I wouldn't say that it will NEVER happen again, just that it is very 
unlikely.

After all, AOL at least recently (don't know if they still do, but 
probably), offered SDKs for developers in the right markets... PDAs and 
Cell Phones.

And someone on the windows side at one point developed an app that hooked 
into their web mail interface.

And then you have Netscape Mail which can connect to AOL... but that 
doesn't really count being that AOL owns Netscape... but then, if it can 
be done from Netscape, someone might be able to hack the HASH used during 
connection and come up with another client that can connect. (I was close 
with their first version, but the new one is way beyond me). I don't know 
what the legal issues of doing this would be however.
