Why You Need an AOL Mail Backup
Four facts about AOL mail access and how PCVITA software handles every one.

Third Party Apps Need an App Password
AOL asks for a special code when a third party app connects to your account. PCVITA software takes that app password in its login screen.
- 2

AOL describes an IMAP download through server settings in an email app. PCVITA software skips the mail client and saves files from one screen.
- 3
Server Storage Stays Full
Old emails stay in the account until you remove them. PCVITA software deletes saved mail on request.
- 4
Date Ranges Matter
A full backup of an old account takes long. PCVITA software saves one period with a date range.
Prepare Before You Backup AOL Emails
Six checks before your first backup. Tick the boxes in order, then open the software.
- Create an app password in your AOL account settings. Use it as your password in the login screen.
