Aol.mail settings

A blast from the past! AOL Mail settings are a bit different from other email providers, but I'll guide you through the process.

AOL Mail Settings:

Incoming Mail Server:

• Server name: imap.aol.com
• Port: 143 (or 993 for SSL/TLS)
• Username: Your AOL Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your AOL Mail password

Outgoing Mail Server:

• Server name: smtp.aol.com
• Port: 587 (or 465 for SSL/TLS)
• Username: Your AOL Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
• Password: Your AOL Mail password

Additional Settings:

• Authentication: Use the same username and password for both incoming and outgoing servers.
• SSL/TLS: Enable SSL/TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing servers.
• POP3: AOL Mail uses IMAP by default, but you can also use POP3 if you prefer. Set the POP3 server to pop.aol.com and the port to 110 (or 995 for SSL/TLS).

Configuring AOL Mail on Popular Email Clients:

Here are the settings for some popular email clients:

• Microsoft Outlook: Go to File > Account Settings > New > Manual setup or additional server types > Internet Email. Enter the above settings and click "Next" to complete the setup.

• Mozilla Thunderbird: Go to Tools > Account Settings > Outgoing Server (SMTP) > Edit. Enter the above settings and click "OK" to complete the setup.

Troubleshooting Tips:

• Make sure your AOL Mail account is set up correctly and you're using the correct login credentials.
• Check your email client's settings to ensure they match the above settings.
• If you're still having issues, try resetting your email client's settings or contacting AOL Mail support for further assistance.
