AOL DESKTOP GOLD
I contacted AOL on 2/17 that i just purchased a new HP Windows 10
computer and a message keeps coming up
MY AOL SETTINGS ARE OUT-OF - DATE.
You suggested that I contact AOL Tech. which I did and they
reinstalled AOL Desktop Gold on 2/18.
Today I just received 2 messages on Desktop that
MY AOL SETTINGS ARE OUT-OF - DATE.
Please correct.

The pop-up you are seeing is from a 3rd party email client on your computer, probably Windows Mail. The reason why it’s asking you to update the settings, is because your account was probably setup using an older/incorrect password, or the incoming/outgoing servers are using the incorrect ports.
In case you are not using Windows Mail, you can delete your email account from this application, by following the steps from the following Microsoft Support article: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/delete-an-email-account-from-mail-and-calendar-apps-dba65c49-648d-4d76-9f88-b7bc22a2cc3d
If you do want to use the Windows Mail app, we recommend following the steps from the article above to remove the account, and then re-add it by following the steps here: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/set-up-email-in-the-mail-app-for-windows-10-7ff79e8b-439b-4b47-8ff9-3f9a33166c60
Thank you.
