Email password( AOL)

To the Apple tech specialist,or any Mac specialist.... Is there a way you can color code the little blue icon that indicates a New mail in the folder to indicate read already by someone else so that if the person hits the save email as unread it does not change back to the same blue unread email icon. The reason why I'm asking this is because I have had someone remotely reading my emails and re saving them as unread. so if there is a way it can change colors that will be great. I tried changing my password but it is still happening

That seems to be far beyond what Apple would assist with. It would require changing the mail protocols to allow for a third state of unread flag. You might contact AOL and ask that they disable the ability to toggle the unread flag but I don't see that happening. If your mail is being read after your password was changed there is probably a keylogger on your computer. I advise changing your aol password from your phone in safari and never typing that aol password on a computer where others might have access to it.
Personally I would suggest get a new AOL address from safari on the iPHone for the iPhone and just don't tell your stalker or ever use it on a computer.

Aol email password does not stay in phone

Aol works now for about 5 minutes on my phone after I delete and reinstall. I get the following email from Verizon;
Your account [email protected] could not be authenticated. If you have recently changed your email password, please enter the most current password in settings to continue receiving emails.
Bought the phone in October and it worked fine up until 3 months ago. About every week or so I would get the above email and would reconfigure the account and it would get emails for about a week. Now it only takes a few minutes to get the email and for the phone to stop receiving AOL.
The entered password is correct. We have not changed it.
My wife and sons have the same phone and have no problems accessing the account
Spoke to Verizon support yesterday and they said they were not sure what was going on and we did a hard reset and the problem still exists.
Spoke to Best Buy Samsung experience rep who said the problem is that only one phone can access aol. Why did it work for 2 years with the older phones and for 6 months with the new?
I really use this email a lot now to communicate with teams I coordinate. Anyone have a solution? Thanks

Have you removed that AOL account from the list....and tried to set up it from scratch ?
Looks like the internal AOL database files have been corrupted., and needs be removed completely from your s3.
Aside from a total Phone reset..this is how I solved this on different droid devices.:
1.) Clean your AOL Email CACHE out completely,on the settings..app. menu, .. Before removing your AOL acct and settings. SHUT cel off completely and do a hard reboot.
2.) And...From your AOL.9.5 User master account, CHANGE your AOL PW from via a PC ..THEN set up your AOL acct. on your Cel phone with the new sign in PW.
Re-do the AOL acct, as per your Droid's recommended procedure. ...only on the 3/4g VZW network. .Don' t do it on a WiFi .
I try to stay FAR away from the AOL app.like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aol.mobile.aim&hl=en

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server. The new password is working on my home computer. I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.

Not receiving email from AOL

Hi - About a week ago I stopped receiving email from AOL on my i5s phone. Only thing I can think of is I changed my password on AOL, I tried changing it on my phone too, but I get the following message. "Cannot Get Mail The mail server "imap.aol.com" is not responding. Verify that you have entered the correct account info in Mail settins." I have tried deleting the account on my phone and adding it again, nothing. Have tried changing my password on AOL and on AOL mail account on the settings page, no luck. Any ideas? Help please.

How can I automatically import my emails from AOL?

Until I changed my AOL password last week (it got hacked) all of my email from AOL was automatically transferred to my Gmail account. My son set this up for me but he is overseas now in the military. How can I get Gmail to automatically "import" or harvest my AOL mail as it was doing until I had to change the AOL password?
Thanks!

Have you set up your iCloud email account (under Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars)?
If so, have you turned on "Mail" under Settings > iCloud?
Are you certain your Apple ID on your iPad is identical to the one used for your iCloud account elsewhere?

I can't access email from my iPhone 3gs since changing email password

Hi all,
iPhone 3s 16GB
iOS version: 6.1.3
ISP Bigpond Cable
I can't access my email from my iPhone 3GS.
This is an iPhone problem, not an ISP problem.
I know this because I can access my email from both my laptop and webmail.
This is occurring here at home via my WiFi network and also a few kilometres away via 3G.
This morning I had to change the password on my Bigpond Cable internet email account.
Whenever I try to access email from my phone I receive the following error:
"Cannot Get Mail"
"The user name or password for "**** *****" is incorrect."
There are two buttons, one captioned Settings the other OK.
Both the user name and password are correct. This happened perhaps 4 or 5 times in the 6+ years I was with Internode and has happened a couple of times in the 20 months that I've been on Bigpond Cable.
I have re-entered my email account and connection details multiple times to no avail.
I have tried deleting the account, then rebooting my phone and creating a new account, but that didn't work.
I tried deleting the account, turning the phone completely off, waiting one minute and then after turning it back on, creating a new account but that didn't work.
I know I am entering the correct settings because before I deleted the account the first time, I took a series of screen captures from the Settings App and I also have the settings from MS Outlook to refer to.
Its as though somewhere in the phone, the old email password is being stored and being used instead of the new one, but I don't know where that could be except in the Settings app, "Mail, Contacts, Calendars" and that is where I am entering the new password.
The only solutions to this problem I found by searching are those that I have already tried and haven't worked for me.
Reverting to the old password is not an option. My account was compromised by Malware, hence the password change and a complete scan of my laptop.
Any ideas?

The problem was resolved by erasing the entire contents of my phone and then restoring it, setting it up as a new phone.

