    Windows 10 mail fix for AOL mail server


    I found the fix for me so my Windows 10 mail app would sync with AOL mail.

    Go to your AOL mail. Go to Options - Account Information - Account Security - Generate App Password. I had to manually put Windows 10 mail in the app name space. AOL will generate the password to use in the Windows 10 app. Follow the instructions in the Windows 10 mail set up under add account. Use the AOL password for the password.

    :)

    AOL mail not working with Windows 10 mail ?

    Hello tynaskos, I’m Virginia an independent advisor here.

    I’ve seen that error on accounts which have two-factor/step authentication where the user requires an app specific password which is entered in place of the account password.

    Does the AOL account use this security feature?

    If not then check the usual ‘suspects’: username & password, whether the account uses SSL & whether the port numbers are set correctly.

    AOL Mail IMAP Settings

    The IMAP settings for AOL mail are as follows:

    AOL Mail IMAP server address: imap.aol.com

    AOL Mail IMAP user name: Your full AOL Mail email address. For AOL email, this is your AOL screen name plus "@aol.com," such as "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" (or @love.com, @games.com

    AOL Mail IMAP password: Your AOL Mail password

    AOL Mail IMAP port: 993

    AOL Mail IMAP TLS/SSL required: yes

    Enter these SMTP settings to send outgoing email through to your AOL Mail account from any email program.

    Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com

    SMTP Outgoing Server Address: smtp.aol.com. Set the port to 587

    SMTP Username: "*** Email address is removed for privacy ***" (or @love.com, @games.com or @verizon.net)

    SMTP password. The password you use to log in to AOL Mail

  3. I need a slick E-mail program!

    My parents are absolutely stonewall about keeping AOL. The best reason they can give me for keeping it is the easy to use E-mail interface. I ain't arguing, I haven't found anything easier to use, but it TAKES SO MUCH MEMORY! And so I'm thinking that if I can find something nice and easy to use, I might be able to get my parents to use it instead of AOL, and finally get the bloatware known as AOL off my computer! The requirements-
    • Must be easy to use
    • Can't be browser-based (so AIM mail, Yahoo, and MSN are no-no's)
    • Preferably compatible with AOL mail, my parents don't want to switch E-mail accounts
    • Can't be Mozilla Thunderbird...I tried it and it sucks in terms of multiple E-mail accounts, and it erased all my saved mail *Frown Windows 10 mail fix for AOL mail server :(.
    Any ideas?

    AOL to force it's users to pay for E-mail

    AOL to force its users to pay for E-mail

    The USA's largest ISP has been free since August 2nd, 2006. Unfortunately for AOL users, or more specificially anyone who wants to contact them, all of that's about to change. In an effort to cut down spam and phishing scams, AOL has installed a service from "Goodmail", which theoretically allows only good mail through. However, to be considered "good" to the server, E-mail has to be given an encrypted seal of approval. Once this service is installed, users of AOL and AIM mail will be able to send messages, but in order for someone to reply, they have to pay Goodmail a fee.
