I came up against this problem a few days ago, and thought I would share my solution for getting my contact list out of AOL (Yuck!) to GMail (Yay!).
If you don’t already have Thunderbird installed (it is a great email client, so you should), you can download Thunderbird here.
1)in AOL Communicator, export your contacts in AOL’s ldif format file.
2)in Thunderbird, import your contacts in text format.
3)in Thunderbird, export your contacts in csv format.
4)in Gmail, import your contacts in csv format.
And you are done!
