How do I use Apple Mail to read my aol mail?

When I click on mail, it askes me for the specifications for my aol account. I don't know all of them. Can anyone help me?

Aha! So, I misunderstood your situation slightly; now am I correct in thinking that you had all this old mail in a "Saved Mail" folder on AOL, and not just sitting in AOL's "Inbox" folder? If that's the case, then here's another suggestion you can try:
When you launch Mail, on the left-hand side of the Mail viewer, you've got Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Trash, .... do you have a grey globe with an "@" symbol in it, labeled as however you have named your AOL account in Preferences>Accounts>Description (in my case, I named mine "aim.com") with a little gray triangle to the left of it? If so, read on....
I just did a little experiment just now. When I clicked on that little gray triangle so it pointed downward, all my folders on the AOL/AIM imap server showed up. I selected one of those mailbox folders, and when I did, all the messages in there showed up in the message header viewer. I was then able to select all (⌘a) messages in one of those folders (in my case, "Sent" because I didn't have anything in my "Saved Mail" folder), and was able to drag&drop all of them into my Mail.app inbox. See if you can do that, and if that works for you. From there, I would think that you could create a child folder wherever you want, and move those messages into the newly created child folder.
Good luck!

  • How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book?

    How can I use apple mail (linked to gmail) and get it to only do autofill on the contacts that I have in apple address book? Everytime I write an email on the Apple mail app (as well as in Gmail) it recommends a bunch of emails that are not my contacts. I want it to just autofill for the contacts that I have in my address book. Is this possible? Thank you. I have an Imac Intel version and an Iphone 5 phone.

    Sign into the device with the Apple ID.
    Reading the User's Guide might also allow you to ask a more intelligent question and have a much better understanding of how the device works.

    That is awesome, works perfectly.
    I'll get it worked into my main script. Is this Action Manager code, and not just regular Javascript from the Scripting Dictionary? I can't tell the difference. I'll see whether or not it's actually faster than Applescript.
    Thanks. I know Scripting Listener records a bunch of stuff, but it's pretty amazing to me that playing back this line does the same thing that playing back the 1,011 lines Scripting Listener puts out.
    Thanks.

  • How do I get Apple to pay attention to IOS Mail Signature Issues?!!!!!

    IOS Signature.....
    OK, so I know this has been answered a number of times before and I have posted this at the request of senior advisors at Apple Customer Service who are also fed up with people complaining about the lack of basic functionality with IOS Signatures.
    So the issue for me is that, with IOS8 Apple introduced continuity. I can sit on my MacBook Air in the lounge, my phone on charge in another room, and genius, I can take a phone call right from my Mac. Perhaps the cynic in me thinks this was designed for the American market and those too bone idol to get of their fat A***'s and answer their phone (Hey every calorie counts after all). But what I continue to fail to get is why I can have a beautiful, Professional signature on my MacBook Air. I have a JPEG of my signature, my details, Facebook and linked in Logo's. It looks very good and often people ask me how I did that!!! But when I am out and i want to send an e-mail from my iPad Mini w Retina or iPhone 5s. Apple think that I don't need that professional signature and that basic text will do! Apple, it won't, its a basic function and you need to do something about it!!!
    This has been a common complaint and oversight from Apple since the original iPhone.
    I have to wait to get home to send a business e-mail from my Mac using the signature. I can cut an paste the signature from an e-mail, it works for 1 or 2 e-mails and then reverts to replacing the images with little grey boxes. I have tried all the workarounds, spend hours, probably days trying to do this and the same result overtime. Clearly Mail can send jpeg, gif, bmp etc.... just not as a signature through the settings menu. This must be a simple fix!!!
    I have come to the conclusion that:
    1/. Tim Cook and the executives at Apple do not use iPads for business use, or this would have irritated them and it would have been resolved. Surely while they are jetting around the world promoting the generally useless Apple Watch they would have noticed this problem?!
    2/. Or Tim Cook and his gang do not use iPads!!!!!!
    So Apple, please, Please, PLEASE fix some of these basics... PDF management in IOS, iCloud management on IOS and let us have more than simple text signatures in Mail in IOS. Its a basic, necessary business function!!!!!!!
    These little things have stopped me upgrading the iPad and iPhone and like others I know who were Apple loyalists and promoted the virtues of Apple products, we now consider other options, with basic functionality. Stop chasing the next major release and give us the basic functionality.
    Please if you know a way of doing this that works time and time again that doesn't mean opening an old e-mail and pasting every time I send an e-mail, let me know...

    apple does not read, log or to a certain extent, care about what's posted here. This is user to user tech support forum and apple's only presence is the moderators and the community specialists that answer unanswered posts.
    Use the feedback link. It's the only way to get your comments to apple in a manner that is read and logged.

  • How do I use Apple Backup with my new MacBook Pro?

    I've been using Apple's Backup app from the old days of Mobile Me (remember when we had to pay to use Apple's cloud?). I've just bought a MacBook Pro and I transferred everything from my old iMac (early 2008 running Mavericks). Everything works fine, but my copy of Backup has reverted to demo mode, restricting me to just 100 MB per backup. It tells me that in 60 days, I will lose even that.
    How do I transfer over my permissions to use this app?
    Thanks!

    If you have everything on your new machine, set up an iCloud account. System preferences/iCloud.

    You may want to buy an external drive (they are cheap these days) and set up Time Machine on it.

  • How can I use Apple TV as second display, not mirror.

    I was told (and showed) by an apple "genius" that i could use apple tv with my own hd monitor as a second monitor to use in final cut and other media programs. so i got one, but the desplay setting will only let me use the mirror settings. anyone now how this can be done?

    That feature is coming with OSX 10.9 (Mavericks). In the meantime you will have to use a 3rd party solution like Airparrot.

  • How do I use Internet accounts to add accounts to mail in mavericks

    I used migration Assistant to Migrate to a new Imac(late 2013), The new machine was 10.8.4 so the very first thing I did was add an account so I could update. I suspect this was the root cause of my problem because then when I migrated the account I had to rename it
    Everything worked fine except for mail. Note under library/mail I still had a 45Gb folder.
    My internet accounts had a list of all the mail accounts I used to have but mail itself was empty. All the accounts are imap so I have not lost mail.
    Trying things mentioned on the forum I tried deleting the accounts under internet accounts and re-adding, and I tried importing from the mail folder. Importing sort of worked but created a big mess of mail under a import folder.
    Where I am right now. I deleted everything including my library/mail folder.
    I go to mail. I do add acount, I add a icloud account, I select paul...me.com It adds the account.
    I then can go to accounts and see my me.com address with mail ticked.
    And nothing. Mail just sits their blank.
    Now I can trick it it into adding one account, when everything is blank, instead of giving me the new system preferences internet accounts it gives me the old accounts from mail 10.8, I can then add 1 account under their and it will work., As soon as it has one account it then goes back to giving me the system preference internet accounts which just lets me add acounts but does not work with mail.

    Yes it all works under a new user. Thank you.
    At this point the simplest solution is probably to put everything else from the old user into the new one, hopefully without breaking anything else.

  • How do I use Apple Hardware Test on a Mid 2010 macbook pro?

    This MacBook is now running Mavericks 10.9.1
    This makes it so I can't update the firmware to use Apple Hardware Test within OS X internet recovery as discussed in this article:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4904
    Holding down "D" at boot does nothing
    Holding down Option + D gives me Apple Hardware Test that can't be run because the firmware isn't updated and can't be updated because the update can only be applied to systems running Mac OS X 10.7.2

    You need the origional grey disk 2 that came with the mac when new.  It contains the AHT and applications.  You can call Apple and order the disks.
