Windows 10: AOL email scam?

I am receiving multiple emails from supposedly AOL will no longer support 3rd party applications that were not developed by AOL.

It states that I will not be able to access emails after Oct 20. I have tried contacting AOL but it is difficult to get through on phone and emails are not answered.


The email instructs me to use free app for IOS and Android. Or keep current app and follow some steps to make sure it is in sync with AOL secure sign in method.


The email is coming from *** Email address is removed for privacy ***


Is this a scam?

Using AOL site and AOL email

I use AOL for my internet connection. When I call up my AOL email list, I am required to perform two double clicks in order to retrieve any single email item. I contacted AOL and they suggested there must be a setting in windows 10 that I need to adjust
in order to be able to retrieve each email item. Please advise what I can do to be able to retrieve each email with only one double click. thank you

 

AOL Email

I can't set up AOL email. I received error code: 8007274C. Can anybody help?





Have you tried setting it up using Other or Advance Setup? Here are the POP settings of AOL:

• AOL Mail POP incoming server address: pop.aol.com
• AOL Mail POP outgoing server address: smtp.aol.com
• AOL Mail POP user name: Your AOL Mail screen name (what precedes "@aol.com" in your AOL Mail address; if the address is *** Email address is removed for privacy ***, for instance, the screen name is "me")
  
• AOL Mail POP password: Your AOL Mail password
• AOL Mail POP port (Incoming): 995
• AOL Mail POP port (Outgoing): 587
• AOL Mail POP TLS/SSL required (both for incoming and outgoing): yes

On Lumia devices, Advance setup doesn't have fields for Ports and Logon authentication. To enable this you'll need to include it on the incoming and outgoing server. For exam. "user@aol.com:995:1". The number "1" indicates that the TLS/SSL will
be enabled.

 

Outlook trouble in Windows 10 handling AOL email

Hi Dave,

• Are you referring to Windows 10 Mail App?
• If yes, then is that an additional account?

If your AOL is an additional account in Windows 10 Mail App, then I suggest you to remove the account and reconfigure it and check the behavior. And if your AOL is primary a account, please get back to us for further assistance.

I suggest you to try the steps provided in the link below and check.
