Hi - I'm on MacBook Pro - trying to export my address book from AOL to my new account on gmail. AOL does not seem to provide a way to export my info. Do you know any way around this or a way to do this? I would be most grateful for any help. Thanks for all your help.
With appreciation...

Most of the info I'm finding is for windows but I did find this.

For OS X use AOL Communicator's export option.
Most email programs will not be able to import the LDIF file it creates, but a quick search of the web will turn up various options for converting the LDIF file into something more useful.

and this is a step-by-step account of a person who did it (but I suspect he was using windows) http://www.2020hindsight.org/2005/11/27/email-address-book-conversion-...m-aol-t

but BBedit is a MAC tool http://www.barebones.com/products/bbedit/
so it might work.
