Thanks for the blog link. Blogger jbuerti (an AOL employee) wrote, "As far as I know, we are still planning on offering IMAP access, although apparently it is not switched on yet... here's a quote from a recent eWeek article about AIM Mail:
'AOL already is planning additional features for the full launch of AIM Mail. The service will support the IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) standard so that users can access their AIM Mail accounts from other e-mail clients, Ben-Yoseph said."

So IMAP is coming, just don't know when.
