/ Dave Taylor / Windows PC Tips and Help / 37 Comments Dave, I use America Online (AOL) for reasons that are too tedious to explain, but I only just recently learned that instead of using their brain-dead mail program, I could be using Microsoft Outlook Express instead! How do I use MS Outlook Express to read AOL mail and send mail through my AOL account? According to the helpful online documentation at the AOL help site, you can access AOL mail through their Open Mail Access system. There’s detailed information on how to work with Outlook 2000, Outlook Express, IncediMail, Microsoft Entourage, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/310876 Outlook 2002, and even Eudora. In terms of Microsoft Outlook Express, here’s what I found out. This document is entitled How do I use Microsoft Outlook Express 6 to read and send AOL e-mail: There are two steps to setting up Outlook® Express to read and send AOL e-mail.

In the E-mail address field, enter your full e-mail address, e.g., GabbyGrace@aol.com. Click Next. On the E-mail Server Names screen, select IMAP from the drop-down menu. In the Incoming mail server field, enter: imap.aol.com. In the Outgoing mail server field, enter: smtp.aol.com. Click Next. On the Internet Mail Logon screen, enter your AOL screen name in the Account name field. Enter the password for your AOL account in the Password field.
