HT5361 All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password

Hi,
All of a sudden my AOL email account is rejecting my password, its been working ok for over a year. I have deleted the account and re activated it again with success until restarting and the same error message appears again and again. This is happening on two AOL accounts. IOS version 10.9.5 Mountain Lion
Many thanks

Try going to Applications/Utilities/Keychain Access and deleting the password there. While there, run Keychain First Aid.

AOL email address refusing the server password

Hi all,
Two days ago the AOL servers started to reject my password on all my MAC hardware ,IMac ,Macbook Air and Iphone 4. This is also happening to my wifes Aol email account on her systems. I can access the email account through Safari OK so it is not a problem with our passwords being corrupt.
Any ideas. Not too much a problem for me but my wife uses her AOL account for business and it is causing her some agro and I am getting the blunt end .
Any advise accepted.

Hello:
No help to you, but my AOL mail works fine here in Apple's mail application.
I am sure you know that AOL's tech support is spotty at best.
The only thing I can think of is to trash the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) and restart. I have had occasional password issues in the past with AOL, but they usually disappeared on their own - I assumed that AOL was the culprit.

Why, all of a sudden, are the emails I send, showing they are coming from my husbands email.

Why, all of a sudden, are the emails I send from my ipad, showing my husbands email on them as the sender?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why am I all of a sudden getting double emails

why am i all of a sudden getting double emails? and how can I get rid of them

Some ISPs send a copy of all emails sent to the sender for some reason or is your problem different to this.

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID. This is on an iPAD. It is not showing in Accounts. However, I cannot delete the mailbox,. Please advise

I need to remove an AOL email account that is not attached to my Apple ID.
I am receiving email and I cannot delete the mailbox. Please advise.
the account is not viewable in settings.

I am assuming that this mail is coming into the Mail App, not another third party app, correct?
Is the AOL account showing up as its own mailbox in the mail app? (e.g. I see "All inboxes", "iCloud", and a third mailbox that is my second email address.)
Every "mailbox" except the "all inboxes" are going to be in the settings under mail, Contacts and calendars.
If the mail is coming into a mailbox that isnt the AOL mailbox, then it sounds like you have your AOL mail being forwarded to another email adress.

"Not connected" error on Z30 with a hacked AOL email account

My AOL email account was hacked a few days ago. Since this happened I get bumped offline with “Not connected” when I’m signed into my account on my Z30. When I open the account details the message says “An unexpected problem occurred with <DESCRIPTION>-<USERNAME> Some features may not be working correctly”
The account works once to synchronise email when I delete and re-install it on the Blackberry then intermittently displays the above error messages. However, even when there are no error messages the emails do not sync.
I don’t have this problem on my other AOL accounts or on any other non-AOL accounts on my Blackberry. I have uninstalled then reinstalled all accounts on the Blackberry, compared configs but the problem with this account remains.
I’ve had no feedback from AOL yet but I think that changes may have been made to my email that I must update in my Z30 config?
Any ideas what I need to do would be much appreciated!
Thanks for your help, Chris

Syncing aol email accounts with mail?

I'm new to Mac, and I love my macbook but I can't figure out how to set up my aol email accounts using imail. Is that possible? I have two aol email accounts and I've been going on aol.com to check my messages but lately it hasn't been loading so I don't know what to do!
How can I sync my aol email accounts with imail? Is aol considered IMAP?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Yes, AOL accounts must be set up as IMAP in Mail, but AOL has a lot of idiosyncrasies and some really nasty “features” that normal IMAP accounts don’t have and that you should be aware of.
To more easily set up your AOL account in Mail, you may use AOL Service Assistant, which also provides assistance for using other AOL services in Mac OS X.
Instructions for setting up an AOL account in standard mail clients such as Mail should be available somewhere on AOL’s website, and can also be found here:
http://members.aol.com/adamkb/aol/mailfaq/imap/applemail.html
These instructions are for Mail 1.3, and are somewhat outdated, but they can be used for Mail 2.x as well noting that the Special Mailboxes preference pane is called Mailbox Behaviors in Mail 2.x, and I believe you can now enable SSL for both the incoming (Preferences > Accounts > Advanced) and the outgoing mail server if you wish.
Instead of the settings shown in the article for Trash, you may want to turn ON Move deleted messages to the Trash, but in that case you should turn OFF Store deleted messages on the server.
AOL doesn’t let IMAP clients such as Mail to create or manage mailboxes at the root level of the account directory, only as subfolders of Saved — that’s why you must turn OFF Store messages on the server for all the mailboxes in Preferences > Accounts > Mailbox Behaviors, so that they are stored locally instead.
You may also want to read the more general guide the above article is part of (which is also somewhat outdated, but still useful to understand how AOL’s IMAP access works):
Accessing the AOL Mail System using IMAP - An Unofficial Guide
Note in particular that AOL automatically purges your mail from Inbox after some time. There is nothing you can do about it other than moving/copying your messages somewhere else to avoid losing them. You can create custom local “On My Mac” mailboxes in Mail, for example, and move/copy your mail there manually or set up rules to do it automatically.

