AOL's October 20th Email Security Requirement for MAC or IOS Mail Users

If you delete an AOL email account from your MAC or IOS Mail app, will you lose access to the mail folders associated with the deleted AOL mail account in Mail? Further, If you then add back the deleted account, will access to those folders be restored?

It depends on what type of account it is. POP will not be restored. IMAP stores the messages on the server, so they will be restored.
