A new era has dawned in the e-mail world (besides PM 5, I mean ;-) AOL now has actual, real smtp/imap access, so you can handle your AOL mail using whatever client you like. Except maybe PowerMail. Well, it almost works.
I first tried it using Apple's Mail, and got that working. Then I set up a similar account in PM 5.0B18, and I can RECEIVE my AOL mail, but whenever I try to send, PM shows "Login as xxxx" where xxxx is my AOL name, in the status bar. It sits there for several minutes, then finally gets: Unexpected error on "smtp.aol.com:587" Class='NetC', what=1,when=6 err=268435556 Has anyone else got this working? This is important, as it will allow all us Emailer hold outs to FINALLY switch and get rid of Classic! Thanks, --dave FYI, the account settings I am using are: smtp.aol.com, use port 587, and use p/w authentication. imap.aol.com is the incoming mail server, Protocol IMAP4.
