[DM-MUG] AOL not loading in Mail???

I have always had my mobile me, AOL, and gmail in Mail.  Just yesterday my AOL mail quit loading.  I have double-checked that the password is set right, etc.  I can access my AOL from the internet but prefer it's appearance greatly in Mail.  I have been wanting to transfer it all to gmail or mobile me (though not sure that will work later??) but for now... would just like to be able to access my AOL mail in Mail.  Any advise?  I have not yet upgraded to Lion.  Do you think that will solve it?

Didn't realize Parallels did the Boot Camp thing now. Thanks for the correction, 
Chris.

Peace,

version: I've had trouble using those in Boot Camp (have others been 
successful?) [link to product at Amazon.com]

virtual machine to boot to your Boot Camp partition.

OpenOffice.org has a free office suite that does pretty much everything MS 
Office does, but for free. It's at least a good starting point until you can 
afford a full version of MS office.

as Windows on any other PC (although your Mac "side" will be just as safe as 
before). You will need reliable antivirus and antispyware programs on your 
Windows installation. I tend to use AVG Free Antivirus and SuperAntispyware on 
my own machines and recommend them for my Windows clients.
