aol security settings in mail

How do I check and/or change the security settings in Mail for my AOL account? I received a message from AOL stating, "that your current third party email application (Mail) is not using the latest, secure mail connection settings." I checked and it's not SPAM.

These are the settings I need to have, but I can't see how to check and modify them. I'm pretty sure the servers are correct but I can't see anything about SSL.

Incoming mail server (IMAP): imap.aol.com
Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.aol.com


Make sure SSL encryption is enabled for the incoming and outgoing mail server.
IMAP - 993 - SSL


SMTP - 465 - SSL
SMTP - 587 - SSL / TLS


Additionally I don't know if they're referring to my laptop or my iPhone or both.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10.3.3
