AOL question
My sister has AOL as well as another account on a local ISP. She likes the local ISP because she can get mail to download to Outlook. I told her that she could set up Outlook to get AOL mail, she would just need to enter the SMTP server information. Then, I went to AOL, and found their customer service web page very uninformative. Does anyone here know the SMTP server information for AOL so I can help her set up Outlook to grap her AOL mail?

Thanks.

1. You can't.
AOL doesn't use POP3, IMAP or any other common system and has its own protocols.

No way to grab the AOL mail without AOL unless there's a way to auto forward it to a real ISP and get it there.
