[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1613212"] I'd suggest, instead of calling Apple (which is unlikely to be any help, as they don't provide support for AOL mail accounts) that you instead carefully examine your AOL mail account settings in Mail against the instructions for AOL mail found on the web ... Another option would be simply delete the AOL account and re-add the account, again following the instructions from the web. You'll want to make sure you don't lose any saved emails by backing them up before trying this. A third option would be to use a web browser to sign into AOL webmail. I noted when testing Yosemite that some types of AOL support appear to have been dropped, such as support for AOL chat rooms in Messages. I assume this was a deliberate move by either AOL or Apple.
