Aol mail email servers
A blast from the past!
AOL (America Online) was a popular internet service provider (ISP) in the 1990s and early 2000s. As part of its service, AOL provided email accounts to its subscribers. Here are some details about AOL's email servers:
AOL Email Servers:
- aol.com: The primary domain for AOL email accounts.
- aolmail.com: An alternate domain used by AOL for email services.
- imap.aol.com: The IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) server for accessing AOL email accounts.
- pop.aol.com: The POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3) server for retrieving AOL email accounts.
Port Numbers:
- IMAP: Port 143 (default) or Port 993 (SSL/TLS)
- POP3: Port 110 (default) or Port 995 (SSL/TLS)
SMTP Server:
- smtp.aol.com: The SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server for sending emails from AOL accounts.
Notes:
- AOL's email servers were initially hosted on its own infrastructure, but in 2015, the company announced that it would be transitioning its email services to Verizon's infrastructure.
- In 2017, AOL's email services were fully migrated to Verizon's infrastructure, and AOL's email servers were decommissioned.
- Today, AOL email accounts are managed by Verizon Media, which offers email services through its Yahoo! Mail platform.
If you're still using an AOL email account, you can access your email through the Verizon Media website or mobile app.
