Aol apple mail settings
A blast from the past! AOL (America Online) was a popular internet service provider in the 90s and early 2000s. While AOL is no longer a major player in the internet landscape, some people may still have AOL email accounts. Here are the mail settings for AOL email accounts:
Incoming Mail Server:
- Server name: pop.aol.com
- Port: 110
- Username: Your AOL email address (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your AOL email password
Outgoing Mail Server:
- Server name: smtp.aol.com
- Port: 587
- Username: Your AOL email address (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your AOL email password
Additional Settings:
- Authentication: Use the same username and password for both incoming and outgoing mail servers.
- SSL/TLS: Enable SSL/TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing mail servers.
Notes:
- AOL uses a proprietary protocol called "AOL Mail" for sending and receiving email. This protocol is different from the standard POP3 and SMTP protocols used by most other email providers.
- AOL has a reputation for being slow and unreliable, so you may experience issues with sending and receiving email using these settings.
- If you're having trouble setting up your AOL email account on your device or email client, you may want to try using a third-party email client like Mozilla Thunderbird or Microsoft Outlook, which can help you configure your AOL email account more easily.
