AOL Mail sync with Windows 10

I received the same announcement & it affects Windows 10, Ipad IOS, and numerous others.  What a pain

Thanks to both of you Richard and Suejin.

It maybe that this only applies to UK where I live and where AOL is now part Verizon. I;ll take your advice and wait to see what happens and I will have a look at the AOL community as well to see what they have to say.

Thanks again.

Thanks, I do understand the problem and that is why I provided the two links.

I've had an e-mail from AOL saying that from 20 October they are no longer supporting third party access such as Windows 10 as they may not be secure and to sign in directly via the web or their app.

I'm disappointed with this action as it means I don't have access on the Windows platform which I find is great and simple to use, so is there any way I can still continue to access my e-mails using Windows 10 after October or will they now be blocked.

Hope you can persuade AOL to change their minds.

I have experienced the same issue that Bryan is talking about.  I can send and received AOL emails on my phone, but they are now blocked on my laptop in spite of numerous attempts at circumventing their restrictions.  Its really annoying.

I have AOL and  I haven't seen an e-mail with that information. I don't use any AOL apps I just check my mail when I have Microsoft Edge open.

I found these and you may want to look at them. They provide more information about 3rd party apps and new security messures.
