How do I check and/or change the security settings in Mail for my AOL account? I received a message from AOL stating, ' that your current third party email application (Mail) is not using the latest, secure mail connection settings.' I checked and it's not SPAM.

These are the settings I need to have, but I can't see how to check and modify them. I'm pretty sure the servers are correct but I can't see anything about SSL. Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.aol.com Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.aol.com Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server. IMAP - 993 - SSL SMTP - 465 - SSL SMTP - 587 - SSL / TLS Additionally I don't know if they're referring to my laptop or my iPhone or both.

Give the following a try while running the Mail app on your Mac: • Either disable or delete your existing AOL account in the Mail app. • Create a new AOL email account. • Mail > Preferences > Accounts > '+' > AOL > Continue • Enter your name, AOL email address, and AOL email account password.

• BEFORE clicking on Sign In, hold down the Option key, and then, click on Sign In. • You will now have the opportunity to enter both the account type (POP or IMAP), the Incoming (POP or IMAP) and Outgoing (SMTP) servers used by your email provider, and the SSL/TLS settings. Note: For the best security, use SMTP - 587 - SSL/TLS for your outgoing server's settings. Tesserax, Odd problems myself here. I'm with AOL, recently migrated from Verizon and retaining verizon.net.

Was able to recently move to the AOL servers with a pop account and configuration. Not so with IMAP. After much effort, was able to move off the Verizon servers and get the incoming and outgoing to take. When signing in through my browser or using Mail 11.0, email address and password info is accepted. Mail is able to create the pop account, just not the IMAP account. When I try to add the account.unable to verify. I tried the option key in tandem with the sign in button, but it didn't do anything different.

Not sure if I'm looking at an operator's head space issue on my part or if there is a fix for this. Tesserax, I have six AOL accounts. In several if not all of these accounts I received the same message that BarryMacMan did.

I'm running Sierra 10.12.6 with Mail v10.3 (3273) on a Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014 iMac. These AOL mail accounts have worked fine for many, many years on my Macs and iPhones/iPads. I use the AOL accounts ONLY for email. I do not have all of my AOL accounts installed on all of my Apple devices.

To test your instructions, I added an AOL account not previously residing on my iMac. Following your bullet 3, BEFORE clicking on Sign In, I held down the Option key and then clicked Sign In. I did not get the opportunity you mentioned to edit any settings. Instead, I got this: I deleted the newly-added account and tried a second time with the same result.

Sometime back Verizon gave their e-mail operations to AOL. All has been working well until earlier this week when suddenly the IMAP folders would not sync. Checking online, all that could be found was to reset the IMAP settings in Outlook.

When I go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts, select any AOL account from the left hand column, then Server Settings and scroll down to the bottom of Outgoing Mail Account to get to Edit SMTP Server list, NONE of my AOL accounts appear in the resulting window. The only accounts shown are my local FreeNet's POP accounts and my iCloud account (but not my @mac account). Export mac contacts to outlook. I don't find any way to view or edit the settings on my AOL accounts.
