In common with many other Mail providers, AOL now use App Specific Passwords to access IMAP or POP3 mailboxes. If you are having difficulties connecting with the mail server, or sending/receiving email, you will need to verify your AOL Mail password.
The Mail App on each of your devices, such as your iPad, requires a unique password to be generated from within the AOL account. This App Specific password intentionally differs from your AOL account password - and can only be used to access your AOL mail.
More information about AOL’s App Specific Passwords can be found here:
