Fix for verizon.net email with AOL on Apple MAIL
How I got my email @Verizon.net on AOL to work with Apple Mail:
- Open Browser
- Address Bar “aol.com"
- Login
- Select mail/envelop icon
- top right select “Options”
- select “Account Info”
- on left select “Account security”
- On first account (if you are other aol email addresses see IV.*) get pass code by adding Phone Number under Two-step verification TO GET A PASS CODE TXT (should be some letters).
- At step II. c) use pass code instead of your Password.
- Open Systems Preferences on iMac
- Select “Internet Accounts”
- Select——“Add Other Account…” [not “Aol.”] at the bottom of list to the right
- select the “@ Mail account”
- fill-in your Email Address: __________@verizon.net
- fill-in (your aol) Password:
- select “Sign in”
- Open Apple Mail — the account should be there and online.
- Sign out of AOL.com from your browser
- * For other AOL mail addresses repeat all the steps above except do not get extra pass code nor enter it instead of regular passcode.
I hope this works well for you.
