost mail and lost signatures by uncle kYou would think that by now this common problem would have a well-publicized solution. But, I have not found one yet.
In the future as a preventative measure I will not download AOL to my computer but rather simply access its mail function via www.aol.com. Then I will save all mail on AOL rather than on my computer.
But I very much would like to recover those lost email files still no doubt buried somewhere on the hard drive just waiting for the right magic to be revealed.
Using AOL since 1998 and.....
by michhala - 7/23/07 2:43 PM In reply to: Lost AOL email files by DFRoguseven as a beginner, I got into the habit of doing a copy/paste to a Word Doc of all important mail containing information I wanted to save for future reference or just to keep for whatever reason.
When I paid, I used to regularly backup their Organize, Backup, Favorites, My Calendar (more than necessary 
) for when I needed to upgrade or as a just-in-case......but don't do that as often any more. I use AOL primarily for E-Mail, and I use Outlook Calendar and I.E directly for browsing. Although the AOL Address Book is online, I also put important addresses in my Outlook Contacts.
To those of you who have lost your mail, I wish you good luck and hope it can somehow be retrieved.

This depend on you having and locating your organize file.
Add .pfc at the end and send to desktop if it not already their.
Right click organize and open with America Online after you
have signed on to AOL.
You can go to File - open - desktop - open it to organize -
right click it and click select and it will open with your
Favorites and your saved email.
I didn't need it because I save emai that I want on
(Saved on AOL) When using AOL Quick Restore you sign on and
click on Read email and a popup will come up and you should
click yes to the question.

How do you open a pfc file on a new Mac
by jbrindger - 11/25/07 6:53 AM In reply to: lost pfc files on "save on my pc" by bsshermanWe are got a new I MAC and are getting rid of our old Gateway. I downloaded my pfc files to a memory stick and tried to import them to the new computer. No dice on opening them.
We tried downloading the new AOL and it is not working. So we went to regular AOL site to see if we could open up the old saved pfc files in some sort of import function but it would not let us do that.
The basic question is how do you open a pfc file on a Mac?
