AOL is freezing my Mail

I'm in dire need of a fix here because I can't even launch my Mail without it freezing and getting me the 'beach ball'.
Is there any way I can delete my AOL account from Mail WITHOUT LAUNCHING IT? I tried deleting the folder in the Library>Mail section but it keeps coming back.
Please help as I'm in need of accessing my email, and all in one place like Mail allows me.
Thanks so much

So I basically resolved this issue by deleting my entire Mail (all 4 accounts) but NOW I can't load in my AOL account.
Everytime I go to create this account in preferences it tells me that it can't 'Send Your Password Securely' and that I need to set up manually.
I've tried setting up manually before and get nowhere. When I select 'Automatic' the account shows up there in my Mail accounts list but the status bar just spins.
Any ideas?
thanks

Attachments freeze in MAIL

Attachments freeze in MAIL
The "Choose File" blinks..I cannot cance, or save, or select all, or dismiss.

I just experienced the same issue...
Although, it chaged a bit: sometimes hitting the "Attach file" Button would freeze mail, sometimes not. But adding an Image by drag'n'drop freezes the app everytime here.
Even replying to an email containing attachments (like images) would result in Mail.app freezing, as the attachment would be copied to the new email...
And it seems it's not related to the Upgrade to Mavericks, it worked like charm the last couple of months, now its happening....
I tried re-creating the Mail Account, removed the mail.plist, removed all emails on disk, had it downloaded new... I don't know what to do next...
Does anybody have any idea how to fix it?

My aol screen freezes when I try to click through a series of photos.

My aol screen freezes when I try to click or swipe through a series of photographs or similar images. Rebooting my iPad does not solve the problem. Has anyone else had this problem and/or come up with a fix?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

AOL My eAddress e-mail to Mac.mail

Hello,
I have AOL My eAddress e-mail. I would like to know what the AOL servers are to set it up w/.mac
Please help.
Thank you,
James

AOL does support the use of alternative clients like OS X Mail to access mailbox content using IMAP technology. If that is what you want to do, as opposed to forwarding AIM Mail or AOL mail to a .Mac account, then you can create a Mail account using this information:
In the Account Information pane:
Account Type: IMAP
Description: <whatever you want to call it>
Email Address: <[email protected]>
Full Name: <Your Name>
Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
User Name: <your username>*
Password: <your password>
In the Servers Settings supplemental dialog box:
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): smtp.aol.com
Server port: 993
√ Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
Authentication: Password [from the drop-down menu]
User Name: <your username>*
Password: <your password>
Your User Name is that portion of your AOL electronic mail address to the left of the @ symbol and the domain name.

Having trouble accessing AOL through the mac mail program

Accessing mail from AOL through the Mac mail applicantion has never been a problem. Now all of a sudden it is. Software is up to date, tried working with Apple personnel, no luck. Any suggestions?

When you're in mail, if you click on window, and connection doctor, what does it tell you about your AOL account? If it's a green light status, your Apple mail is able to sign into AOL without issue. If it's red, and you double click on it, it should take you to the part of your profile that needs fixing.

Syncing aol email accounts with mail?

I'm new to Mac, and I love my macbook but I can't figure out how to set up my aol email accounts using imail. Is that possible? I have two aol email accounts and I've been going on aol.com to check my messages but lately it hasn't been loading so I don't know what to do!
How can I sync my aol email accounts with imail? Is aol considered IMAP?

Yes, AOL accounts must be set up as IMAP in Mail, but AOL has a lot of idiosyncrasies and some really nasty “features” that normal IMAP accounts don’t have and that you should be aware of.
To more easily set up your AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
Instructions for setting up an AOL account in standard mail clients such as Mail should be available somewhere on AOL’s website, and can also be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
These instructions are for Mail 1.3, and are somewhat outdated, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x, and I believe you can now enable SSL for both the incoming (Preferences > Accounts > Advanced) and the outgoing mail server if you wish.
Instead of the settings shown in the article for Trash, you may want to turn ON Move deleted messages to the Trash, but in that case you should turn OFF Store deleted messages on the server.
AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved — that’s why you must turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that they are stored locally instead.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of (which is also somewhat outdated, but still useful to understand how AOL’s IMAP access works):
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Note in particular that AOL automatically purges your mail from Inbox after some time. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.

Aol is freezing since 11/8 update?

Aol is freezing since 11/8/11 update to system help

Hello there Graeme,
It sounds like your apps are behaving unexpectedly after you updated to iOS 8. I would start by quitting all the running apps first:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

HT201320 AOL will not load mail on my iPad. Has been working for months and suddenly gives message "wrong username or password"?

Aol suddenly stopped loading mail on my iPad after months of use. Message comes up "username or password incorrect". I did NOT change this and mt email works on my desktop and other apple device. Tried resetting device, syncing device, everything's updated...tried deleting the account and now it will not restore at all. Don't know what else to do. Anyone have a solution?

