Additional Settings

After setting up your AOL email account in Outlook, you may need to adjust some additional settings to ensure that your emails are sent and received correctly. Here are a few things to check:

• Make sure that your AOL email account is set to allow POP3 or IMAP access. You can do this by logging into your AOL account online and going to the "Account Settings" or "Mail Settings" page.
• Check that your AOL email account is set to use the correct outgoing mail server (SMTP). You can do this by logging into your AOL account online and going to the "Account Settings" or "Mail Settings" page.
• If you're using IMAP, make sure that your AOL email account is set to use the correct IMAP folder structure. You can do this by logging into your AOL account online and going to the "Account Settings" or "Mail Settings" page.
