In this article, you can learn about how to synchronize AOL
Mail with third-party email applications like Gmail, Outlook,
and Window Live Mail, Thunderbird etc. How to use POP or
IMAP settings to send and receive emails in other email
clients?
To do this you can use two protocols (POP or IMAP), when
you want to set up AOL Mail on a third-party email
application.
Why we use POP: It allows you to download or copy your
mails from your AOL account (mail.aol.com) to third-party
email app.
 POP
and IMAP server
settings you'll need to use
for set up AOL Mail:

Most of the email applications have a settings
section, where you have to update the IMAP or
POP settings manually. Settings section may be
avail in a different location in particular email
application, though the AOL server settings and
port settings will remain same for all third-party
email clients.


For more knowledge base, POP only downloads or
copy emails from the Inbox folder (not other
folders), so if you need to download or copy all
your emails, move these mails from existing
folders to the Inbox folder.
Why we use IMAP: IMAP allows continually
synchronization from the third party email client
and your AOL mail account to store the similar
information in both places. It means, anything
changes you did with particular email or messages
or folders in your AOL mail account will also
changed in the other email client.
