I can't set up AOL email. I received error code: 8007274C. Can anybody help?
Have you tried setting it up using Other or Advance Setup? Here are the POP settings of AOL:
AOL Mail POP incoming server address: pop.aol.com
AOL Mail POP outgoing server address: smtp.aol.com
AOL Mail POP user name: Your AOL Mail screen name (what precedes "@aol.com" in your AOL Mail address; if the address is [email protected], for instance, the screen name is "me")
AOL Mail POP password: Your AOL Mail password
AOL Mail POP port (Incoming): 995
AOL Mail POP port (Outgoing): 587
AOL Mail POP TLS/SSL required (both for incoming and outgoing): yes
On Lumia devices, Advance setup doesn't have fields for Ports and Logon authentication. To enable this you'll need to include it on the incoming and outgoing server. For exam. "[email protected]:995:1". The number "1" indicates that the TLS/SSL will be enabled.

  • Haven't been able to log in to AOL email via FireFox since Friday....have to use Google

    Not sure what is going on with AOL email and FireFox, but I have not been able to access my AOL email account via FireFox since Friday. I know others are having the same issue. I have no problem if I use Google.

    Does it work in a New Private Window?

  • Why does aol email no longer work with Firefox?

    Firefox opens a couple of AOL email<br />
    messages and then no longer opens<br />
    my AOL emails. Trouble started with latest<br />
    Firefox update.<br />
    Thanks,<br />

    Hello,
    Many site issues can be caused by corrupt cookies or cache. In order to try to fix these problems, the first step is to clear both cookies and the cache.
    Note: ''This will temporarily log you out of all sites you're logged in to.''
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • How do I sync aol email on PC and iPad?

    When I delete AOL email on my IPad, they remain on my PC. When I delete them on my PC, it deletes on my IPad. How can I delete on my iPad and have it delete on my PC as well.

    You need to set the email up as IMAP in both places. This should happen by default on the iPad if you used the AOL preset to add the account. I suspect it's set up as POP on the PC.

  • 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?

    But the bookmarks are not there, I tried merging data and replacing data on this computer options but is the same.

    Thanks,

    There isn't a way to transfer your existing AOL emails to your iCloud email account without opening each one and emailing them to your iCloud email address.  However, you can stop accumulating addiional email in your AOL account by going to your email preferences for your account on the AOL website and set up your account to forward all incoming email to your iCloud account.  (I assume AOL allows you to set up email forwarding as it is a fairly standard feature with most email providers.)

  • How can i use my aol email address to create apple id?, how can i use my aol email address to create apple id?, how can i use my aol email address to create apple id?

    I'm trying to set up icloud account and it won't accept my current apple ID which is my aol email address.  I don't want to have to use a me.com address. 

    You will need to remove it as your rescue email : log into your account via the 'manage your apple id' button on http://appleid.apple.com, select the 'Password And Security' section on your account's screen, and answer the two security questions that show - you should then be taken to another screen where you can change or remove your rescue email address.
    Then try logging out of your account and then log back in and see if you can then use it as your primary email address.

  • Unable to open attachments in my aol email account, i get a run time error. I am able to open them in ie. Also unable to open up a downloaded doc in word.

    Since updating to firefox 15. whatever and now 16.0.1, i have been unable to open up any email attachments in my aol email account. I am able to view them via internet explorer. Initially the attachment will open (i can see it) but then a message of "run time error" comes up and when I close that window, the document goes blank. Also, today I clicked on a link via an aol news story and the same thing happened. It went to my firefox downloads, I was able to see part of the document and then that window with "run time error" message in it popped up. Help!!!!

    This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
    "While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."

  • Using FF to access my AOL emails I get "There was an error while loading the message. Please try again later." Access is OK via Chrome, IE & AOL's own desktop.

    "There was an error while loading the message. Please try again later." is a recent (3/4 days) error message I get when accessing my AOL emails. I can access the page and move them between states but cannot open them to read. Chrome, IE and AOL's own desktop open emails OK & can access them from the wife's PC using my AOL details. Have cleaned the history tab of everything in FF, have also removed it with add/rem progs and reinstalled - still I get the above message.
    PC - W7 Pro 64 bit, 16GB RAM etc.

