Thanks in advance

The easiest thing to do would probably be to set up your AOL account in
Entourage as an IMAP account.
AOL has posted specific instructions for accessing mail with Entourage on
their site.

Adam Bailey (Mac MVP) has also posted an information page and an Entourage
setup tutorial on his site.

That will cause your AOL mail account to appear in the Folder List as an
IMAP account. You should then see your mail in the account's folders. Drag
those messages to local folders (folders under "Folders on My Computer") to
save them in Entourage.

Thanks, Mickey.
I guess my issue is that I have years of AOL mail from an old account that I
want to be able to access within Entourage.
I was getting my AOL mail via IMAP when the AOL account was still active,
but this still did not let me access the AOL mail that I had sent or
received previous to setting up the IMAP account up.
I was hoping that someone knew of a script, like the one that can be used to
import mailboxes from Mac mail.
Any ideas?
Best,
Rudresh

Unfortunately I'm not aware of anything like this existing. On one hand, AOL
is not very scriptable; on the other hand, the AOL messages are basically
saved in plain text. So I have no idea how easy or hard it would be to do.
