Apple's mail app and privacy issues...within the home
Does the Apple mail app work in such a way that not everyone's AOL email account will be able to be accessed through the mail application? My uncle is asking me this question on AIM. I dont know what he is talking about, as I dont have or want to have AOL. Does anyone know? I asked him if user switching would help, but he claims that even with that, everyone's account is still "wide open."

Although, in that case you'd probably also want to set Mail to check e-mail manually than at specified intervals.
Not too sure if that helped any \

Actually, you can use Mail to read AOL mail - just set up an IMAP account using imap.aol.com as your server. Note that the user name is case-sensitive.
This is a better and more secure solution than AOL, if you have multiple users, as AOL stores its preferences and settings inside the /Users/Shared folder....

Here. It's just a recent development.
