Currently I am using AOL 9.0 version, when I have upgraded to the newer version of AOL the PFC is not working. I really need the 5 years of saved emails. I found the older AOL version's PFC folder but unable to see its emails. All I want is to view emails from the PFC (Personal Filing Cabinet) file & bookmark also if possible.

If you have archived your AOL email into PFC then currently the software is under development. Otherwise if you have AOL Webmail i.e. if it is present on server, you can save emails directly from the AOL server through the above recommended tool.

SysTools PFC Viewer would be the best choice for viewing your email file. There is no requirement of AOL desktop application to view the PFC file

" When I found my PFC file, I can see my emails are stored there. To access those emails I have opened it with NotePad but they are scrambled in encoded text somewhat like 0X1 and other symbols. Currently I am Unable to access the Personal Filing Cabinet of AOl, so how can I get these old PFC's to a point where I can actually view these emails?"

Yes, our tool is capable to open such AOL PFC email independently. As the PFC format is not limited to storage of emails only but also bookmark and contact information which includes email addresses, company information, phone numbers, street addresses, groups, and distribution lists.

I want to open my AOL PFC file, so that I can view favorites from the file, but it cannot be open, is there any solution for viewing AOL PFC file without using AOL?

You can directly view your bookmarks of PFC file in HTML format using AOL PFc Viewer software.

I have a current version of my AOL 9.1. I have stored my Favorite Places in my hard drive as: Favorite Places.pfc (Personal File Cabinet, about 120 KB). How do I get IE8 to import and recognize this file as an IE8 favorites list?

You just need AOL PFC explorer which can explore your favorites.

No, your attachment would not be accessible. The tool maintain the internal attachment but not the external attachment. You can view just the name of the attachment with its file extension
