Mark Robbins found a intelligent hack to focus on AOL Mail utilizing unicode characters at school names. You should utilize the next selector to focus on AOL Mail, by placing the identical unicode character because the id and sophistication of a component after which making a selector that may match a category with the unicode character however not the id.
<model>
.★:not(#★){
background-color:pink;
}
</model>
<div class="★" id="★">TEST</div>The attribute selector approach
AOL Mail appends aolmail_ to courses and ids in addition to CSS selectors together with precise attribute selectors (x=y). Nonetheless it doesn’t append aolmail_ to different attribute selector sorts (x~=y, x^=y, x$=y). So we are able to goal a selector to be solely lively in AOL Mail through the use of an attribute selector like (~=) and manually appending the aolmail_ string to the category identify.
<model>
div[class~="aolmail_foo"]{
background-color:pink;
