  When my motherboard died I was dismayed to find that my AOL email file was not backed up.  I think they keep it in a program file. 

  I know that it is not cool to use AOL, but I have a lot of inertia going here.  Is there any way, however awkward, to manually, periodically copy it to a place and format that One Care backup will look at, so at least a one-week old version will be saved?  Do other programs, such as gmail, make an address book that One Care will back up?

   'Thuse 

  update:  I found that the address book is saved at aol, so there is no need to back it up.  The email file is stored under an AOL file, where apparently it is not backed up.  By going through AOL's keyword, I did find out how to copy that file to somewhere where it will get backed up.  See
