Q: my aol password is still required even when i apply it?

You may have more than one entry in Keychain Access.

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over.

Open Keychain Access in Utilities, enter the part after the @ sign in the search bar, hit enter, you should have one for incoming & one for smtp.

First Aid should be in Keychain Access in Utilities, is it not?

Ae you logged with the same Apple ID as is used in Keychain?
Also is this an administrator account on the Mac?

What version of OSX are you running?

Well, in Keychain access, try entering aol in the search bar.

They removed First Aid in 10.11.2...
