DavidRavenMoon, that is not the problem. Sharing an AOL account is easy, because all the acct. info is in the shared folder. It is when people with different AOL accounts and different OSX logins that the problem arises. This is a problem at my work, where there are several users on the computer, some of whom use AOL. I could possibly install instances of AOL for each user but that is lame lame lame.
