i just got my n800, and i decided to set up my aol mail on the standard email client that came with the device
i used all the correct settngs and double checked them. it still doesnt work, it logs on but when it gets to "Recieving headers (2 of 20)" it just stops and doest recieve anything....

anyone got any ideas or should i just surrender to claws mail?

After much research, the good news is that AOL does use POP3!

AOL advise that…

'You can now send and receive your AOL or AIM e-mail using any e-mail program, as long as it supports either the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) or the Post Office Protocol (POP). You get all the great features AOL or AIM e-mail has to offer and the flexibility to read and send e-mail via a third-party e-mail client.'

Create a new account with the following configuration options:
For N810
1/4 Account Name = Whatever
Account Type = POP3
2/4 Name = Your Name
Username = firstpartofyouremailaddress
Password = your account password
Email Address = firstpartofyouremailaddress@aol.com
3/4 Incoming Server (POP3) = pop.aol.com
Outgoing server (SMTP) = smtp.aol.com
Don't tick 'use connection specific SMTP servers' box
4/4 Click 'Advanced' tab


INCOMING
Tick 'Leave messages on server' box
Password authentication = Normal
Security = None
Incoming email port = 110
OUTGOING
SMTP Authorization = Login
User Name = firstpartofyouremailaddress
Password = your account password
Security = None
Outgoing email port = 587

Click OK
Works for me!

Good luck,
