Thanks GordonThree.
I understand about the POP3 email. My question is about the CONTACTS. Are they also stored locally or are they stored on the server?
Are my contacts part of the email file or are they a in a different file?
Your contacts are stored "somewhere" on the computer, they're not being stored with AOL.
I'm not sure where the default storage is... It used to be in the PST file with the POP mail and according to Microsoft, it still is... but I'm not 100% on that. What stinks and makes things confusing is Outlook can have more than one address book.
