What's an address book?

Sounds like you already suggested the right thing to your friend, next step is to contact aol and have them increase their address book entry limmit, other than that, move along, nothing to see here J/K, maybe you could find your lawyer friend a 3rd party application that keeps a local contact list with aol POP3 capabilities? there are quite a few things like this a google search for aol pop3 application turns them up, look through the discriptions of a few of them for "address book" but the link provided shows how to use outlook with aol, so you could possibly use outlook's local address book.
