Imap settings for aol mail
To set up IMAP settings for AOL Mail, you'll need to use the following settings:
IMAP Settings:
- Server: imap.aol.com
- Port: 993 (SSL/TLS)
- Username: Your AOL Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your AOL Mail password
- Authentication: Use the same username and password as your AOL Mail account

- Port: 995 (SSL/TLS)
- Username: Your AOL Mail address (e.g., [email protected])
- Password: Your AOL Mail password
- Authentication: Use the same username and password as your AOL Mail account
Notes:
- Make sure to enable IMAP or POP3 in your AOL Mail account settings. You can do this by logging in to your AOL Mail account, clicking on the gear icon, and selecting "Account Settings." Then, click on "Account" and toggle the switch next to "IMAP" or "POP3" to the "On" position.
- AOL Mail uses SSL/TLS encryption for IMAP and POP3 connections, so you'll need to use the secure ports (993 and 995) to connect.
- If you're having trouble connecting, try checking your AOL Mail account settings to ensure that IMAP or POP3 is enabled, and that your username and password are correct.
