It might help some, if they use Netscape 7.x, AFAIK it and Claris Emailer (Mac
client) are the only third party *mail* apps that can access AOL's proprietary
e-mail service, which is really just a bastardized from of IMAP.

I noticed instructions in a quick Google search (some time ago) on how to setup
Netscape for AOL, however it's just as easy to use Yahoo or Netscape Web Mail
for e-mail then doing all this work for an AOL mail account. One can still
connect through the AOL internet service with Yahoo, MSN or Netscape Web Mail.
With Yahoo one can use a regular e-mail client, MSN one must use Outlook or
Outlook Express, with Netscape Webmail, Netscape v 7.x can be an used in place
of the web interface. All the above is NOT as complicated as it sounds. :)

As always YMMV.
