:i know it's sort of sickening notion. but my  sweetie now has 
:a mac and 
:we are having lots of trouble with aol. i was wondering if there was a 
:way to configure Mail so she could use it as her email client and just 
:pull the messages from the dread and evil AOL without having to use 
:their fr*%$!king interface.

I don't believe this is possible since AOL uses an proprietary mail
protocol not a standard like POP or IMAP. So I don't know of a mail
client that can communicate with AOL's mail servers.
