AOL Email seems to give a lot of their customers grief, at least on the Droid X. My question is, do you have the correct settings?

Here is what they should be.

 

Incoming Server     imap.aol.com

Incoming Port         143

Use secure server no

Verify certification   yes

 

Outgoing Server    smtp.aol.com

Outgoing Port        587

Use secure server yes

Verify certification yes

 

To get to your email account, tap on the apps "my account". Next tap on the AOL account. Here you will see the setup for both incoming and outgoing servers.

For "notification" tap on your email icon-open the menu-tap on notification and make sure that it is checked off. If not, you have to give it the little green checkmark.

Personally, I prefer the "Messaging" icon over the Email icon. The messaging icon gives you all your non-gmail email information. The email icon gives you only the default one and you have to have an icon for each Email server. I only have two, plus Gmail, but if you have several, as some people do, it can get confusing.
