AOL email sync not working

This one is brutal. I live in NJ and work in NYC. I am able to get AOL emails on my Pre all day and night when I am in NJ. However, when I come into Manhattan I stop receiving emails practically from the moment I step out of Penn Station until about 5pm.
It sounds strange but on any given day I will have emails waiting in my inbox in the morning, then when I get into the city they stop coming. The phone will attempt to update the inbox and it will state the last time it actually DID update (which is usually around the time I get into the city). I will get AOL emails on my iPhone and laptop all day, but not the Pre; that is until about 5-5:30, at that point I get all the emails I missed and they come as read.
I tried replacing the phone, no go, by the way they have exchanged the phone for me twice already so this is my 3rd Pre and they all do the SAME Thing. I have had Sprint and Palm upgrade this to Level II tech support, they are dumbfounded. AOL won't even talk with me and they insist that I speak to the hardware manufacturer. I have tried every type of possible settings options with both Palm and Sprint to no avail. Now I am passed the 30 day refund policy so I am stuck with this phone. I thought maybe it's an SSL issue and I noticed that my certificate manager was empty, Palm said that it had nothing to do with this issue, but then again they don't have a solution for me yet! 
It's a joke. Has anyone seen this issue??? Can anyone help me here??? I really like the phone but with this issue it will never be an iPhone killer for me. And I would hate to think that I am the only one with this issue. 
Any advise?
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

From what I am gathering it is an AOL issue not Palm. I have been in touch with AOL tech support (the biggest joke) and they have been unable to help. The issue needs to be resolved thru AOL server support. The only issue is that WE cannot reach out to them, only AOL support can write up a ticket and send it to them. Here is the rub; you never get to know if they can or cannot repair the issue because they never contact the end user. So For the past 4 weeks I have been calling tech support and having them create a follow up report on the issue. It's a waste of time from what I am seeing but I have no choice.
I have since notified all of my friends and family that I now have a Gmail account, I have my AOL forwarded to the gmail account and set up my gmail account on the Pre. The only issue with that is for some of the people that send email to you it may be confusing because while you get the AOL emails it sent to your gmail account (meaning people are emailing you to AOL.com) you can only reply with Gmail, so some of the less tech savvy people may get confused. I was fortunate to get the same user name for both accounts; drvsafe; so that is at least one less thing for people to think about. but it is a bit disapointing that this issue couldnt be resolved. Keep me in the loop if you manage to get a better result or are able to resolve it and I will dothe same.

  • The links in aol email do not work - how do I enable them?

    I am using the aol toolbar for firefox and none of the links in the emails work.

    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
    That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
    You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
    If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each.

  • I set up my iCloud account on iPad with an exchange account and aol account.  I can see exchange and aol emails but not those from .me account or apple email.  I got it to show all 3 accounts on my iPhone with no problem.  Hat am I missing?

    I'm having a similar problem, but I do have the key and is not working anyway.
    My old pc was running on windows 7 and my new one is an apple running on Lion.
    My phone is an Iphone IV and I can see all the bookmarks there.
    In order to sync, what I did was click on the "I don't have the device with me", I entered the key that was provided and the process finish ok. It says congratulations, etc, etc.
    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.
    Any suggestions?

  • AOL Email Sync issues

    My AOL email is not properly syncing. For example, if I delete an email on my Galaxy S III, it does NOT delete reflect as deleted when I check my AOL account on another device and vice versa. Samsung support was worthless and I'm hoping someone has a recommendation here. Thanks!

    I have added the AOL account two ways. First using the choice of selecting AOL setup and following the steps--which skip certain steps that are available when setting up manually. That didn't work. Then I followed the troubleshooting advice given in FAQs and deleted my AOL account and proceeded to setup the account manually with both the required IMAP and POP3 settings. This also didn't work. So I have given up and am instead checking my AOL email via the internet on my phone instead. This is giving me real-time updates that affect my account and can be seen via all devices. Since I followed both versions of directions and am pretty darned savvy with technology--I would GUESS that AOL is what's broken. But that I cannot control. I also searched through the options I had on the AOL side to manually modify my settings to ensure proper syncing and there is not a lot that can be influenced by the standard user. If you have additional ideas, I'm open--otherwise I will settle for monitor via internet instead. Thanks!

