Hi Christopher, Emailer is a wonderful solution to consolidating all her email. The problem is that if AOL is her ISP, and she uses Emailer (via TCP connection) to check email while already connected to AOL, AOL will assume that she is logged in twice and not allow it.
If she is using Mac OS 9.1 or less, get the revised AOL CCL's from ftp://ftp.mythech.net Once those are installed, Emailer ought to be able to correctly dial up AOL itself & get all the mail. Global Village can probably use one of the Hayes modem drivers. Another thing to consider; if she uses AOL mostly for email, and could use a different web browser... Then reduce the AOL plan to the cheapest one, and spend the difference on an ISP. there are several $10/month ISP's around, so the cost would be about the same. If she did this, then it would be easy to make the ISP connection, then check all mail accounts as a Emailer TCP connection. Hope this helps.
