Can't setup verizon aol email on os x

Follow the directions from aol about choosing AOL from internet Accounts in System Preferences, but when I enter the information I get the error: "Unable to verify account name or password". Has anybody had any luck setting it up via Internet Accounts on OS X?

The only one of the three offered options that appears to work is selecting the Phone number.

None whatsoever. I can get AOL mail on the AOL website, and on iOS devices. Internet Accounts in System Preferences can't verify it.

Last I checked the Apple software did not setup VERIZON mail correctly if you Specified AOL I recommend still using Verizon setup, which usually works. Double check pop id is yourusereid@verizon.net and other settings match the settings at

I was able to do it a couple times (on my computer and a friends) but since I reinstall OSX, I have been unable to do it again. What I did was ... created a new mail account using a real AOL email address. I had one but if you don't just create a one. Once I did that, I simply went into the settings and changed everything to my verizon email address. Like I said, I have not been able to repeat what I did before because it won't let me change the username (gray out). It wasn't grayed out last time.
