Get providers outgoing address and enter it after you have deleted and set-up a new e-mail account. Enter the address under Host instead of the smtp.aol.com one, click done and it works...worked for my ipad and iphone after I lost it when upgraded! Hope this helps...
I use at&t, so mine was smtp.att.yahoo.com

  • Aol mail not working on mac

    I am having trouble with my AOL mail on my IMAC. It keeps coming up with the following message.
    Cannot send message using the server smtp.aol.com: XXXXXXX
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    I have checked the settings and password. I have also deleted and re entered the account. I have sent a test message direct from AOL and it has worked. I have also set up a GMAIL account on mac mail and it has worked. I am stumped on what to do next. Any ideas please.

    After exhausting all possibilities regarding this problem I finally spoke to someone at Apple care who solved the problem.
    So here is the work around which worked for me.
    Close Mac Mail
    Open Finder Window- click on GO menu then press and hold the Option key(alt key)
    This will display your User Library. Click on the Library icon
    Locate 'Mail' file and drag to desktop,
    Locate Preferences file and locate  com.apple.mail.plist. file
    Drag to desktop,
    Log out and log back in again-or restart computer,
    Open Mac Mail and create new Aol account- or whichever account you use, eg, yahoo or Gmail etc.
    Sometimes only deleting the .plist file is not enough, you may need to delete the actual 'Mail' file at the same time.
    Moving them to the desktop is a safety net so that if it doesn't work properly after you restart and re-enter your account information at least you have it as back up and you can go back and re-install it and try another method.
    This worked perfectly for me. I hope it does for others aswell, because I know how frustrating it is to go through all the forms and keep getting the same answers but no solutions.
    Good Luck...

  • AOL mail not working on iPad

    Hi All...
    All of a sudden, AOL mail on the iPad has stopped working. I'm getting the message
    The mail server "imap.aol.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settings
    Well, I've ensured that the username and password in the mail settings are correct. I've also gone to the web interace for AOL mail and the username and password are correct. I've also removed the account from the iPad and tried readding it with no luck.
    I'm wondering if this has something to do with the recent SSL / TLS security problem that came to light the other day?!?!
    Anyone else experencing this?

    I have two AOL accounts that are working fine. However, I get the same message from time to time on my iPhone and my iPad..... And I get the message out of the blue for no reason at all. I either wait it out, or more often than not, I close the mail app completely and restart or reset my devices and that works for me.
    What I am saying is, I think that it is more related to something hinky on the iPad and not AOL itself. Reset your iPad and see if that helps.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Aol mail not working in Mac Mail

    I have had this problem several times and it's getting rather irritating. The SMTP servers are not responding. The following message keeps coming up:
    Sending the message content to the server failed.
    Select a different outgoing mail server from the list below or click Try Later to leave the message in your Outbox until it can be sent.
    After changing ports and following the numerous suggestions experienced by countless others with the same problem time and time again I still have found no solid reason as to why this happens or how to simply resolve the issue.
    If anyone with knowledge and experience can shed any light on this troublesome problem then please make yourselves known.
    I have followed threads and made all the correct adjustments including deleting and creating a new email account. Is this an AOL issue or a Mac issue? The mail works fine on the ipad and iphone.
    I have also tried using different wifi and cable connections with the macbook I have my account installed on. It's the latest software 10.8.4 and a macbook pro 13'. 2011 model.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Chris

    Hello Chris,

  • Samsung note II, known issue of aol mail not being received on phone

    I spent hours on the phone with Customer Service this past Wednesday & Thursday because my aol mail is not being received on my new phone. I just did some research online, and found out this has been an issue with AOL and Verizon since December 2012. The Customer Service rep told me this just happened the past week! What a bold faced lie!
    I purchased this phone on or about July 3, and the AOL mail was working fine until this past Wednesday.
    This is a know issue, and yet the lie right to your face about it.
    I had a C/S rep tell me he would call me back later in the day, before he left work. I told him, I have heard that before. Oh, no, I will call you. Of course he didn't call. Your C/S reps think they can say whatever they want, but the calls have been monitored or tracked someway by your computer system.
    I see many others have the same problem with the Samsung Note II and their email accounts.
    Since December this has been going on, don't you think it's time you fixed the problem?
    Two years ago, when I spent $200 on a phone, I said never again. But yet I wanted a 5.5" screen so I paid up! Never again!

    I FINALLY spoke to someone today who was able to solve my problem so far.
    In the PLAY STORE....look for K9 email app.....and download that...put in your AOL email address and password. You should now be able to receive your aol email on your phone.
    It seems he has a Note II also, and had the same problem.
    You would think that MANAGEMENT would tell all their C/S reps how to solve the problem. I guess they would rather lose a customer who has been with them for 10 yrs.

  • Mail not working in new mini mac

    i got new mini mac and mail not working. i get this message.
    You have Mail version 4.2 (1078/1084). It can’t be used on Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 (Build 10K549). For more information, click the Help button.
    dont know what to do
    thanks

    Should be Mail 4.5.  With Spotlight, check to see if you have more than one version of the Mail app onboard.  Also, make sure that there is one at the root level of the Applications folder, and that it is namely simply Mail before applying the Combo.

  • HT2216 I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  Any clues?

    I am on OSX 10.7.5 and recently had to reinstall it due to 'mail' not working correctly.  That problem was resolved but now my I can't use the 'right click' function on the apple usb mouse.  I only have a previous version re-install disc as I bought the latest OSX off the app store.  Any help gratefully received?

    Hmmm, no, no drivers needed, now it sounds like a bad install... unless you might have some old Mouse software installed???
    If 10.7.0 or later...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.
