    Please delete and re-add your account in the Mac Mail app. 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 @verizon.net 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

    After this turning ON this option, check if your mail application is able to connect. If the problem persists, verify if the “Two-step verification” option on the Account Security page (the URL above) is turned ON or OFF.

    In case this feature is turned ON, you will have to create a unique application-specific password for each one of your email applications, by following the steps from the section titled “How do I set…

  9. I have been receiving 50 or more ****** emails from a company in Belize each week.

    The Belize company has a postal address but does not have a domain address. Each sexually oriented Email that is sent from this company to my Email has a different domain address. I have tried to unsubscribe but the request is ignored. In fact I think that the underlying company has increased the number of offensive emails. I think AOL should investigate the company and do something to prevent them from sending out these offensive sexually oriented emails.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention, I have passed it along. If Spam is bypassing the filters, marking mail as Spam or Not Spam is the best and most reliable way to bring spam under control.

    You can also create a filter in your emails to direct those specific communication to Spam/Trash if they have any term in common.

  10. I was forced into AOL when verizon bought the company. Why should I have to pay for an upgraded AOL account when I pay for Fios

  12. Cease operations !!!

    my last email client allowed me to see full header information. I have been asked repeatedly by tech support why I found this of value. In my opinion, anyone who asks such a dumb question shouldn't be a Second Tier Support Specialist. Also, the 24/7 promise of phone support is a joke. After several disconnects on a Sunday night, I've concluded that they don't care how much you run up your airtime on your cell, listening to droning voice robot. As I mentioned earlier it's not possible to reach them by landline. One has to hang up to receive security…

    Thank you for reaching out. If you’re having issues with email notifications from Facebook:

    Make sure you have signed up for your Facebook account with this particular email address.
    Check your spam or junk email folder for these messages. If they are in either of these folders, be sure to add the @facebookmail.com email domain to your email account’s safe senders list.
    If you’re still not receiving emails from Facebook, contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider) to ensure that they aren’t blocking email traffic coming from Facebook.
    Learn how to report a problem with the Facebook team if the issue continues: https://www.facebook.com/help/186570224871049

  15. Why

    Why are we being asked if we want to go to another site to receive the e-mail on some screen names? This pop up appears on some of my addresses and not on others. I always say NO and re-enter password and the inbox shows up properly. Getting tired of having to do this. Don't trust wanting t o go to another site.

  16. Disappearing Email

    For 2 weeks now, email has been "self-migrating" from my inbox and old mail box to the trash heap. 5 rounds of working with tech support and 3 hours of what has so far been wasted time and here's the latest, if you care to read it:

    If you access AOL Mail from an app on your mobile device or your computer, your settings or actions could have caused emails to be deleted from your account.
    Desktop apps, like Outlook, Thunderbird, and Mac Mail, or any mobile mail apps can access AOL Mail using POP.
    One POP setting, will delete email from your account when it’s downloaded.
    Please check if your account is set up as POP in any third party mail client. If that is the case, to disable the “delete emails from server” option, please contact your app manufacturer.

  17. LOST ABILITY TO HOVER OVER SENDER

    Before yesterday, I was able to hover over any incoming email to read the email address of the sender. It must have just broken, because now when I hover, the name shows in a blip, like a flash and is NOT readable!
    PLEASE fix back to the way it was!
