Creste an “app specific password,” generated by AOL, just for the Mail program.

AOL provides directions. After you create the app-specific password, write it down for safekeeping. Better yet, copy it so you can paste it without making a typo.


Once you’ve received your app specific password from AOL, return to Mail > Preferences > Accounts and input the new password into your account.
