Hi imarockabillyfan,
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Wondering what you have already tried, and why you can't add the account to Mail.
Maybe you got an error message ... that could suggest the reason, and the solution.

To whom it may concern,
When I enter my email address and password, i get a message stating “unable to verify address or password”. So the app never lets me complete setting up the email account. This only happens with my AOL accounts. Other email accounts set up normally.
Hi again, imarockabillyfan,
Thank you for your reply, and for sharing the error message.
Seems your issue may be one of security ... you may need to log-in to your e-mail account at AOL,
and give permission in the settings there, to allow Apple Mail to access the account.
AOL will likely want to verify with you, that it is you granting the access to Mail.

Oh and by the way... My account user ID and password are correct as I can go to the AOL page and log on with the same information with no problem... I don't understand....
