Windows 10: aol will not sync in windows mail?

windows mail will not sync with my aolplease help or tell me it will no longer work with aol

:)

 

I can no longer sync AOL mail in Win 10

UPDATE:

• I tried disabling AOL's "2-Step Verification", trying both the standard web-password and a special AppPassword; neither allowed Win10 to sync (i.e., pop) my AOL mail.
  
• I also disabled all of the MsWin10 firewalls; still no success syncing from AOL.
  
• By the way, I can direct AOL to forward the email it receives; and that does get to the Win10-Outlook mail's inbox; but that is not a good long-term solution for me (by itself).
  

... needless to say, I'm still looking for things to try.

 

Windows Live Mail with (Verizon) AOL help!!

I received this email from AOL back in November.

[table][tr][td][table][tr][td][/td] [td][table][tr][td][/td] [/tr] [tr][td]Hi AOL Member, We love that you love using AOL email. And we want to make sure you always have the best experience. That’s why we’re reaching out today. We’ve noticed that you’re using non-AOL applications (such as third-party email, calendar, or contact applications) that may use a less secure sign-in method. To protect you and your data, AOL will no longer support the current sign-in functionality in your application starting on December 7, 2021. This means that you will need to take one of the steps below to continue using your AOL Mail without interruption. But don’t worry, you have options: 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:

• iOS Mail
• Gmail
• Samsung Mail
• Others

Option 3: You can generate a one-time, unique password that will allow you to sign in to your account using your non-AOL email application. Once created, this 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. If you want more details on these changes, please visit our help page. If you’ve already taken action, we’d like to think you haven’t read this far, but if you have... we appreciate the diligence! Thanks for rocking that AOL email address! The AOL Team[/td] [/tr] [tr][/tr] [/table]

AOL mail

Hello MartyXF:

Thank you for posting to the forum regarding the issues you are having with your AOL account on your Windows Phone 7. At this point there has not been a lot of detail provided regarding the issue you are experiencing. With that said I am providing you
some basic troubleshooting steps and a couple links to other threads about issues that seem to be similar to what you are describing.

The first thing I would suggest you do is go to the phone and tap settings > time + date > turn off automatically set > set the time, date and time zone manually. Once this is done, go back to settings and tap on emails + accounts. Tap and hold the AOL
account and sync.

If you still cannot get the account to sync the next thing I would suggest you do is delete the account from your phone and try re-adding it to the phone. You can do this by going to settings > emails + accounts > tap and hold the account > select delete
> tap add account > select other account > enter the AOL account details.

If the issue continues please review the following threads to see if the steps in these help.
