A lot of AOL users are unaware that there is an even *faster* way provided by AOL to upload and download email and news, called FlashSessions. FlashSessions may be set up to automatically logon to AOL at any time you desire, download your email (with or without attachments) to any directory or folder that you desire, then logoff! I have been using AOL in this manner for years, with only a few minutes of usage 'on the clock' per month.
To configure FlashSessions, poke MAIL|SET UP FLASHSESSIONS and follow the directions. To manually activate a FlashSession, poke MAIL|ACTIVATE FLASHSESSION NOW. You can choose to remain online after your email has been uploaded/downloaded.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to write to me directly. Cheers.
