AIM will be discontinued today
Unfortunately you are not able to save or export your Buddy List.Your data associated with AIM will be deleted after December 15, 2017.Yes, you can manually save images and files to your computer until the morning of December 15, 2017.Whatever you thought of AIM, it's stuff like this that makes you realize just how important software freedom is. Insane that there is just no way at all, without outright hacking the program (to the extent that hacking it is possible), to export your data, that you generated, and should by rights be yours to at the very least save (and not have to comb through potentially decades of chat history to export pictures and files one-by-one).