  • Exchange email will not work when offline

    Anyone know when Apple will fix this issue?  Email will not work correctly unless connected to wireless.  This makes it impossible to be productive while flying.  This is exclusive to exchange servers as it woks on POP accounts.  

    I know that.  When I work on my laptop I can file, reply, delete etc. and when I land it updates all the folders and sends and recevies all the mail.  the iPad will not let you file or delete emails unless connected.  This makes flying time completely unproductive.  If I have to have a laptop to do email why have an iPad???

  • My iCloud email does not work. Getting error message that i need to uncheck SSL . This does not work. Help

    icloud Email does not work. When running Connection doctor it indicates I must check or uncheck SSL. This has not fixed the problem

    iCloud email addresses (@mac.com, @me.com and @icloud.com) require SSL. Is your address an iCloud address or someone else?

  • Wifi Sync not working on iOS 6 and iTunes 10.7 with iPhone 4S

    I am running Windows 7 64-bit but WiFi Sync is not working on either my iPhone 4S or my wife's iPhone 4S.  Worked fine before upgrading.  All settings look correct in iTunes 10.7 and on our iPhones 4S's.  Already tried uninstalling iTunes and all associated Apple programs (Bonjour, Apple Mobile Device Support, Apple Application Support, etc) and reinstalling iTunes but no help.  Temporarily disabling Norton Firewall did not help.  If I hook up either of our two 4S phones via USB wire, they Sync and Backup fine.  Just WiFi Sync not working.  Can't initiate sync from iPhones because button is ghosted stating it is waiting for PC to be present.  Phones don't show up under Devices in iTunes unless hard-wired via USB cable.  Any suggestions?

    I am getting sync issues too (although on OSX) - seems like others are getting issues too:

    I have the same problem.  I called Apple this morning, they told me that they restored "half" of the people affected last night and the next update will be 11 am EST.  Very frustrating to say the least!

  • Email is not working properly and dvr is freezing.

    I never thought I would say this but I am considering going back to cable. I have been calling verizon for 2 weeks now. My email is not working. I did not get any email for about 3 days, then when I called I got a couple (I normally get about 70 per day). Now I get 3 or 4 a day and it seems I have to call them daily. Their server is rejecting emails. I have many things I am waiting for (business contracts, etc) and I am not getting them. CLients are telling me that their emails are being rejected by verizons servers. I am not getting any answers from verizon. All that happens is when I complain, I get email for about an hour (sporadically) and then it stops again. I have really had enough of it at this point. And the DVR freezing for the last several months.. well that is another issue. It is time to look into optimum again

    Hi mooster --  I sent you a private message so I can get some more information about the problems you're having and so we can figure out what's going on.  Please get back to me when you're able.  Thanks!

  • Share option for email does not work after Yosemite upgrade.

    Hi,
    Does anybody know why the share option, "Share via email" does not work anymore after Yosemite upgrade?  I love this feature.  It's just quick and easy.
    Rod.

    On Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 no longer recognizes the Share > Send Via Email categories. You will have to export and manually drag/drop/attach documents to Mail. There is no fix.

  • Enbedded pictures on AOL email will not display, yet does on Internet Explorer?

    Enbedded pictures on AOL email will not display, yet does on Internet Explorer?

    If you increased the minimum font size then try the default setting 'none' as a high value can cause issues like you described.
    * Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
    * Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
    See also [[Websites look wrong]]
    If you need to increase (or decrease) the font size on websites then look at the NoSquint or Default FullZoom Level extension.
