AOL Mail Server Settings (IMAP / POP)

AOL Mail supports both POP3 and IMAP, so you can check your messages from any email program you like (while still able to access them from a desktop or mobile web browser).

Configure your program with IMAP Settings to see all email folders in your account, and be able to create folders from the desktop that will appear on the "live" version of your account:

IMAP email address / username	Your full address, in the form "`you@aol.com`"
Incoming mail server	`imap.aol.com`
SMTP outgoing server	"`smtp.aol.com`", using port "`587`"
Security	Supports "`SSL`" for IMAP and "`TLS`" for SMTP
SMTP username / password	Your full email address and AOL password

Use POP Settings to simply receive incoming emails, and manage your own, separate set of folders inside your email program: the Spam Settings you configured also affect POP3 access:

POP username / email address	Your full address, in the form "`you@aol.com`"
Incoming mail server	`pop.aol.com`
SMTP outgoing server	"`smtp.aol.com`", using port "`587`"
Security	Supports "`SSL`" for POP3 and "`TLS`" for SMTP
SMTP username / password	Your full email address and AOL password
Note: If you don't check "Leave messages on server" during account setup, new emails will automatically be deleted from server, and only stored inside your email program.

Depending on your email program, you may be able to "check server settings" and send yourself a test email; regardless, you should start seeing messages download from AOL, and be able to start sending them (if needed, start with a test message to yourself for confirmation).
Tip: if you cannot send emails, contact your internet service provider. To avoid spam issues, many block standard outgoing ports (587 for AOL), and will give you another one instead.
