You can use a third-party email app to download a copy of your AOL Mail email or to send and receive emails, if you'd prefer a different interface. There are two different protocols you can choose when setting up a third-party email app: POP or IMAP.
POP downloads a copy of your emails from your account (mail.aol.com) to the app. This means that if you delete an email from your account after it's been downloaded, the downloaded copy remains in the app. Additionally, POP only downloads emails from the Inbox (not personalized folders), so to download all of your emails, you'd need to move email from existing folders to the Inbox.
IMAP, however, continually syncs the app and your account to keep the information in both places identical. This means that anything you do with messages or folders in your account at mail.aol.com will also occur in the app (and vice versa).
Below are the POP and IMAP server settings you'll need to use for AOL Mail and links to common email app setup instructions. If you need specific help configuring your app, contact its manufacturer.
