Is AOL Mail down

AOL Mail is a free web-based email (webmail) service provided by AOL. The service is sometimes referred to as AIM Mail where AIM stands for AOL Instant Messenger which is AOL’s instant messaging service. During the summer of 2012, AOL Mail got a new look, its first significant overhaul in five years.

Despite the preference for email shifting towards other services such as Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook and Comcast, AOL Mail continues to be a priority for many consumers in the US and when AOL Mail is not working it can be a disaster if down for long periods of time.

aol-status

Is AOL Mail down for you and not working on Friday June 18, 2021? We notice that when AOL Mail has problems, customers often suffer from AOL Mail not loading properly and more often than not it shows a blank screen after log in.

Another big problem that we have experienced is AOL Mail login not working with a ‘504 Gateway timeout’ error that appears all of the time, please let us know in the discussion section if you see this.

Leave your status below and look out for updates below this page in our comments section for when an outage is in progress.

    I Have three aol accounts, two are fine, the other is showing todays emails and those from ONE YEAR ago. Can’t see any of the 2021 ones apart from todays…

  • Around 9:00 today, as I was looking at my AOL mail on my iPhone, suddenly all of the old messages in my Inbox from months back were gone. i checked with other devices, email clients, platforms, apps and they’re just gone. Interestingly, the recent search strings are all still there, but no messages can be found. I tried contacting AOL, nut they were useless. Anyone else encounter this issue?

    • Michelle Kaufman

      My email format looks different this morning .. it shows only the most recent 10 emails under “new mail” .. to see older ones I have to go to “Page” just above the emails and go to Page 2, Page 3, Page 4…each ones displays 10 emails at a time. Not sure if this is permanently changes or just a glitch.

  • ann Smith

    No NEW Mail. AND? Wiped out ALL my OLD MAIL

    • I had EXACTLY this same problem around 9:00 this morning. Can’t get any answers from AOL as to the cause.

  • Last emails to sync for me were on the 27th May. I can login to the website but nothing else. I’ve tried everything I can but no luck so far. It’s definitely AOL, not our apps. As always “AOL” stands for “Almost OnLine”

    The only way I could get around this was to download the AOL app. I had email configured on Edison, Spark, and the default iPhone email app but those all stopped working the same day, just not sure which day it was.

  • korgie wagner

    aol down in SOCAL..can’t get email

  • mmctec

    When AOL changed its app to include news and other selections (did AOL bother to ask what its customers wanted?), it did something to server settings, etc. for old app. Server settings do not work to re-install app on my phone and new app has ads.

  • mmctec

    did you try changing your password?

  • mmctec

    Has anyone been able to add ONLY email to their phone? Before they loaded the changed app, I had just email on my phone. I am not interested in all of the other sections since I have them through other phone apps.

    Answer:A:
    I did some research for you. AOL is now requiring App-Specific passwords to be entered instead of your normal password. This is part of their security measure. So, How does one create an App Specific password to enter for AOL email account(s)? See below:

    If you’ve activated 2-step verification for your AOL account, you’ll need to generate and use an “app password” to access AOL Mail from these apps.

    1. Sign in and go to the AOL Account security page. You can do this by signing on to AOL from a computer.

    2. Click Generate app password or Manage app passwords.

    3. Select your app from the drop down menu and click Generate.

    4. Follow the instructions below the password.

    – Be sure to enter the password into your app without any spaces.

    5. Click Done.

    6. Use this app password and your email address to sign in to your email app.

    • Denise Caiazzo

      This worked on my iPhone and Microsoft outlook on my laptop. I have all of my AOL emails again. Thank you so very much!

    • Lisa™

      Holy crap how ridiculous. Thank you so much for posting this fix.

    • Thanks so much! AOL is back on my Outlook!

