I have an AOL account and I am trying to configure Window Mail were I can us
it for my mail. My normal internet access is through a broadband card. I

am trying to enter it as a IMAP with the incoming server as imap.aol.com &
the outgoing server as smtp.aol.com, with the port 587. Can anyone please
help????

Hi April, "keep getting booted off", does not give many clues for us to work
on.

Please copy and paste any error messages in your reply that WM gives.

AOL works only with it self. So either stay with AOL or uninstill it than
delete the icon.after that reboot you computer and start with the server you
really want and besure.like 99.99% since no one on earth can be 100%(only God
can be 100% sure)

AOL does provide IMAP email accounts... to anyone.
