  1. Windows 10 mail has stopped working with AOL


    I have been using Windows 10 mail with my aol account for a long time. Today out of the blue I am getting a "We couldn't access this account:Aol. You might need to update the password or give permission to sync to this device." I have not changed my PW, but I re-entered it in the "attention required" field - nothing. I then changed the PW with aol online, confirmed the PW was correct and tried entering this PW into Windows mail - still get the same error message. I next deleted aol mail from Windows 10 mail and tried to add it again - still won't connect. Not sure what to try next?

    Windows Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.1379

    Thanks!

    :)

  2. 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.

    Thank you

    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)
