connection to AOL via SeaMonkey. Can someone point me or give me
simple directions for how to access my AOL messages on SeaMonkey?
Would it be easier for me to abandon SeaMonkey and and move to have
my AOL email delivered to Thunderbird? If so, I will need simple-to-
follow instructions as to how to make that happen.
My operating system is Windows 10 and my SeaMonkey version is version
2.53.1
Please help me with simple-to-follow instructions.

You have a usern...@aol.com email account or are trying to use your
usern...@verizon.net email address with AOL mail?
I can agree that I have an email address at AOL and it is
usern...@verison.net. I agreed/selected some two years ago to retain my
original Verizon email address over a new AOL email address. I made
this selection because I thought it would save me a lot of time
informing people about a new email address. Also, I was uneasy about my
technical skill that I thought would be needed to change "things" in my
computer to make a new address work. I'm not sure, in light of my
situation today, that I made a wise choice to continue to use my Verizon
address. Bottom line..I have never had a usern...@aol.com email address.
That won't work.
I'm not sure I understand what won't work. I continue to use my
original usern...@verizon.net address when I send/retrieve my email from
AOL...and it continues to work in the AOL's mail system.
What won't work is trying to use the Verizon address with an
imap.aol.com or pop.aol.com server name in your configuration.
It should be.
Server Name: pop.verizon.net.
Port: 995
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal password
The outgoing SMTP server settings are:
Server Name: smtp.verizon.net
Port:465
Connection Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication Method: Normal password
That's what my settings are.
You probably have to resolve that Known Issue before you can create an
email account.
