We want to make sure the email application you’re using meets the latest security standards, and that’s why your account won’t work with the current mail access protocol you are using.
Here are a few options to securely access your mail:
Option 1: We recommend that you access your mail using our free AOL app for iOS and Android or simply go to mail.aol.com to access AOL Mail on the web.
Option 2: Keep your current, non-AOL app, BUT follow a few steps to get it to sync with our secure sign-in method. The steps vary across different email applications, but in most cases, you will have to remove your AOL account from the app and then add it back again to update sign-in security. Use the links below to follow the specific steps for your current application:
Option 3: You can generate a one-time, unique app password that will allow you to sign in to your account using your non-AOL email application. Once created, this app password will continue to allow your app to securely sync your AOL email unless you sign out (or are signed out) from your app. You can find instructions on how to do this here.

You can either fix your verizon POP3 and SMTP servers, (or tell Verizon to fix them) so they don't time out, and quit screwing up verizon mail service! If you and Verizon cannot manage to do that, then just destroy AOL.com as an email app. It sucks!
