I have a drive that use to have AOL on it. I want to be able to see the old,
saved email from the AOL directory without having to install AOL. Does anyone
know where (files and/or directory) the emails are stored, and what I can use
to view these files?

Only if you don't use the organizer functionality.
Then all downloaded textfiles of a user are saved in
one file that's named like the profile.
If you're "lam...@aol.com", then you've got to
look for the file lamer0.1 or lamer.01 somewhere
round aol's dir.
