Oh, I thought you needed the output that's in the .log file from 
executing that command.  Okay, I'll then attach that .log file to this 
email.  Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Please send to mutt-users@mutt.org email so everyone can help you.

Unless I'm not mistaken, the command Jude gave you produces a file. 
That's what is needed, not the contents pasted into an email message.

Please send again but send the email to mutt-users@mutt.org


Kind regards,
David

    Okay, here's what's in my .muttrc file right now with my username
    & password Xed out:

    set from = xxxx...@aol.com
    set realname = "xxx xxxx"

    #IMAP Settings
    ##
    # activate TLS if available on the server
    set ssl_starttls=yes
    # always use SSL when connecting to a server
    set ssl_force_tls=yes
    # Don't wait to enter mailbox manually
    unset imap_passive
    # Automatically poll subscribed mailboxes for new mail (new in 1.5.11)
    set imap_check_subscribed

    # My credentials
    set smtp_url = smtp://smtp.aol.com:465/
    set smtp_pass = xxxxxxxxxxxx
    set imap_user = xxxx...@aol.com"
    set imap_pass = xxxxxxxxxxxx

    # My mailboxes
    set folder = imaps://imap.aol.com:993 <http://imap.aol.com:993>
    set spoolfile = +INBOX


    # Where to put the stuff
    set header_cache = ~/.mutt/cache/headers
    set message_cachedir = ~/.mutt/cache/bodies
    set certificate_file = ~/.mutt/certificates

    # Etc
    set mail_check = 30
    set move = no
    set imap_keepalive = 900
    set sort = threads
    set editor = nano

    # GnuPG bootstrap
    # source ~/.mutt/gpg.rc

    Now, here's the output from that mutt.log file after running that
    command given to me by Jude DaShiell:

    If you ask me, it looks just like a bunch of gibbereish.

    What we need are the errors.

    Use the command that Jude posted, that will tell us exactly what
    is wrong.

    The muttrc file is not of much use, unless you want to give us
    your email password to try mutt and find out what the problem is.

    Best wishes,

    David

        I'm at work right now, so I won't be able to copy & paste
        what I have in my .muttrc file at this point.  Until I get
        off of work.  I'll do that then.

            I believe Storm Dragon's fleacollar supports AOL.

            https://git.2mb.codes/~lilmike/fleacollar
            script URL
            https://git.2mb.codes/~lilmike/fleacollar/blob/master/fleacollar.sh


            Use wget to download this.

            Then chmod fleacollar.sh to be executable and run it and
            give all answers, including the password and gpg
            questions, it won't make a gpg for your email itself, it
            just protects your passwords on your computer.

            wget

                Does anyone, by any chance, happen to have a sample
                .muttrc file that I
                could use for AOL email?  And no, I do not want a
                conversation or a
                lecture, just a sample .muttrc file that I could use
                for AOL email.
                Thank you very much!  😁
