Aol mail loads slowly

since downloading firefoxs' latest version for aol, my aol email load very slowly . . . i also get crashes with this version of firefox. . any suggestions out there please?

Regarding the crashes, did you have an opportunity to review this article: [[Firefox crashes - Troubleshoot, prevent and get help fixing crashes]]? The last section addresses how you can most efficiently post crash information to this thread for review. Open the '''about:crashes''' page (type or paste about:crashes into the address bar and press Enter) and click a couple recent crash IDs. This will submit the data to Mozilla's crash server for analysis. Then you can paste the IDs here and a volunteer can take a look at the data.
Regarding AOL mail, slowness can have many causes. When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove your aol.com cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
This will open a dialog where you can remove the individual cookies.
Then try reloading the page and logging in again. Any improvement?

Firefox 3.6.13 does not load AOL mail - it logs in ok but does not load

I updated Firefox to the latest version and it will not load my AOL eMails.
I can however log into my AOL account and it shows the Welcome message and number of unread mail and also shows the folders etc. including Spam folder but it does not load the eMail or will not allow me to open any eMails.- Just shows blank.
BTW I can access my AOL mail Box with Internet Explorer.

* "Clear the Cache": Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage (Cache): "Clear Now"
* "Remove the Cookies" from sites that cause problems: Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

AOL mail not loading

I have had this phone for a year. This is the second time this has happened. The first time it seemed to fix itself (or at least I don't remember how it got better).
Originally the AOL push worked great and mail came instantly.
The AOL mail is set to push but it does not do that. Instead I have to hit refresh. When I do this it can run for an hour sometimes. When I do see new email come through I often get an error message that I cannot open the mail because it is loading - but it can continue to load for 30 minutes. GMail works fine.
I have restarted, removed battery, reloaded, etc. Any idea why this is happening and how to fix it.

Errrr I would give up AOL, if I were you.
When people send me FWDs or a long chain-list type of FWD, the AOL stuff comes out as MIME and will not display on the iPhone.
And I don't think Apple will fix that, since they don't really talk about full support for AOL, just Yahoo and Gmail -
so I would make the switch, if I were you.

Some of my AOL mails are not loading properly when using Firefox, they do come up when I use the AOL desktop, but they are S O SLOW

I have been using Firefox for a long time now since AOL became
S O SLOW with their Desktop Version in loading up mail.
But in the last two months I have been loading my AOL mail and some of mine and my husband's do not come up at all, even when they are forwarded by other people.
The header is there and it says the mail was loaded, but nothing in the actual page comes up

OK you need to upload these images to your remote server because they are missing from the server or that they have gone to a different folder.

In future always define your site correctly with all folders and file names without spaces in them. For example "drawings 20" is not a good name. You should rename it to "drawings20".
When you have corrected this especially when you have uploaded the photos again then they will appear all right on the page. after that you need to validate your pages for correct HTML and CSS but this can wait for now.
Good luck.

Delays in loading AOL mail to Apple Mail

There are times that no AOL mail appears in my Apple Mail but if I go to the AOL website, there is unread mail there. It will eventaully come through but may be 24-36 hours later.
Is it AOL or Apple?
I use my old AOL account as my "shopping" email for retail purchases, etc. that aren't important enough to send to my iphone. That way, when I order something online, all the subsequent ads aren't arriving on my phone.
I am using a MacBook Pro with 10.6.8
Any clues?

