Haven't seen this mentioned here yet. AOL is forcing their members to pay $4.99 a month to use their email service. I've had my email address for well over 30 years, during which time I accumulated a long list of carefully sorted bookmarks, an extensive file cabinet of saved emails, and a long address book.

It's blackmail plain and simple and I'm not going to pay it. AOL has become very buggy and unstable. I mainly use it for email and occasionally the bookmarks.

Anyone here have any suggestions as to how to save and/or move my email folders, email addresses and bookmark links?

Thanks for any help.
