how to set up aol email

[tbonenga]

I can't seem to figure out how to add my AOL email accounts to my phone. I know this is probably something real simple I'm just over looking. This is what I've tried.

settings
email+accounts
add an account
other account ( since aol isn't listed )

I can't get it to work. If somebody good please help I'd appreciate it.

THANKS

Make sure you are putting the full email address.

I.E.

imbobdole@aol.com, not just imbobdole

And if it asks/verify the aol servers are
imap: imap.aol.com
smtp: smtp.aol.com

THANKS.....I wasn't putting the imap or smtp in there.

Is there a reason the option for true PUSH isn't available even though AOL is capable for it?

Meaning "As Items Arrive" like Google accts.... webOS allowed PUSH Aol....

For my AOL account, all I have ever done is enter my full email address and password. WP should take care of the rest.

So you don't adjust the Sync settings?

This worked !!! When its added there's additional numbers behind the ".com" for "imap: imap.aol.com" and "smtp: smtp.aol.com" just delete it and it will work like a charm. I shared this info with one of my customers . Thanks !
