I have been a subscriber for almost 30 years (remember DOS) but you have made it impossible for me to continue much longer.
The recent surprise change in allowing me to read aol emails in outlook is unfortunate. The aol generated pw does not work in desktop outlook. Plus the pw needs to be regenerated often since it is dropped frequently. Your browser is filled with ads that obstruct received information. plus you want to charge me to ask questions or even complain. Too bad Aol decided to abandon loyal subscribers.

Thanks for reaching out, sorry to hear you’ve had issues with your AOL account used on Outlook. I’m here to help!
In order to remove the account you go to File in the upper left corner, then click on Account Settings – Select the account you want to remove. Then, in order to re-add it, you have to go to File – Add account – Manually configure server settings or additional server types. There you have to enter the account details along with the servers and the app generated password ( Choose Outlook Desktop from the drop down menu ). Then you click on More Settings then go to Advanced and make sure the ports and the SSL encryption are correct.
Thank you!
