The Mail Settings Lookup was not able to get AOL to work. I have gone to the AOL website to see if they could help, but they apparently will not give support unless you pay for it. This is ridiculous. I copied the settings for the AOL mail account from my iPad, which is working (I have the AOL app on it), and tried to plug those into the Mac Mail preferences, but it still doesn't work. I have not synched my iPhone Xs to the new iMac yet, because I am afraid it might try to synch by deleting my email from my phone instead of synching the email from the phone to the iMac. I'm totally afraid of screwing up my devices that are working to try to make this work. I used to have the AOL account showing with the offline lightning bolt showing on the iMac Mail window, but with what I was doing to try to make it work, the AOL account now is not showing in the Mail window, although it still is listed as an account in my preferences, along with an iCloud account that I don't want, but it seems to keep insisting I use iCloud. I have an external backup drive that I use as a Time Machine and don't want to have anything to do with iCloud.
Is there any solution out there for getting the AOL settings to work? The one thing I noticed on the AOL site is it said something about not being able to use IMAP and had to use POP. I tried to use these settings, but still no luck. It's really frustrating. Help!
