Whatever
Whatever has happened to AOL Mail? I've used it for nearly 20 years but e-Mail support is useless - non-existent in fact. Can't access my Mail account via my Apple devices and can't get any sensible advice or support. Once I go through the incredibly time-wasting hassle full process of transferring all of my contacts and notifications I will be leaving. Unless I get some better service - or even a response. ****
Please remove your account from the email app, restart your device then add the account again. Also, check the Incoming mail server settings in your email application, and make sure they match the IMAP/POP settings in the section titled ""AOL Mail POP and IMAP settings"" from the following help article: https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail
The incoming and outgoing mail servers require SSL enabled for all ports, and also the username field in the account setup, needs to contain your full email address, including @aol.com at the end.
In case your server settings are correct, open the link below (and sign in if necessary), and make sure the option ""Allow apps that use less secure sign-in"" is turned ON.
https://login.aol.com/account/security

Confusion
I cannot figure out how to delete some things from my contact list and I’ve searched and been round and round and can’t even find a way to email you but this. All I see is the contact list but no way to edit. You say 9.3 app is needed but the highest number at the App Store is 5. Something ????????????
To manage your contacts list, you will have to access your account from a desktop computer.
Also, the 9.3 version is for the iOS operating system and 5.5.1 is for the AOL App version. -
Print function improvement needed
I tried to print an email. So I selected the info and then selected print.
Your response was no printer found.
Then it tried to air print and found my daughter's house printer, not my HP print app printer.
Can you make your app let me select from my wifi based printers and network printers instead of telling me my five different printers are not found.Hello there, please make sure your HP printer is connected to the same wireless network that your mobile phone is using.
Additionally you can check if the printer is setup properly, by trying to access it from another device on your network.
Thank you.

How do I make mail go to the iPad mail folder?
I have been with AOL for years and thanks. There are two. Things with this app that I don’t care for.
How can I make new mail show up on the iPad dashboard? Having to go to the aol mail button is a pain.
How can I make the mail automatically open expanded to full screen? The added steps are a pain.
Thanks
