Anyone having trouble with AOL and Mail after their revamp of the mail system?

Yep, I'm having a problem since they decided to change everything. I'm on Panther so I have the older Safari and it won't work with that. It only works with Safari 2.0, but yet they claim OS X 10.3.7 or later. I have Firefox, but I like using Safari better. That's all besides the fact though because I set up my AOL mail in Apple Mail anyway. 😀

yes but I was refering to the application Mail not just the online AOL Mail browsing!

Thanks for the help though!

Has anyone had to change their settings in Mail for this alteration?

Thanks

I have seen occasional downtime of the IMAP server, but otherwise, it seems to be working properly for me.

Yea, I can't say that I've had any problems checking my AOL e-mail in Mail. I always have Mail running and there have been no problems connecting to the server and retrieving my AOL mail.

For me it keeps on saying that it cannot send it via the current server, So I press try again and it still doesnt work!

After pressing try again many a time it just decides to work!

Do you have send only trouble, or also receiving trouble? If you only have sending trouble, you are probably being blocked from their SMTP server, and you need to use the one your ISP provides.
