Windows 10: sync email aol to windows mail

when opening inbox with windows it says I need to sync my accounts, how-where-why

:)

 

I can no longer sync AOL mail in Win 10

UPDATE:

• I tried disabling AOL's "2-Step Verification", trying both the standard web-password and a special AppPassword; neither allowed Win10 to sync (i.e., pop) my AOL mail.
  
• I also disabled all of the MsWin10 firewalls; still no success syncing from AOL.
  
• By the way, I can direct AOL to forward the email it receives; and that does get to the Win10-Outlook mail's inbox; but that is not a good long-term solution for me (by itself).
  

... needless to say, I'm still looking for things to try.

 

Windows Live Mail with (Verizon) AOL help!!

I received this email from AOL back in November.

[table][tr][td][table][tr][td][/td] [td][table][tr][td][/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Hi AOL Member, We love that you love using AOL email. And we want to make sure you always have the best experience. That’s why we’re reaching out today. We’ve noticed that you’re using non-AOL applications (such as third-party email, calendar, or contact applications) that may use a less secure sign-in method. To protect you and your data, AOL will no longer support the current sign-in functionality in your application starting on December 7, 2021. This means that you will need to take one of the steps below to continue using your AOL Mail without interruption. But don’t worry, you have options: Option 1: We recommend that you access your mail using our free AOL app for iOS and Android or simply go to mail.aol.com to access AOL Mail on the web. Option 2: Keep your current, non-AOL app, BUT follow a few steps to get it to sync with our secure sign-in method. The steps vary across different email applications, but in most cases, you will have to remove your AOL account from the app and then add it back again to update sign-in security. Use the links below to follow the specific steps for your current application:

• iOS Mail
• Gmail
• Samsung Mail
• Others

Option 3: You can generate a one-time, unique password that will allow you to sign in to your account using your non-AOL email application. Once created, this password will continue to allow your app to securely sync your AOL email unless you sign out (or are signed out) from your app. You can find instructions on how to do this here. If you want more details on these changes, please visit our help page. If you’ve already taken action, we’d like to think you haven’t read this far, but if you have... we appreciate the diligence! Thanks for rocking that AOL email address! The AOL Team[/td] [/tr] [tr][/tr] [/table]

Syncing AOL email acct

Just upgraded to Windows 10. Initially my AOL email acct synced and I could access via the Mail Tile. However, it is no longer working. I deleted the acct and started over, but it is not working. Any assistance or suggestions are greatly appreciated.
Thank you
