We want to be able to read AOL mail via a PHP program (the user provides their AOL screen name and password).
We currently do so via cURL commands but it's slow and unreliable. There are several software packages like enetbot
and aol2pop that claim to do this reliably so I must assume they use a more direct method.
No interface is required, just these functions. We need to loop through unread messages and:
1. Get the header
2. Get the body, including attachments
3. Delete the message
4. Set the message status back to unread (if it becomes "read" as a result of the above function).
## Deliverables
