>(Would it get AOL mail?)

You can pretty much go with the reality that nothing outside of AOL owned 
software will ever again be able to get AOL mail on a computer (PDA's, 
phones, and similar items are a different issue).

They have considerable income tied to their advertising, so they want to 
control who sees it, how they see it, and when they see it. And this 
isn't even "speculation" on their motives anymore... they freely admit 
this in one of their FAQs.

Because of this income, it is a fairly safe bet that if someone WERE to 
find a way to connect to their mail servers, and get AOL mail, they would 
probably find themselves getting a nice letter from AOL legal telling 
them to cut it out. That is speculation, but when a company says they 
don't do something because it will hurt their income... they usually 
don't like others doing it for them.
