About October 20 email thing
I haven’t noticed any changes I can use the old app did you guys do it yet
While the connection you have been using may still work and was once the best, a better, more secure option is available. Basic auth is an older authentication method. A more secure authentication method called OAuth2 is now available. To ensure your account remains secure, we are requiring all applications to support OAuth2. See here more info:

If your account is still signed in to an app using basic authentication on October 20th, we will block access on that application as a security measure until you make updates to your account. This does not mean you will lose your email. You have other options to access your email. See more info here:

User Troubleshoot on AOL website
Troubleshoot Section on AOL website allows the user to go to that site can resolve the problem i.e font too small, contacts are duplicated, contacts are listed by first name (duh)? Rather than call (wait) and talk to TECH.
The trouble trouble shoot section was on the old AOL website

Nice App, but one big glitch ...
I have been an AOL user for 27 years (since it was a Macintosh User Group accessed by dial-up modem). Just downloaded the new app and have tested it heavily the past 2 days.
Overall, quite functional and intuitive. I’m using an iPhone 8. But there is one big glitch, which needs to be fixed.
When I click email links from companies whose apps are installed on my phone, the AOL app fails to launch the apps! My “old” email program ALWAYS opens the apps that correspond with my email links. This is a fundamental function for a smart phone—knowing…

Need help please
I thought you said the 20th October you’re no longer supporting third-party apps and whatever else I don’t understand that really

App status.
If I spent 2 hours on the phone 3 days ago getting the app installed why am I still getting the “Final Email” notice for 3rd party use and security. Does the right hand not know what the left is doing. ? Tech was very helpful. I thought this was fixed.

We did send an email that we’re updating our authentication policies around third-party email access to better protect your email account. You may need to update your account settings in third-party programs to use a more secure approach. By default, we block access to your email account if you are using outdated apps that could leave your account vulnerable. If we sent you an email indicating that your app is using outdated security protocols or you’re unable to log in from an older app, you still have several options available to you.

From old to new version.
I down loaded new version and got rid of the old, I used my same email address cause everyone has that email. I am still getting notices that the old is shutting down I must update. I also used my old password cause I have never forgotten it about many pass words that I do forget so I stuck with same email and password! Yet I still get the notices. By using same email and old password on newer version does this mean I will still lose the AOL?
