Hi everyone,
After five great years working at AOL, it's sadly time for me to move on to some new challenges. I'm heading to a new position, but you'll still see me in Beta and I'll definitely be commenting here. If you figured out my email address by now, I'll be happy to answer your questions unofficially if I can!
The AOL Desktop blog will be left in the capable hands of Kevin Mayo, my boss and Director of Product Management -- stay tuned for some cool tips from him.
Thanks for reading the blog, and I'm glad to have been able to help you all with your questions about AOL.
Don't forget to try Yedda.com, where many other AOL employees respond to all sorts of questions.
All the best,
Laura Peterson
Terrie is the lead product manager on the AOL Desktop Affinity software. Terrie works to define new views of Desktop. Like the Asylum Desktop and LemonDrop Desktop. Take a look, they are neat!
Summer is a Sr. Manager for AOL Member Communications. While she has no ties directly to the product development team, she has been a contributor to many AOL blogs over the last few years and is excited to bring a non-product team perspective to the Desktop blog.

1. Hello, Laura...
I have an "organize" folder on my desktop with 379mb of mail.
How do I get this integrated into Desktop? I can't import it because I had to DELETE the AOL registries trying to get around that 9.x error where it wants to download connection files and then hangs.
So all I have is the folder. Where do I put it?
Years ago I submitted a request to AOL to have some sort of pfc export function. It is absolutely ridiculous that I have 379mb of email. When I had Juno, there was a way to export the email to text files that were neatly organized. Why has AOL not added this feature? :(

2. Hi Thomas,
I think your "organize" folder is from an uninstalled version of AOL 9.X, right?
In the AOL Desktop mail area, there's an option to import the personal filing cabinet from an uninstalled version of 9.X.
Thanks
Laura

3. Pls. tell me how you get your e-mail to say there's nothing in it if you have deleted everything in incoming mail. Mine still says 35 even though I have deleted everything. thanks
