Polling Mode will clean out the spam, but also let you continue to access AOL from the AOL browser.

To set up your account:

Install Web2POP (http://www.bluesquirrel.com/products/web2pop/)
Install AOL support from JMA software (http://www.jmasoftware.com/english/download/addins.html)
Make sure Web2POP runs at startup.
