Can you tell me if AOL uses pop3, IMAP, or HTTP? Also do they use an SMTP server? Can I use Outlook Express with my AOL account?
How about NetZero?
Thanks in advance for any help. Getting help of any proficiency from AOL is a tall order.

There is a good program called AOL2POP that will access AOL mail and then present it on a local POP mail server. It will also convert outbound SMTP to AOL format. It is available at www.aol2pop.com and costs about $14 if I remember correctly. There is a demo period so you can try it out.
