Welcome to the Mac@AOL Product Blog!

The Mac@AOL Blog is a forum to allow the Mac product team to keep you posted on updates, new applications and some of the fascinating development work going on in other groups at AOL (check out BlueString or CircaVie). The blog can also allow interaction between the Mac community and the people at AOL who design and build the applications you use. We'll be reading your comments and responding, so please let us know what you're thinking.
Building great Mac applications requires a team effort so the entire Mac product team at AOL has been invited to write about interesting aspects of Mac development, designing user interfaces and any interesting topics about the Macintosh universe.
I know some of you may be saying to yourself, "AOL, back on the Mac?" Yes! AOL is committed to the Mac Platform and we have released updates to the popular applications: AOL Radio for Mac, AOL Pictures for Mac and AOL Service Assistant. Did you know you can use your Apple .Mac or free AIM account to log into AOL Radio or AOL Pictures? Both applications are Universal Binaries so they'll run nicely on your new Intel Macintosh.
Thanks!

About The Team
Welcome to the Mac@AOL Blog. My name is Lee Givens and I'm the Product Lead for the Mac and iPhone products at AOL. You can find the latest information on AOL's software development on the Mac and any cool happenings at AOL. The purpose of the blog is to create a feedback loop so we can hear from our loyal AOL Mac users. Managing a blog is a lot of work, so I enlisted support from the whole team...the Mac team is made up of dedicated Macintosh developers, QA engineers and Product folks.

1. Welcome aboard! I was talking to Brian in the CC2 cafeteria yesterday and he mentioned you'd be launching. Look forward to getting updates on what's going on in the Mac world (I recall a few interesting demos that I'd like to know what happened to.)
Thanks -- Joe Loong

2. AOL Radio is cool, but why is there a gigantic, ugly drawer with the AOL logo hanging off the side of the main window? It just looks shoddy...
--------------
Hey Jeff,
Thanks for the feedback...The ad drawer will hide when you close the station listings (the app will auto-resize in the 3 main window defaults). Grab the AOL Radio apps bottom right corner and resize.

5. Hi,
I have AOL for MAC OSX, Version 10.3.7, Revision 4136.310(US).
I recently installed Leopard, and have identified 3 problems
with AOL to date (all with email).
1) In the email window the icon for address book disappeared
and was replaced with text that cannot be used.
2) I cannot access AOL preferences even using the workaround
on your site. As I move the curser over the prefernces window
I am kicked out of AOL and have to relaunch AOL.
3) The most annoying problem is that I can no longer
enlargen the email window by either the MAC green button,
or by dragging the MAC window larger with the lower right
corner tab. (AOl used to track the MAC window size).
Please advise workarounds that work (if they exist), and when
a version of AOL will be available that corrects these
problems.
Thanks, Ron

6. I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question - if not perhaps you can direct me?
I am a longtime AOL user who has just switched to Mac. I was told by AOL tech support on the phone that there is NO WAY to transfer an AOL PFC to mac. Can that be true? Is there some kind of a work-around way, e.g. transferring AOL messages to Outlook and then transferring Outlook to Entourage and then using AOL with Entourage?
I can't transfer my emails one at a time because I have around 50,000 emails and I will probably need to keep at least half of them.
Thanks for any suggestions!

7. I am a long time heavy AOL user just switched to Mac from XP
(AOL9.0VR) and what a disappointment!!
In addition to Ron McGuire's entry (Nov 17) there is no way to
switch signatures, no way to set the download preference.
I am switching back to AOL for Windows until you fix these
things...I do hope it will be soon!!
Thanks

8. It gets worse. When I use Mail under Leopard, I cannot delete from my AOL account. I receive the message
"Message could not be moved to the mailbox "Deleted messages-AOL" The IMAP command "UID Copy" (to deleted messages) failed for the maiolbox "INBOX" with server error: UID Copy failed Deleted message: no such mailbox"
AOL does not work under Leopard - either in native mode or in Leopard's Mail. C'mon guys; this is bad!!
