Help Getting AOL mail through my mail App

I was wondering if there was anyway that i can get my Aol mail to go through the mail app on my computer
?

Hi Big_papa!
These are the settings, for configuring Apple Mail with AOL mail.
-Account Type: IMAP
-Incoming Mail Server: imap.aol.com
-Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.aol.com:Your AOL Screenname Here
-Server Port: 587
You can also use the utility AOL® Service Assistant, which can be downloaded from this website AOL Macintosh Downloads.
"The AOL Service Assistant enables you to set up the following Apple applications to work with the AOL service:
• Mail - The AOL Service Assistant makes it easy to configure Mac OS X Mail to send and receive AOL mail. If you've used the existing AOL for Mac OS X product, you can also import your incoming and outgoing messages from your Personal Filing Cabinet into Mail.
• iChat - You can now easily set up iChat to work with your Screen Name.
• Address Book - Using the AOL Service Assistant, you can now easily import your AOL Address Book contacts into your Mac OS X Address Book without bringing in duplicate entries.
• Safari - AOL Service Assistant enables you to import your Favorite Places into a folder in the Safari Bookmarks Bar."

Masking my pop mail through iCloud mail

I use pop mail from godaddy. So mails across my apple device is not synced. Is there a way to route my mails through iCloud mails so that all incoming mails come to my iCloud mailbox and all receivers of my outgoing mail sees my actual mail I'd even though oak sending it through my iCloud mail. Ian trying to find out an alternative to the expensive imap mail option from godaddy.

Who is the POP mail provider? When you removed the account, did you verify that you entered the username and password in all of the locations, even where it said optional? When you see the error, is this for receiving mail, sending mail, or both?

Urgent!!!! Problem in sending mail through yahoo mail server

I have a yahoo account and I want to send email through yahoo mail server

Suddenly Cannot send e-mail through g-mail account

I have had no problems with sending/receiving mail until suddenly 4 days ago - can receive, but cannot send e-mail through a g-mail account. Do not know how to rectify, nor whom to reach out to...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having issues sending mail through mac mail on my imac .Have 4 accounts

I am having issues sending emails through mac mail. Have 4 accounts and they are all having same issues
Can receive mail ok
have tired rebuilding the mail box but no improvment.
i need to shut down system and restart to be able to send mail.

I tried something similar by adding a new mail account doing the apple id etc but it worked in that it would look for mail but no mail would come even though mail still goes to my phone I was loath to delete my original account just in case the new one did not work as well. So I guess I am a little stuck now.. I hope you can help me to sort it out.
Thanks

Can no longer send mail through Apple Mail

Starting yesterday morning, I can no longer send mail via Apple Mail. I can receive it just fine, but when I try to send, it struggles for a minute, then leaves the message in my Outbox. When I open Mail's "Connection Doctor," it says "Could not connect to this SMTP server"; it says this for all three SMTP servers I routinely use, including smtp.mac.com.
No other computer in my house has this problem. In fact, if I switch to a different account on my Mac and use Apple Mail with these same smtp servers, it works fine.
Needless to say, this is completely mystifying to me. Does anyone have any idea what's happening, or how to correct the problem?
Thanks.

Do my eyes deceive me? Am I dreaming? Could it really be true? Looks like Apple (finally) fixed this issue! Simply update your Mac to 10.5.5. It might reboot several times. That is normal. When it finally reaches the desktop open your Mail app and try sending. It should now work for you. I couldn't be any happier, after over a year without Mail it's finally working again! This is the update that everyone's been waiting for

Sending mail through "local" mail server?

I've set up fetchmail and procmail to download (and delete) mail from my mail host to a ~/Maildir on a server in my home which I then access through dovecot IMAP.
I want to be able to send mail "through" my server too, instead of going straight to my host's smtp. Maybe there isn't any good reason to do this? I want my Sent mail to be stored on my local server. And if set up more than one mail account, it would have to use the right smtp depending on the email address.
Anyone know how they would go about it? I found a handful of dovecot/fetchmail articles, but none that mention sending mail really. There's an oldish looking wiki article on exim, but I feel like I shouldn't need to use system wide conf for this.

