I am with AOL and would like to retrieve my mail through Outlook ... In the past (about three months), it has sometimes worked, then what AOL has to change its ports and since then I get an error message. I have tried to do lot of things but nothing worked accordingly. So I thought that you guys can help me.!! Please provide some solution so that I can solve this problem.!!
Contrary to the POP3 mail retrieval by you via a suitable IMAP mail program like Outlook or AOL Communicator directly to any folder in your AOL mailbox access - even without AOL software. Parallel remain your messages on the server, and AOL are so comfortable even from other PCs, AOL software, AOL Webmail, or a matching program is available by mail. This is also much better for IMAP mail retrieval suitable for mobile than for example POP3. The emails will continue to edit / manage their email account available.
The data for your IMAP Access:
Inbox
- Type of incoming server: IMAP (automatic default on port 143)
- Incoming mail server: (address)
- Authentication: AOL name and password
- Account Name: Screen Name
- Password: AOL password
- Optional: If SSL support port 993 or SPA
Outbox
- Outgoing mail server: (xyz.com), Port 587
- Authentication: (xyz.com) or AOL name and password
- Account Name: Screen Name
- Password: AOL password
- Optional: If SSL support port 465 or SPA
To solve this problem, start the AOL Setup from the Microsoft Windows Edition CD-ROM. Do this as follows :
- Insert the Microsoft Windows Edition CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive.
- Click Start, point to Programs, and then click Windows Explorer.
- In Windows Explorer, browse to the folder Win \ OLS \ AOL on the Microsoft Windows Edition CD-ROM and start the setup.
