Hi Everyone,
A question: Is it possible to get the contents of a buddylist off the AIM server without logging onto AIM (or logging on, but not appearing online)?

I found something close to what I am looking for with aimChange. It will let me log onto AIM but not appear online. Now what I want to do is retrieve my buddylist off the aim servers. Possible?

Thanks for the help.

Wow, that was a useless post.

Yes kvoell, You’d need to sign into AOL to get your list, once you signon (If you are on AIM 5.5) You can go ‘invisible’ and save your BuddyList to your local disk. You do have to login to an AOL server to get your list, theres no way around that.
