I need to find out the account/ server settings.
You will need these then:
(Found them here: http://help.aol.com/help/microsites/microsite.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=217449)Setting up access to the AOL or AIM Mail servers is simple, and the settings are similar for most e-mail applications.
The basic information that you need to set up using IMAP and POP3 is as follows:
* Your e-mail address is screenname@aol.com or screenname@aim.com.
* Be sure to include the @aol.com or @aim.com suffix.
* The incoming mail (POP) server address is imap.aol.com and imap.aim.com for IMAP, and pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com for POP3.
* Check the box for leaving messages on the server.
* The outgoing mail (SMTP) server address is smtp.aol.com or smtp.aim.com, port: 587.
* Your user name is your AOL or AIM screen name.
* Your password is your AOL or AIM password.
Regarding your user name there were special arrangement migrating CompuServe e-mail accounts to the AOL system. I am not sure whether the arrangements here are identical for those outside Holland. I myself kept my compuserve.com e-mail address for one thing.
