AOL email connectivity issue - Sends but does not receive

I have 2 AOL email accounts on my Droid X. Up until Thursday, I had no issue receiving emails to both addresses. Suddenly on the Thursday my default account kept indicating connectivity issues with the account. The other AOL account worked perfectly.

I can still send from default AOL account and they are received, but I am not able to receive any email into this account. I tried to forwarding these email addresses to my gmail account. But gmail is not receiving emails from either account.

Any suggestions?

I, too, suddenly had problems receiving AOL mail last week. I ended up competely deleting the account from my Droid X and then re-establishing it from scratch. I don't know if it makes a difference but this time I set it up manually using 143 as the incoming port. Royal pain in the butt.

I also find that when I foward or reply to a message from the phone's AOL Inbox it doesn't show up in the Sent folder. So there is no copy or record anywhere of what was just sent out or who the recipients were. Bad!

Time Warner took over AOL and allowed customers to retain their AOL accounts to minimie the headache of converting everyone...

Now to the ones having issues, have you tried contacting AOL and make sure they are not transferring or updating a server, because usually when they do this it can effect some accounts but not other just as you have discribed. They may require a new port entered or even pop, imap or smtp access information. Drop them a call and verify incoming and outgoing addresses.
