 Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

PFC Converter supports 10+ export formats including PST (Outlook), PDF, EML, EMLX (Apple Mail), MBOX (Thunderbird), HTML, RTF and Plain Text. Choose the format that best matches your target email client or archival requirements.

AOL PFC files are typically stored in the AOL Desktop installation directory. Common locations include C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\AOL\ or C:\Program Files\AOL Desktop\. You can also search your computer for files with the .pfc extension. The software includes a built-in file browser to help locate PFC archives.

Yes, all email attachments are fully preserved during conversion. Attachments are either embedded in the output files (PST, EML, MBOX) or can be extracted to separate folders with organized naming. PDF exports can include attachments as embedded files or links. No attachment data is lost during the conversion process.

Yes, the complete folder hierarchy from your AOL Personal Filing Cabinet is preserved. Inbox, Sent Mail, custom folders and all subfolders are recreated in the exported format. When importing to Outlook or Thunderbird, your email organization remains exactly as it was in AOL Desktop.

Yes, PFC Converter supports batch processing. You can add multiple PFC files individually or select an entire folder to process all PFC archives at once. This is especially useful when migrating complete email history from multiple AOL accounts or backup archives.

No, AOL Desktop is not required. PFC Converter works independently and directly reads the PFC file format. This means you can convert archived PFC files even after uninstalling AOL Desktop or on computers where AOL was never installed.

Yes, the date range filter allows you to export emails from specific time periods. Set start and end dates to convert only emails from a particular year, quarter or custom date range. This is useful for compliance requirements, legal holds or selective migration.

The free trial allows you to preview all emails and test all export formats, but limits conversion to the first 25 emails per folder. The full licensed version removes this restriction, allowing unlimited email conversion from any number of PFC files.
