If you want to receive AOL email without actually logging in with AOL software, just download and install Netscape 7.0. It will retrieve AOL email from the servers very nicely

I use it to keep up with my Packer buddies who are all on AOL, as I don't like using the aol.com website to get my mail.


BTW - Shouldn't this be in Apps and Operating Systems?

Question

I have a question, since when do you need an aol email address to communicate with friends on aol? I email friends on aol and I'm on earthlink, plain old pop3 account.

Why a AOL email server

I never said you needed a, aol email address.
I have a friend thats on aol, and doesn't like receiveing his mail
through aol. If you ever had aol, you would know why.
AOL mail truck (SUCKS)

I have the AOL email addy from back in my AOL days, and it's piggybacked onto my brother's account. I don't want the aol.exe virus on my computer, so I use Netscape to access my AOL email
