I recently had someone who wanted to do this but I had no idea how to go about it. After a few minutes searching on this, I found the following directions.
You have to install the AOL Sync program. There are two ways to install the AOL Sync program: with the BlackBerry® Desktop Manager or via a wireless connection.
This document explains how to install the software using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager.
To install AOL Sync using the BlackBerry Desktop Manager:
1. Go to the AOL Sync for Blackberry Web site (http://bbsync.aol.com/), then click the Download Now button.
2. Unzip the downloaded bbaolsync.zip file. Make note of the directory you have unzipped this file to as you will need it again later.
3. Plug in the BlackBerry handheld device.
4. Start up the Desktop Manager.
5. Double-click the Application Loader icon.
6. Click the Next > button.
7. Click the Add… button.
8. Click the aolsync.alx file in the directory noted while completing step 2 above, then click the Open button.
9. Ensure that AOL Sync is checked and the Action: listed is “Install.” Click the Next > button.
10. Click the Finish button. Four modules will load onto the handheld: com_aol_aolsync.cod, com_aol_aolsync_client.cod, com_aol_carriers.cod, and com_asoft_midp_zlib.cod.
11. Close the Application Loader Wizard window.
12. Close the Desktop Manager.
This document explains how to install the software using your wireless connection.
To install Sync using your wireless connection:
1. Confirm that your wireless connection is on. If not, select the Radio Tower icon on the main ribbon screen, press the track wheel, select Turn Wireless On, then press the track wheel again.
2. Open the Internet browser. This may be labeled as Internet Browser or Browser; often the label will include the name of your carrier. Once the browser page opens, it should bring up a default page. Select Home Page, then press the track wheel. A menu will then pop up.
3. Select Go To…, then press the track wheel. A window will pop up where you can enter a URL. Type bbsync.aol.com, then select OK and press the track wheel.
4. After the Web page loads, select Full Installation, then tap the Enter key. The download screen appears. Tap the Enter key to start downloading.
5. Once the program has been downloaded and installed (this may take a while), you should see a window pop up that says, “Application was installed. Device must be rebooted to complete the installation.” Simply select Reboot, then press the track wheel.
Once AOL Sync has been installed, it must also be configured.
To configure AOL Sync for BlackBerry:
1. From the main BlackBerry menu, select the AOL Sync program, then press the track wheel.
2. Enter your screen name and password.
Note: If you are using AOL® Passcode, you should enter the passcode number on the main AOL® Sync screen after your password, using the following format: password/passcode.
3. Please select the applications you wish to sync. By default both Address Book and Calendar are selected.
Note: Select Settings to change your synchronization settings on the Settings screen.
Address Book: A checkmark indicates that you want to synchronize with your AOL® Address Book information. Tap the space bar to uncheck this box if you do not want to synchronize your address book.
Calendar: A checkmark indicates that you want to synchronize with your AOL® Calendar information. Tap the space bar to uncheck this box if you do not want to synchronize your calendar.
Auto-Sync Every: Select the time interval in minutes, indicating how often you want to check the AOL® service for changes. If you select 0 minutes, this feature will be disabled.
Service Provider: Tap the space bar to select your service provider. If your service provider is not listed, you will need to select User Defined and enter in the appropriate information from your service provider.
4. You will receive a message stating that, “The application aolsync has requested a https connection to bbsync.aol.com:80.” Select the Don’t ask this again for: https connections to bbsync.aol.com:80 box, then tap the space bar to place a check in it.
5. Select Allow this connection, then press the track wheel.