Dovecot and fetchmail only handle the mail coming to you (ie, IMAP/POP3). You need SMTP to send email.
I highly recommend Postfix, and set it up to use your ISP's mail server as relay_host

My Mac Pro stopped getting new emails through the mail app

My Mac pro does not get new E-mail from yahoo, I'm using the Stamp app at the bottom of screen. I can access my E-mail if I go directly through yahoo. Can anyone help.

1. This is the MacBook Pro hardware forums.
2. Post in the Mail & AddressBook forum of the OS you are running (which you don't mention).
3. So for Lion post here: https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_os/mac_os_x_v10.7_lion#/?tagSet=1386

I migrated my mobileme to the cloud without OSX Snow Leopard. I then installed the updated software and still cannot access my mail through the mail on my dock. do i need to buy another app?

Can you help me figure this out. At the apple store they said install snow leopard then buy some app to get your mail to work on your macbook. the one guy said it'll prompt me to it, but i can't figure it out

I'm sorry. I must not have been too clear. I got Lion installed and I can't get into my mail without logging into iCloud. I used to be able to just click on the mail/stamp icon on my dock. And I kind of remember the guy at apple saying I had to buy something else in the app store after I successfully installed lion (which I just accomplished) Thanks for your help!

Why can't I send mail through my mail app

Can't send mail from either gmail or yahoo. can receive mail on both, however

You need to make sure the Out Going Mail Server information is correct in Mail>Preferences>Accounts. Contact your ISP for that info.

Reading Mail through Java Mail using IMAP

I searched this clas in the all the jar in the java mail api.Appreciate your earlier help

I assume you're not actually trying to use NTLM authentication.
A bug in JavaMail 1.4.3 can cause failures related to NTLM in some cases, although I don't think
it should show up as the failure you're seeing. To work around, set the session property
"mail.imap.auth.ntlm.disable" to "true".
If that doesn't solve your problem, make sure you don't have more than one set of JavaMail
classes in your CLASSPATH.

I need help getting AOL to connect on internet w/new Powerbook G4 please!!

I just purchased a Powerbook G4. I can connect to the internet @ school through ethernet & wireless yet @ home cannot log on to AOL! I even purchased a belking wireless router. It recognizes and accepts the network through network diagnostics but when i open Safari i get a blank screen!When tring to connect to AOL, it does not dial. I know its configuration. This is my last hope! Ive spoken to AOL & Time Warner to no avail.4 hours wasted and still not internet access. I even hooked up the cable directly to laptop and get same resilts.... PLEASE HELP. Im feeling as if I should have purchased a DELL instead....
Jeff

Hi,
I just purchases a pwerbook G4 too, and can't connect to AOL either, I have also spent 4 hours talking AOL time warner as well as my router company and MAC specialist and no one can help. Have you been able to connect? My last hope is that the last MAC specialist i spoke to said that the AOL software may not be compatible with the latest version of MAC OSX. I downloaded the AOL 10.3.7 version because they said that was the newest one. We may just have to wait until AOL has a newer version. Please let me know if you were able to use AOL, I know that this post is about a month old.
Thanks,
V

Sending Mail through POP Mail

Hello, I am using POP Mail at home DSL with both Ethernet and Airport without problem in sending and receiving mail. However, when I took my iBook on a trip, and connected it to someone's DSL, either with Ethernet or Airport, I could only receive mail automatically, but could not send mail out unless I used my ISP website to send the mail. However, a few days ago, I pluged my iBook up to a hotel's ADSL, I could both receive and send POP Mail. Why is that?
Thanks.
Robert

Hello Robert.
It all depends on the policy of whoever is providing you with Internet access at each location. Note that when you’re on a trip and connect through someone’s else network, the ISP at that location is usually not the same as the ISP when you’re at home.
Many ISPs block port 25 for all traffic outside their own network in an attempt to fight spam. Something that usually works if you’re trying to use an outgoing (SMTP) server different from the one provided by whoever is the ISP at a particular location is changing the outgoing server port to 587 instead of 25 in Preferences > Accounts > Account Information > Outgoing Mail Server > Server Settings, but the outgoing server in question must listen to that port for this change to work.
Moreover, some ISPs block all ports for outgoing mail, not just port 25, making it impossible to send using an SMTP server not owned by them.
