IMAP is a method used to retrieve email from a mail server. Your messages are stored on the server, and every time you check your inbox, the email client connects the server to receive your messages. Unlike POP3, your messages are not downloaded to your computer or device, so you can sync your account on multiple platforms.
If you switch from IMAP to POP3, only new messages will go to your device from the server. None of the previously saved emails on your device will be transferred by any POP3 client.
After migrating your Verizon.net email to AOL Mail, follow the steps below to set up your third party client. Keep in mind that some sections will link to the client’s support page and they will not be able to answer questions about AOL Mail settings, or your Verizon.net username or password.
No matter what applications or software you use, IMAP saver and port settings will be the same. Just make sure SSL is enabled and you use your full email address, including @ verizon.net.
Server Settings Port Settings
Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.aol.com IMAP-993-SSL
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.verizon.net SMTP-465-SSL
SMTP settings in AOL Mail
If an email program or app does not know how to access the AOL Mail SMTP server, then it will not be able to send mail from you. POP or IMAP settings can be very well, which means that you can download and read your email properly, but without configuring the proper SMTP server settings, you can not send mail via AOL mail.
The AOL Mail SMTP server settings are exactly the same, no matter which program you are using. You can be on a tablet, a smartphone, your laptop etc., and use Windows 10 Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, or any other client-it does not matter. Enter the correct SMTP server settings and you can send mail from your AOL mail account.
SMTP server address: smtp.aol.com
SMTP Username: Enter your AOL Mail Screen Name, which comes before “@ aol.com” in your email address. For example, if your address is [email protected], then the name of the screen is “me”.
Password: Type your AOL Mail password.
Port using SSL / TLS: 587
TLS / SSL Required: Yes. Ensure that SSL encryption is enabled for incoming and outgoing email.
