How to Use Microsoft® Outlook® 2002 and 2003 to Read and Send AOL® or AIM® E-mail
You can read and send AOL® or AIM® e-mail using the Microsoft® Outlook® 2002 and Outlook® 2003 software.
AOL® offers both POP3 and IMAP to provide simple remote access to your mailbox.
The major difference between POP3 and IMAP is that POP3 downloads the messages and stores them on your computer's hard drive and IMAP stores the messages on AOL's e-mail servers.