The Google Search Box won't respond and I can't composing an email in AOL won't work. I've tried on both my laptop and desktop computers. I have Firefox 3.6.8 and am a Mac user. It's not my cache because this empties everytime I close out. I've never

When typing in a google search, nothing happens. I try hitting return or clicking on search and nothing happens. I can however search by going into Advanced Search and retyping my query. I also have to retry repeated now to get an active window when I want to compose an email in aol. The window will pop up and nothing is active. This has been happening for a couple weeks now. I also have found that many times the AOL toolbar won't work...buttons are inactive and I have to quit Firefox and reload several time to access any of Firefox or AOL toolbar buttons.

If you can't get AOL to talk you thru it, then it's time to stop using AOL.
You are paying extra for a useless service. You already pay (and HAVE TO PAY) to the internet company that gives you the internet modem and conneciton to the internet, and they are be giving you 1-5 free email addresses with that account. (call them if you never set them up).
There is no guarantee you don't have a problem with your mail setup on your computer, but this is the right time for you to set up your [email protected] accounts, download all your AOL mail including your address book (FROM AOL'S WEBISTE via Safari) to your hard drive, make sure you are using an external drive with Time Machine and doing daily if not hourly backups, and start sending emails to your friends and family and business from the new mail account(s).
Otherwise you can call someone who saves computers and AOL accounts for a living and pay them $25- $100 hour....

During the TBird installation I am asked to enter user/email/password but after repeated attempts only get error saying info incorrect.

After going through the Thunderbird setup on a Windows 8.1 computer, and after selecting IMAP instead of POP, I get to the point where it asks me to input name, email and password. However, when I do so, it invariably comes back and says my name and/or password are incorrect. Eventually, as I can go no farther in the setup process, I have to cancel out of setup. When I check for installed Thunderbird, Windows does not list it along with other programs in the add/delete window, I find no mention of Thunderbird, so I can't uninstall it. As I am attempting to use TBird with my gmail account, of course, the first time I tried this I got a snarky email from Google telling me that I was attempting to use an email client with lesser security, and giving me a link to go to if I wanted to continue with this less-secure strategy. I successfully set gmail to allow the installation of an email client, and again tried to install TBird, with the same result. I got another Google email acknowledging that I had reset my Google account to accept so-called less secure programs. Again, though, I got stymied at the same point and was again advised that the user name/email/password was in error.

I attempted to set up a Gmail account for my sister using Thunderbird to access her gmail account. I got the same result as the above message and could not get any further in the process than to be repeatedly told that the password or user name was incorrect, (which I knew they were not since that account has just recently been created). If I go directly to gmail, it will log on and allow her to view her messages easily, but attempting to use TBird it gives the same result every time. I take it that there is something going on with the authentication process in gmail, but it isn't clear to me what it means or how to deal with it in Tbird, so some clarification and elucidation would be really appreciated, she wants to use TBird since that is what she is used to and understands, and I would like to be able to insure that she can. My wife has a gmail account that is accessed through TBird and there is no problem with it and logging on to view the account, but my sisters new account is unaccessible with TBird.

My email password and my verizon account password are the same? Are you SERIOUS?

The other day I did something I never do, actually log into my verizon account. I hate the verizon interface, I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than use it, but every now and then I have to use it to handle a bill. So, of course the password that I remembered setting on it didn't work. So I jumped through the hoops to reset the password, conducted my business, and left the site, hopefully not to return for a year at least.
Lo and behold, the next time I tried to access my email (which I use Thunderbird for, and don't tell me it's not a supported client, it works fine, and no I'm not going to use Verizon's webmail interface), it won't accept my email password. Now, this password HAD always been distinct from my verizon account password. But...telling myself, "Oh no they didn't," I tried using the new password that I'd set for my online account. Surprise! It let me into my email!
Now, this morning, neither the new password nor my old email password are being accepted.
So, I have two questions, apart from the existential "why does Verizon feel the need to torture its customers like this":
1)Are they SERIOUSLY requiring you to have the SAME password for your email AND your My Verizon Account?
2)If, as I hope and pray, the answer to 1 is "hellz no", how can I change just my EMAIL password?
Anticipating a reply of, "No, it's just one password, because we've decided that's MORE secure, and your whole problem is that you're using Thunderbird, because ummmm somehow Thunderbird renders passwords into ancient Greek before it submits them and so it won't work, but of course some dull-normal client like Outlook WILL work, and don't ask me the details because I'm really not very technical, but apparently I'm technical enough to tell you that your client is no good"...

Yes, the passwords are the same now. Verizon made a big push a while back to give customers a single login. They merged everyone's accounts, not because it is more secure, but because they think customers will find it easier. No, there is no way to change just your email password.
And no, there is absolutely nothing wrong with using Thunderbird. Many of us have it configured for verizon.net addresses, and it works just fine.
Wish I had a better answer for you...

How do i stop my ipad from asking for a new email password

My work email is on my ipad. I changed my password at work and it is asking for the new password on my ipad. It won't take my new password and it won't let me out of the loop to even use my ipad for anything, including disconnecting my email. How do I by pass the email password question so I can use my ipad?

OK, thanks much. Checked andadjusted setting and now all works like before. And you introduced me to a nice security setting I did not know existed and one I can set up easily if i need to . Thanks again.
