Setup Guide: AOL

To configure AOL Mail with Attachment Bot, follow these steps to set up IMAP access and generate an app-specific password if necessary.

Enable IMAP Access in AOL Mail

AOL Mail IMAP access is typically enabled by default, but you can verify the settings:

  1. Sign in to your AOL Mail account.
  2. Go to 'Options' and then 'Mail Settings'.
  3. Click on 'IMAP' to ensure that IMAP access is enabled.

Generate an App-Specific Password

If you use two-step verification with your AOL account, you'll need an app-specific password:

  1. Go to the AOL Account security page at https://login.aol.com.
  2. Sign in if prompted.
  3. Navigate to 'Account Security'.
  4. Click on 'Generate app password' or 'Manage app passwords'.
  5. Select your app from the list or choose 'Other App' and type 'Attachment Bot'.
  6. Click 'Generate'. Note the password, as it will not be shown again.

Adding Your AOL Account to Attachment Bot

With the necessary settings configured:

  1. Open Attachment Bot and navigate to the accounts tab in the sidebar.
  2. Tap 'Add Account'.
  3. Enter your full AOL email address.
  4. Use the app-specific password if you have two-step verification enabled, otherwise use your regular AOL password.
  5. For the IMAP server, enter 'imap.aol.com' and port 993.
  6. Save your account information to start accessing your emails in Attachment Bot.

Make sure to keep your app-specific password secure to maintain the integrity of your AOL account.
