What email client are you using? How do you determine which email goes to what folder? I doubt you can do this with batch code.

Need more info.  i am using 9.1 aol thanks ronAOL is proprietary and I could not find an ActiveX SCRIPT Control which would be needed for scripting. You might be able to USE the sendkeys method in VBScript, but it can be haphazard and unreliable. I don't have AOL installed, so I won't be much help here.

AOL Explorer and IE7 are similar, so you might be able to script the web side of AOL (that might be a major project and time consuming).

For future reference, can you not setup RULES that dictate where incoming mail should be delivered? If incoming mail COMES from PersonA, send it to FolderA and if incoming mail comes from PersonB, send it to FolderB.

If you need further help get back to us.

Good luck.  this is the probleblem i have subscired to many ad exchanges.i get mail from them all to give me points for advertising. i sepratley i need a batch file that saves the emails to the folders i create in aol 9.1?thanks roncan i just copy the emails to a misc folder then sort them out from there?can you send me a batch file that will copy those emails to any folder?thanks ron Quote from: ron57 on October 19, 2010, 07:56:28 AM

It's not that simple. Without a script control, you cannot create an AOL object. Without the object you cannot script the program.  My guess is that you'll need to do this manually within the AOL environment.

You should try Google. I found nothing useful, but you might. If you're referring to copying to an external folder, you might find some 3rd party software that can do extraction or export operations.

Good luck.
