My server for sending emails is and for receiving emails is. (3) I have Thunderbird and another client, and both are working just fine at the moment. (2) AOL, regardless of the above and depending on how one’s email account has been set up, uses an incoming server called either “” or “” (that now is a POP3 server, actually) and an outgoing server called “”. That who knows if it actually cares about the email business, or if it is one of those outfits that buy companies that are going concerns to sell them for parts. (1) “Verizon” is now AOL, but AOL, who used to be part of Verizon - and after it was so bought, Verizon gave it the job of taking care of the Verizon emails - is now no longer part of Verizon, as Verizon sold it to some finance company. Maybe this could be of help, probably not: If I go to “preferences: passwords” the Verizon account is missing! If i attempt to collect new mail the error screen comes up and asks for current password, which is then refused.

One thing I just noticed: If I go to “Account settings” there is an entry for the account. Why should it work on the AOL email website and not not in the email clients?
