If you want to read your mail with Gmail, you're better off leaving your
AOL account alone and telling Gmail to collect it using POP3.  That avoids
mysterious disappeance when AOL's and Gmail's spam filtering disagree.

By the way, AOL's spam filtering these days is pretty good because it's
actually Yahoo's spam filtering.