    Hello,
    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    #Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    #*'''Windows:'''
    #**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    #**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    #*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    #*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
    #Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    ##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    ##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
    Thank you.
    <!-- VERY important to include-->
    <b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u>

  • I don't know what I hit while in firefox, however, the look of my aol emails changed & when I go to FB, I can no longer see pictures that I have loaded.HELP!

    Something may have happened when I cleaned out the cache & cookies ... but, I am not sure. I have lines in my aol email now ... the font is all different ... and, when I am on my own FB page, there are black boxes around everything & I cannot see my own photos in my albums.

  • Can no longer access aol email on aol web site

    When going on to the AOL website, my aol email account tries to log in but stops, says I need to change to aol basis because the connection is too slow (worked fine up to now). Doing this does bring up the email account but garbled.
    Chrome and IE work fine with aol and email account.

    Thanks for the reply Edmeister. All the tabs take a moment attempting to load, then the Inbox Preview screen pops up. I have even uninstalled FF and reinstalled it. I've checked my settings even though I've made no changes in months. Again, the mail box has never had a problem until about 2 weeks ago. Fortunately, I can retrieve my mail through my old Eudora program and do the house keeping through IE8. Just wish I knew what has changed, i.e., my fault or a program.
    Thanks again.

  • When I open my free aol email account, I keep getting redirected to a new open tab ad for Verizon Fios. Is there a way to block this in Firefox?

    I tried SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes but they didn't solve the problem. AOL email is the only place I'm having this problem and it's constantly happening while I have that email open. It will open up the same new tab time after time. Screen shot jpg will not upload but it shows 3 tabs for "FiOS Custom TV" with the following address - http://campaign.verizon.com/customizetv/?CMP=BAC-CON_2015-Q2_MM-ACQ-MZ2ACQQuizP3a_0576
    Help?

    I access my aol email through www.aol.com. When I got to my emails, another tab was automatically opening by itself and I was redirected to that newly opened tab with the page that had the Verizon Fios promotion/ad. This happened automatically and repetitively while I was trying to check my emails. (Note the multiple Verizon tabs in the screenshot attached to this inquiry)
    This happened over the last 2 days while in my free aol email account. I did notice a Verizon ad at the top of my email inbox while this was happening. I never did click on or otherwise access the Verizon ad but was constantly redirected to the new page/tab while viewing my emails. I went to my aol email just now to see if this was still occurring; there is a different ad in place of the Verizon ad and I am no longer being automatically redirected to another tab/page. Don't know why it was happening when the Verizon ad was there but it's not happening now since the Verizon ad has been replaced with another ad from a different company.
    Any thoughts on this?
    thank you

  • How do I install AOL email as my preferred email to use on Firefox?

    I have had an AOL account for more than a decade and do not want to change it to some other email service.
    I now have a MAC G5 Duel Core and can find no way to have Firefox go automatically to AOL email services when I am on Firefox and want to send an email from my AOL accounts.
    What happens is that a screen comes up and attempts to force me to enroll in a MAC email program, which I do not want for two reasons:
    1. I have a long established set of email accounts with AOL and do not want to change them.
    2. I already pay over $100 a year to AOL for my service with them, so it makes no sense to pay another $100 a year to get an additional mail service from MAC.

  • In AOL email, checking individual messages in the regular system results in this error message: There was an error loading the message. Please try again later.

    In accessing AOL email through the full version, I can navigate within my account (old mail, new mail, spam, etc.) fine, but when I try to open an individual email, I get this error message: "There was an error loading the message. Please try again later."
    This is identical to a problem someone else was describing in another thread....unfortunately, nothing you suggested to him seemed to be working. I WAS tricked into opening a file attached to an email immediately before this started, so I think its a virus or something. ANYWAY....I AM able to open the messages when I use AOL's basic version. Initially, the problem seemed only to be in Firefox, but I've tried with Internet Explorer now also, and its the same thing, and the basic version is accessible while the full version is still blocked.
    On both browsers, following the error message, I can't even click on the individual messages to TRY to open a different one, and there are some not-quite-right boxes and x's and things that appear on the screen that don't belong.
    PLEASE tell me you can't make this go away....I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox....that didn't work. I've also fun McAffee, and that didn't change anything.
