Access AOL email via IMAP in mail clients
Authored by: JPBankston on Apr 08, '04 01:11:50AM
I found the following link that describes the setup. http://help.channels.aol.com/article.adp?catId=1&sCId=416&sSCId=4093&articleId=217449 It mentions that the port that needs to be used for the smtp server (smtp.aol.com) is 587 and not the usual port of 25. I've made this change but still cannot send via the smtp server - but perhaps this will fix the problem for someone else.

Regarding the send problem some have experienced. I tested 3 imap clients on my system.
  • Entourage works :)
  • Thunderbird works :)
  • Mail.app does not work :(
