Details Preserved
Folder order, recipients, dates and links stay with every email.
Date Range Filter
Convert only the mail from the period you choose.

AOL PFC Converter Questions and Answers
Which AOL files does the converter open?
PFC files from AOL Desktop versions 6.0 to 10.0 and other versions open in the software. Add files one by one or scan the drive for them.
Do I need AOL Desktop installed?
No. Conversion works without AOL Desktop. Outlook is not needed for the conversion either.
Which formats can I export PFC files to?
Export to PST, MBOX, EML, MSG and PDF. Direct export to an Office 365 account is also available.
Does the software convert attachments?
No. PFC files store only attachment names and the AOL client keeps the real files in a separate place. Exported mail carries those names.
Can I move AOL mail to Office 365?
Yes. Export to an admin account or a single user mailbox. Admin account moves need impersonation rights.
Which Office 365 plans work?
Enterprise E1, E3 and E5, Business Premium, Essentials, Exchange Online Plan 1 and 2 and Office 365 A1, A3, A5 and F1 are listed.
Can I convert only some folders?
Yes. Tick the folders or items you need and leave the rest. Batch export of many PFC files works too.
Does the folder structure stay the same?
Yes. Folders and subfolders keep their original order. Recipient fields, sent and received dates and links stay with every email.
Can I filter AOL emails by date?
Yes. Set a date range before the conversion and only mail inside it is exported.
Can I change the names of the saved files?
Yes. Choose from patterns that use the subject, date based names or auto incremental numbers.
What does the free demo include?
Demo mode exports the first 25 items from every folder of a PFC file. Adding a license key removes the limit.
How much does AOL PFC Converter cost?
Personal License costs $49, Business License costs $199 and Enterprise License costs $499.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. Refund requests are accepted for 30 days under the RecoveryTools refund policy. Software bought without a demo evaluation does not qualify. Email a signed Letter of Destruction to sales@recovery-tools.org.