Associates of mine are having these same issues ...
They are NOT on AOL ... but a variety of other standard email servers ...
So, it does not appear to be an AOL problem.
But rather with Apple Mail in particular.
My old AOL app, far outdated now (but still works) ... does not have these issues ...
I wish Apple would not become involved in applications it does not intend to actually support and develop properly, over the twists and turns in it's own OS .... and hardware systems.
I've still not taken the time to switch away from Apple Mail, but ... the situation is not getting any better ....
It is obviously something wrong in their system, because:
Other services have the same problem ...
and the problem is not consistence or predictable ...
   the same on a variety of computers, and a variety of Mac OSs ...
I've found no reliable 'fix' for it, other than waiting ... until Apple Mail decides to actually deliver my mail ...
Sometimes over a DAY late.
    Sometimes, a message will come in, then dissapear completely, no trace of it ...
       Then reappear at some point later .... Or sometimes not at all ....
And the crazy thing is ...
Sometimes-
            Not all the messages are late ...
      Sometimes just a message or two. Even from the same service ....
         Usually though- Everything .... is late ... from all services ... not just AOL ...
           Often-
               Nothing comes in for many hours ... then poof- a pile of stuff appears, all at once.
                    I've at least gotten a sense of when it's 'withholding' my emails ...
Does anyone know either a fix for this, or a better- reliable mail application for Mac?
This is an unacceptable situation.
Thanks!
ps:
I should note:
There is nothing wrong with my internet service.
   I am working regularly online, at fairly high speeds.

Unknown error when trying to set up aol mail

AOL just stopped working as of 10am today! I sent mails this morning and now I cannot get AOL to work. I deleted the account and tried to set up AOL Mail again and I keep getting an "Unknown Error" message! HELP......

Hey there jsmugs,
It sounds like your AOL account is not working in your account, and you also cannot set it back up. I recommend the troubleshooting from the article named:

Applications load slowly on imac after Mavericks clean install

After a clean install of Mavericks, my late 2009 imac runs more slowly compared to how it ran under Snow Leopard. Applications like "Settings" take a few seconds to load, whereas under snow leopard, the application would load almost instantly. The Novabench score now is around 771, and matches about what I measured after the clean Mavericks install, but appears low compared to scores for similarly configured systems running Snow Leopard. The system is quite usable, especially if applications are left open, just slower. Is it possible to identify from Etrecheck a possible explanation? Is this level of degradation of performance expected when upgrading an old system? Thank you for your help.

AOL mail - how to have our Mac behave as the Dell does?

Hi - we're itching to ditch my partner's Dell desk top, but we're stuck with this problem. We're neither of us technically proficient, so any help would be gratefully received. My partner describes the problem:
On my PC I use AOL's own software (it was already loaded onto my Dell PC when it arrived many many years ago) to receive and send mail. As I have used my AOL address for work ever since email began I don't want to change my email address. (I don't mind having it redirected to a Mac compatible address but I don't want to change the address that everyone uses and has done for years).
I know I can now access my emails online and I know I can get my AOL mail redirected to Mail on my partner's MAC. My problem is that I have 3500 sent emails and 3500 received email archived on my PC hard drive within the AOL software. I want to be able to store and access these archives. They are a vital record of years and years of work correspondence.
Does anyone know how I can transfer that archive - in a usable form - onto my partner's MAC so that I am then able to ditch my old PC?
My idea would be a way of loading AOL onto my partner's MAC exactly as it now looks on my PC and continuing to use it just as I do now, but that seems impossible.
Thanks in anticipation!!
Ian

I'm not familiar with any old Windows AOL application, but are you saying that you know for certain that these old mails do not currently exist on AOL's IMAP servers now?
The Mail.app client readily supports AOL IMAP. Is this older mail that you have, viewable/accessible to you if you logon to your AOL mail account from a regular web browser (e.g. Safari) pointed to http://webmail.aol.com? If so, then the older mail is already there and you can just launch Mail.app and create an AOL account. It is pretty much automatic. Launch Mail.app, if you already have another mail account set up, goto File > Add Account, otherwise the new account wizard will launch automatically. The minute you put in "[email protected]" (or [email protected]) as your email address, a checkbox will appear to automatically set up the account. It will be set up as an IMAP account. So, if the older mail that you have is already visible to you in your webmail interface (from a web browser pointed to http://webmail.aol.com), you're done. The AOL IMAP account will be mirrored within Mail.app and whatever is there viewable to you via http://webmail.aol.com will be viewable from within Mail.
If not visible to you via the web interface, can you "unarchive" the mail back into an AOL mail folder from within the Windows AOL program? IF that is treating the AOL account as IMAP and not as a POP account, it would immediately be mirrored on the server, which then would be mirrored on the Mac.

