Can you manually set it up by putting in the incoming and outgoing
gateways and such?

Guys,
This is honestly not a terribly big deal, as I practically
haven’t used this account in literally probably over a year, but
I know it’s still active, as I can sign in no problem from the
webmail interface with Safari.
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.
Chris.
