AOL doesn't let you do this. Doesn't happen in a
proprietary system. If your using AOL email why not
just load up the AOL client and use the email from there?
Using email systems from alternate ISPs often causes problems
as well, even if you WERE able to do this... 10 bucks says
AOL will not let you SEND through their mail server while
dialed into another ISP. They typically do this as a form
of "spam prevention".... even AOL, the spam king, would
have this feature on.
