Short answer - No.

Long answer - AOL uses a proprietary e-mail system that does not follow 
standard protocols.  AOL users may ONLY use the embedded e-mail client to 
read/send mail.  They also now have an optional browser interface called 
AOL NetMail to access their e-mail from outside AOL itself.  They have 
considered many times opening up their system and making it standard, but 
keep coming back to security issues.   I think there's more to it, but 
that's what they say.  Employees who have Kerberos accounts on the aol.net 
system can use other mail clients - but that's not their aol.com e-mail.
