Aol mail imap path prefix

A blast from the past!

AOL Mail uses a specific IMAP path prefix to access your email account. The prefix is:

[imap.aol.com]/inbox

Here's a breakdown:

• imap.aol.com is the hostname for AOL's IMAP server.
• /inbox is the path prefix for your inbox folder.

To access your AOL Mail account using IMAP, you'll need to use the following format:

imap://[email protected]/imap.aol.com/inbox

Replace username with your actual AOL Mail username.

Note that AOL Mail also supports other folders, such as sent, drafts, and spam, which can be accessed using the following paths:

• sent: [imap.aol.com]/sent
• drafts: [imap.aol.com]/drafts
• spam: [imap.aol.com]/spam

Keep in mind that AOL Mail has some limitations and quirks when using IMAP, such as:

• AOL Mail only allows IMAP connections over SSL/TLS (port 993).
• Some features, like folder synchronization, may not work as expected.
• You may need to use a third-party IMAP client or plugin to access your AOL Mail account.

If you're having trouble connecting to your AOL Mail account using IMAP, you can try checking AOL's IMAP settings or contacting their support team for assistance.
