Archive free AOL mail files

I have the free version of AOL mail service.  I have many mail folders stored on line.  I think I am over using my free online storage space.  How can I archive large blocks of my saved email to a place on my Win XP PC that I can view offline and thus free up my online AOL storage space.

Your on-line storage space is unlimited so it's pretty hard to over-use it.  If you still want to transfer some messages to your PC, I believe you'll have to use a third-party e-mail program (like Thunderbird) to do that.  Just use that program to sign in to your mailbox and then drag messages into local storage.

Thank you.  I will try Thunderbird.  Is unlimited storage space for us free AOL mail users relatively new?  It seems like it was a month or so ago that, while trying to move some email into my various folders, I was told I had run out of space.  maybe I misunderstood.  Anyway I have so many old emails that I must keep for history sake that I would like a way to offload the old ones to my harddisk and thus clean up my most recent folders.
