Hello,
Is there a way i can possibly use my aol mail with my Mac's mail application?
How can i set it up from mail preferences?
thanks
 
Setting up access to the AOL® or AIM® Mail servers is simple, and the settings are similar for most e-mail applications.

The basic information that you need to setup using IMAP and POP3 is as follows:

* Your e-mail address is screenname@aol.com or screenname@aim.com.
* Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix.
* The incoming mail (POP) server address is: imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3.
* Check the box for Leaving messages on the server.
* The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is: smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587.
* Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name.
* Your password is your AOL® or AIM® password.