TS2602 So all of a sudden iWeb is asking me to "Enter the password for "ftp@mywebsite.co.uk" ...

So all of a sudden iWeb is asking me to "Enter the password for "[email protected]" when I try to publish changes I've made.
I have no idea what this is? It was about 5years ago I made the website and set it up.
Can anyone help or suggest where I can find this password or reset it...?
Much appreciated.
Cheers.

You're being asked for the password for your online hosting account. Where are you hosting your website? Contact customer support for the hosting service you're using to get the password and user ID to use.

Unable to open attachments in my aol email account, i get a run time error. I am able to open them in ie. Also unable to open up a downloaded doc in word.

Since updating to firefox 15. whatever and now 16.0.1, i have been unable to open up any email attachments in my aol email account. I am able to view them via internet explorer. Initially the attachment will open (i can see it) but then a message of "run time error" comes up and when I close that window, the document goes blank. Also, today I clicked on a link via an aol news story and the same thing happened. It went to my firefox downloads, I was able to see part of the document and then that window with "run time error" message in it popped up. Help!!!!

This is a tip I got from ehow.com:
"While less common in Firefox, runtime errors can still occur on that browser. To prevent it from happening again, merely uninstall and reinstall Firefox on your computer."

When I open my free aol email account, I keep getting redirected to a new open tab ad for Verizon Fios. Is there a way to block this in Firefox?

I tried SuperAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes but they didn't solve the problem. AOL email is the only place I'm having this problem and it's constantly happening while I have that email open. It will open up the same new tab time after time. Screen shot jpg will not upload but it shows 3 tabs for "FiOS Custom TV" with the following address - http://campaign.verizon.com/customizetv/?CMP=BAC-CON_2015-Q2_MM-ACQ-MZ2ACQQuizP3a_0576
Help?

I access my aol email through www.aol.com. When I got to my emails, another tab was automatically opening by itself and I was redirected to that newly opened tab with the page that had the Verizon Fios promotion/ad. This happened automatically and repetitively while I was trying to check my emails. (Note the multiple Verizon tabs in the screenshot attached to this inquiry)
This happened over the last 2 days while in my free aol email account. I did notice a Verizon ad at the top of my email inbox while this was happening. I never did click on or otherwise access the Verizon ad but was constantly redirected to the new page/tab while viewing my emails. I went to my aol email just now to see if this was still occurring; there is a different ad in place of the Verizon ad and I am no longer being automatically redirected to another tab/page. Don't know why it was happening when the Verizon ad was there but it's not happening now since the Verizon ad has been replaced with another ad from a different company.
Any thoughts on this?
thank you

Multiple aol email accounts

On my Ipad i have two aol email accounts.
One sends and receives ok, the other only receives and gets errors when sending?
Can you only send from one?
If not how can i correct? Thanks

I guess I'll just have to get used to these niggles. Nothing in the world is perfect...

Adding aol email account

I just purchased an 8600 office jet pro and downloaded the e print app on my iPad and iPhone so I can print wireless from both devices. I am having trouble adding my aol email account. I tried both pop and IMAP but neither work. I am lost. Can anyone walk me through?

Check the outgoing mail server setting. Make sure that your username and password are in there.
Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account>Account>Outgoing mail server - tap the server name next to SMTP and check in the primary server and make sure your username and password are entered and correct - even if it says that the password is optional.

Maybe ask someone in the Apple iPad forum. This is the Snow Leopard forum.
