Getting AOL main through Mail.app

I want to recieve and send mail from my AOL account through Mail.app, but don't know how to make it work.

Well, I know how, I just don't have all the information necessary to do it. I need to know whether AOL is POP or IMAP, I need a port number and I need to know AOL's incoming and outgoing mail server address.

I've done a quick search of the Knowledge Base (which I still think is useless) and came up with nothing. I also searched this site and MacOSXHints.com.

Does anyone have this information or know where AOL might post it? Thanks to anyone who can help.

I'm sorry to break it to you, but this is NOT POSSIBLE.
I know, I tried. I spent DAYS searching the internet on how to do it :(
Unfortunately AOL uses a proprietary protocol, so you cannot get AOL mail from anything except the AOL software, Netscape 6.0 and above, and AOL's webmail site.
Stinks, doesn't it?
