I have Incredimail under one login, but I use Windows Mail under another.
For some odd reason, everything in Windows Mail works just fine with the
exception of OUTGOING email ONLY. I hope you get some help with this too
because I too am interested in finding a resolution.

Hi Katie

I will say this first I know nothing about IMAP, only what I have learned
from Windows help

Have you got a Firewall, this could be blocking your access to the Aol's
server, just check that the server is on your approved list.

I was looking at Windows help, and the only thing it said about IMAP, was
that you had to setup the receiving folder in a specific location dependent
on whether Aol, was using a Cyrus or a UNIX server. It didn't say anything
about the smtp needing anything special.


Yours Chris

Check your outgoing port number with your ISP. It should not be 25

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

Peter is correct. The outgoing mail server for AOL is on port 587.

I made a mistake setting up email in windows vista. How do I fix it?

 

[Gary VanderMolen]

It would help if you told us what type of mistake (wrong mail server name,
mistyped email address, etc.). Anyway, go to Tools > Accounts >
select the account > Properties. That will get you to the general area.
