How to Add AOL Contacts to Outlook
Longtime users of the AOL service have likely stored a significant number of e-mail contacts in their address books. If you have another e-mail account outside of AOL, you may want to consider transferring your AOL contacts to the new e-mail address. A service from AOL called AOL Sync allows customers to synchronize their AOL address books with their contact lists in the Microsoft Outlook application.
