Anyway, I have a really really really! old AOL account which I’m trying to set up in Mail on my Mac running Yosemite 10.10.4. I am able to select AOL as the account type, and then put in my screen n...@aol.com <mailto:n...@aol.com> and the password. The issue is, as soon as I hit the setup button with VO+Space, it dims itself for a few seconds, then becomes available once again, but it won’t step me through to the next step of the account setup process. I checked to see if perhaps it added the account anyway in the accounts list table, but it didn’t. So, I guess ultimately, two questions… Firstly and foremost, has Apple broken the ability to set up an AOL e-mail account through the auto-setup procedure in Mail with Yosemite? If not, then my next, and final question would be, has anyone here on the list gotten it recently within Yosemite 10.10.4 to work correctly? I understand that if you already had your account setup say from Mountain Lion, or Mavericks, or whatever, then it probably still works, as the account was setup previously before upgrading, but I’m saying more, has anyone specifically natively within Yosemite itself setup an AOL account which wasn’t previously configured? Again, I’ve marked this e-mail as low priority, as truefully, I’m really not terribly concerned. Yeah, it would be cool to get this account working, but if I can’t, it’s not the end of the world. I’ve not used it in over nearly a year or so, so it’s not like I’m really missing much by not having access to it. This does have me a little bit intriegued though.
