Thank you for helping me with fixing a part of my world I know very
little about...computers.
I made the changes you recommended and I am not able to access my AOL
mail from SeaMonkey. I attempted to download my email messages from AOL
after the changes were made and this is the error message I received:
Error with account [email protected]
Request failed Mailbox unavailable. Please verify that your email
address is correct in your account settings and try again.
I have two accounts in SeaMonkey...one account is for my newsgroups and
browsing the internet. The second (titled AOL) account is used for
downloading email messages from AOL to SeaMonkey. I believe a select
look at the two accounts tells me that something is wrong between the
two accounts. Thus, I am sending select account settings for both
accounts for your review.

I hope you can follow the above. Thanks again for helping me with my
seemingly endless computer problems.

I have attempted to replace my Verizon email account with an AOL email
account on SeaMonkey without success. At the moment, I can only access
web pages using SeaMonkey...my access to this support group is
accessible only thru Thunderbird. I have tried every combination of
settings that I have read about and nothing makes a 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.
