Sync AOL Mail on a Third-Party App By Using POP or IMAP

A third-party email application can be used to download any AOL email. It can also be used for sending and receiving emails. This is a great tool for people who prefer a different interface. You can choose two kinds of protocols while setting up any third-party app for the purpose of AOL email. They are POP and IMAP.

POP downloads an email copy for the AOL mail account to the application. Therefore, even if one deletes any email from their email account after downloading it. Moreover, POP just downloads the emails which are in the inbox, but not the ones in the personalized folders. Therefore, in order to download all the emails, one has to move the emails from the personalized folders to the inbox.

IMAP, on the other hand, continuously synchronizes the application and the mail account so as to keep the data in both the places same. Therefore, any changes made with the folders or messages in the mail account will also be shown in the app.

Find below the POP and IMAP server settings which you will require to synchronize AOL mail to a third-party email app:

AOL EMAIL IMAP AND POP SETTINGS
A number of the email software and apps have a menu for account settings. In the account settings menu, you will be required to update the POP3 or IMAP settings. While filling in the account details, be careful that you are using your full AOL email address, including @aol.com. Also make sure that you have enabled the SSL subscription for both incoming and outgoing email.