Can't access AOL mail through Firefox or Safari

For the past two days I have not been able to access AOL Mail through Firefox 3.6.3 or Safari 4.0.5 browsers. The AOL homepage loads fine, but when I go to mail - the pages do not load properly. This was working fine prior and I have used AOL this way for a couple years. I have other computers and they work fine.
Today, I have tried a few different fixes. I deleted NetworkInterfaces.plist & preferences.plist from Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration and upon restart and resetting of Network settings the AOL mail page loaded properly just 1 time in Firefox. Upon restart of Firefox, the same problem returned.

Hi, have you done any Disk Maintenance lately?
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

AOL mail will not send

AOL mail will not send from iPad. It goes to outbox and stays forever. Have deleted the account and re-added the account. It test fine and verifies with no problem, but every consequent send results in server error. Accounts work find on iPod touch and webmail. The issue is with mail app only. Any advice? I just configured four of these for the kids. The two that use hotmail have no problems...it's just the AOL accounts. I even added my AOL account...and it too, fails to send from iPad.

I have an AOL account and I do not have the AOL client loaded on my PC. Our ISP is Time Warner Road Runner. iPad is connected via Wifi to Linksys E3000 cable modem router, which is connected to Motorola SB5100 cable modem. iPad will receive AOL mail OK, but will not send. iPad will receive & send OK for Road Runner mail.
Here is how I solved the problem. Apparently Road Runner does not allow to be on their network and use other mail server such as AOL to send. My guess is that is their attempt to stop spam or phishing.
I added the secondary SMTP server, which is Road Runner's SMTP and turned both primary & secondary servers on so that I can use it when I'm not at home. It now works like a charm. Road Runner SMTP doesn't work with SSL, so I had to leave that off for smtp-server.xxx.rr.com, where xxx is the location such as san for San Diego. No User Name or Password necessary.
My guess is that this is the case or other ISP's as well. Hope this helps someone.

How do i move aol mail from windows to imac?

got a new imac, trying to move mail from aol on windows to mac, assumed it was as easy as loading aol desktop and connecting....but, no mail shows up...any ideas?

Hello:
Open the Apple Mail application. There should be guidance for adding your AOL mail to the application. I have AOL mail and have it seamlessly integrated into Apple Mail. Since AOL uses IMAP, your mail resides on the AOL server.

Site loading slowly in browsers

Hi, I've created this site in iWeb 3.0.2. It's loading slowly, and even more so when on AOL. I have a lot of images per page, and try to keep them small. I'd appreciate any feedback on how to improve the loading speed in all browsers. Thanks for your help!
http://www.goodlifegear.us

You have a lot of images that are PNGs. The total file size is large and is compounded by your use of frames.
Try adding the frames before importing into iWeb and load them as JPEGs.
Using an Optimizer application will also dramatically speed up the download of your pages.

Mail loading

Hi,
I have several email accounts setup in Mail. I added another one from gmail it keeps saying incoming messages over 14k. I don't want to load all those messages which are likely old. How can I stop this?
Jeff

To answer your second question first, yes you can read downloaded mails in your Inbox and prepare mails for sending while you're off-line. Mails you have written will be stored in Outbox until you connect and then should be sent automatically.
Regarding your first question concerning speed, is everything else normal? For example, are web-pages coming in at the speed that you expect or are they also loading slowly? What about streaming media such as a YouTube video or a Spotify track? It might be helpful if you post screengrabs of Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Account Information and also Mail -> Preferences -> Accounts -> Account Information -> Outgoing Mail Server -> Edit SMTP Server List -> both Account Information and Advanced. Conceal personal info such as your e-mail address before posting the screengrabs though!
