Process for the solution

The setting which we are providing over here for the users should be configured by the users itself by just following the instructions.

How the users can configure the settings to use AOL Mail in email applications that are not developed by AOL, such as Outlook, Thunderbird, Windows 10 Mail, etc.

The users are required to access AOL Mail using a third-party email client which requires manual configuration using supported AOL mail servers and port numbers. Only use the AOL-supported servers and port numbers listed below when configuring mail settings.

If the users are connected with AOL Email or the AOL app, they are not required to make any changes to their settings for further use.

Step 1: Find the IMAP/POP server and port settings in the email application.

If the users can find these settings usually under an account settings menu in their application.

Step 2: The users are required to update their server and port settings and save their changes.

If the users have updated their all settings but still can't retrieve their mail or encounter an error, then they are required to check their username. It should be their full email address, including @aol.com.

Protocol	Server Settings	Port Settings
POP3	Incoming mail server (POP3): pop.aol.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.aol.com Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.	POP3 - 995 - SSL SMTP - 465 - SSL
IMAP	Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.aol.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.aol.com Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.	IMAP - 993 - SSL SMTP - 465 - SSL

 

The user’s Email client might prompt the users to select either IMAP or POP3. Read our "What is the difference between POP3 and IMAP?" help article to learn about the differences between IMAP and POP3. If the users decide to change their configuration from POP3 to IMAP, save or back up their email to avoid potential loss during the transition.