Use Software Update to update your OS to last version of Snow Leopard. Install all the other updates that goes along w/it. There maybe a few for Mail.

IMAP AOL not showing sent mail

When I set up a friend's AOL email account using mac mail, the folders appear, including "sent items", but sent items never appear.
It there something I must do from AOL?
thank you
alan

Hello Alan.
If your friend wants to store messages sent with the Mail.app on the server for the AOL account, go to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and under the Mailbox Behaviors tab for the account preferences, is "Store sent messages on the server" selected?
If so, open the AOL account icon in the mailboxes drawer to reveal the Sent Items mailbox. Select the Sent Items mailbox and at the menu bar, go to Mailbox > Use This Mailbox For and select Sent.

Specific E-mail with links causing freeze using Mail

My wife is getting newsletter style e-mail from Better Homes and Gardens that contain links to pictures and other websites. These pictures only appear if internet access is connected so I believe that they are links that only are active once the mail is selected. If the internet is off, the space for the photos is blank.
I have isolated the problem to these specific e-mail messages that once selected, start some process of internet activity that causes the entire system to freeze and I get the beachball. If I don't click on the message, everything is fine. If I then turn off the internet access and open that message I can read it but there are no pictures or links. And the system continues to work fine. If I leave the internet on and click on the message, it opens with the links and I can see pictures etc., BUT as I continue to read the message the computer will freeze up within 20 seconds. If I try to click on any links within the message the computer freezes almost instantly. Also, if I quickly get out of the message and try to view a different message from any other sender that also contains links, all the links and photos become unavailable. And within a couple seconds the computer is locked up.
From watching my internet access speed monitor and listening to the hard drive it appears that the message is initiating some internet access or hard drive activity that interupts other mail functions and locks up the machine.
Anyone know how to troubleshoot this further? Does it help to look at the message in it's raw coded form? What would I look for?
Thanks,
Curtis

You know, I expected an answer like; "Your parental control can't be used like that. Its just a program, so it will try to block adult sites, or block unsecure connections. Like AOL mail for example. If you want her to access the school mail, then you'll just have to allow unrestricted access to the web. You can still monitor her web browsing. As for gmail, some email sites are able to be accessed even with the parental controls turned on."
I even expected some arrogant replies like Carolyn's. Telling me how to access gmail.
Thanks for nothing!

How to delete message from the fodler of AOL account using Java mail

Hello All,
I am using Java MAil API in my application, i want to delete message from AOL account's folder,
when i set the folder as "Recently Deleted" or "Trash" , i get an exception as "folder does not exist".
when i tested , some times mail is moving into Recently Deleted folder, but not every time.
this is happening in both the interface as AOl Interface or my application.
when i use folder.close(true) after setting the flag of message as DELETED. it completely remove the message from the acount.
but i want to let the message be remained in the Recently Deleted folder. what should i do.
i dont want to remove the message completely from the account.I am using IMAP also.

You'll need to figure out what the real name of the "Recently Deleted" folder is on the AOL IMAP server
(assuming it's a real folder and not some sort of "virtual" folder), then copy the message into that folder.
See the folderlist.java demo program as a way to explore the names of all the folders on the server.

Help, I set up AOL on my Mac Mail Application, now the mail is gone on AOL.

Howdy there fellow Mac supporters I was lucky enough to get some help setting up an IMAP account on my i-macs Mail Application today from this forum's wisdom and it worked fine.
Now, come to find out, all the mail is now on my i-mac but is no longer on AOL. Can I return it to it's AOL home? Can't the INBOUND mail reside in both places? They do with my .mac account.
Please help, this is more for my wife that uses another mac in the house and doesn't have the mail application set up on that computer, she uses AOL, go figure....

Hey Ernie,
I am sorry about the delay. Not only did I have to rush to Eagle Rock and pick up one of LA's premier pizza's for my family but I wanted to give your suggestion some thought time.
I changed the set up in Preferences->imap.cs.com and it didn't make any noticable difference so I left it changed.
What I did do, is go to AOL and check the 'Old' email and selected it as KEEP AS NEW...what happened is all the old/saved mail was returned to the AOL 'inbox' and turned from read mail on the imail application to new mail, hence returned from the dead.
Thanks for the time and effort in getting me a response and giving me some direction. Your a great asset to us floundering mac lovers that get lost or confused along the way.
Have a great weekend. I hope we 'meet' again because you are a great mac genius to know.
Regards.
Eric

System freeze in mail

My new IPad Air freezes randomly when I am deleting mail. Very frustrating! What's the problem?

Have you tried to update it to iOS 8.2? It says it has some stabilization for mail in it.
Another thing to try is to delete and then re-add your mail info.
