The easiest thing to do would probably be to set up your AOL account in
Entourage as an IMAP account.

AOL has posted specific instructions for accessing mail with Entourage on
their site.

Adam Bailey (Mac MVP) has also posted an information page and an Entourage
setup tutorial on his site.

That will cause your AOL mail account to appear in the Folder List as an
IMAP account. You should then see your mail in the account's folders. Drag
those messages to local folders (folders under "Folders on My Computer") to
save them in Entourage.
