Suddenly IMAP for AOL Mail not working

All of a sudden, this morning, the mail icon I generally use for my AOL mail has stopped working. It will not download any new email. It says to check settings. I think I’ve done everything including restart the app. What do you do?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

This process is valid for all mails, AOL, Google, Yahoo, Outlook, Hotmail, Exchange etc etc


  1. Keep your email id and password handy
  2. Use this link to find out your Incoming and Outgoing server settings by entering your email address

https://support.apple.com/mail-settings-lookup

If it is not available in the link above contact your email client
