Links2, like lynx, signs in to a blank page (javascript?).
I don't get asked whether to use the 'Basic' version and 'trouble logging 
in' produces an 'error loading' screen.

It gets to the login screen about 30 sec sooner.

Opera 9.63 won't log in - unspecified error.  8.54 worked yesterday.
Another approach got me into an infinite loop - login/password, security 
question.  Deleting AOL cookies got me into a login loop (same page 
repeated).

This project may not be worth it.  Linux is for people who can change 
their habits (and addresses).

Does Sylpheed work with AOL POP mail?  Opera also does POP mail.
