As far as I know, AOL's mail system is such that you cannot use it like a POP3 account, cannot access AOL mail from an independent mail client, and cannot use digital signatures or encryption. The program was designed for casual use, not business use. If there is a need for reliable mail with all the bells and whistles, AOL is just not the way to go. One way around this might be to establish a free web-based mail account that can be accessed with your mail client. Hope that helps.