    • Rich Roque

      I followed your instruction. I though t it was working but when I try signing in with the new password. Sadly I am still getting this error :

      BLERK!
      ERROR 1
      ERR1100 Report ID: 0c7ec4da4913ef4db-20210525-144620-Unauth Session

      Authentication Problem
      Sometimes your browser’s security settings can affect how AOL Mail loads. Each browser will have different instructions for adjusting their settings.
      Adjust security settings on Edge
      Adjust security settings on Safari
      Adjust security settings on Google Chrome
      Adjust settings on Firefox to run in Safe Mode

    OMG! I have struggled for days and Axel Foley nailed it. I owe you a puppy or something. You are my hero!!

  • Tony Gamble

    One of my accounts got blocked on assorted third party email systems today.

    Look down this thread about a month and you will see a post about putting in a special password generated by using the AOL app. It works. It is easy. I have changed about six in the last twenty minutes and all work perfectly now.

  • Why can’t I see ALL of my folders on the AOL Android app. I used to be able to access all of them, now it’s limited as to what folders I have when accessing AOL thru my phone. I uninstalled and reinstalled AOL and it didn’t make a difference.
    Anyone else having this problem?

  • Catherine Curry

    Does anyone know how to make a new email folder with this updated version?

    • mmctec

      Click on the multiple line section at the top left .. and you will see your folders for mail and your personalized folders. Click on “my folders” and click on the the plus sign, which brings up a blank line where you can enter your file name.

  • Amelia Vann Howard

    AOL DID send me email about a month ago saying things were changing soon with AOL, that in time it would only work with the AOL App. I didn’t pay a lot of attention at first because I saw no change. BUT, finally about a week ago I had to install the (new to me) AOL App on my phone to keep using it there (Samsung/Android). Yes, there were changes, but it only took a few tries to figure it out. For instance, I now have to find my old/saved mail folders under a new file menu – but I can add new/saved email in folders there. And, though I can still read new emails on my Kindle I finally figured out, until the app is updated (not available, currently, apparently), I can ONLY REPLY or SEND NEW Email via my phone/the Updated App. Fingers crossed/HOPE the app for Kindle will be updated – SOON. Have not tried/rarely use my laptop, so cannot say – but I’d think the AOL App will need updating there, too.

  • Jenine Carroll

    scoll down 23 days ago- Axel F has it!

  • Judy Rychlewski

    I am having the same problem as of Monday but just in my phone. It says to enter my password in settings which I’ve done multiple times but it doesn’t authenticate. The AOL Phone APP does work and my Laptop is working.

  • Derrick Golland

    With no notice my AOL STOPPED WORKING.. on Tuesday 6th April. AOL required a new password. Which one? From where? Why? No explanation. I now have three routes into AOL, but which is which? We seem to be able to manage with webmail (I think). However, I can no longer print to my Canon printer. I can no longer copy and paste to insert complex text. Having been with AOL since around 1997 I can honestly say that whatever the company is up to they have definitely taken a major step backwards to an amateurish solution. Perhaps they should employ some specialist IT staff.

  • Lisa

    Every day on my iphone in outlook I have to delete my AOL mail account and generate a new third party app password and re- add my AOL email account back
    using the new 3rd party password I generated. This daily generating a new password, removing and adding my aol account back into outlook on my phone is getting ridiculous. Anybody got a fix for it?

  • Arlene Litvin

    as of Saturday, April 10, 2021 5:00pm On my samsung galaxy 10 – in AOL mail – looks different and I can’t access all the folders I created under FOLDERS – only basic ones show – I have over 10 folders not showing on my phone – but show on my laptop PC -what happened. Please note – I am a Verizon Customer and am stuck with using AOL mail.

  • Barbara Griffin Hunter

    That’s my point, I can’t get any emails on my laptop.

  • NotMe

    I never used 2 step verification in 20+ yrs & it simply will not sign in even after updating Chrome and Android System WebView like AOL website says fixes the issue. Thats not the the fix here and surely they know it isn’t. Like always they’ll stand behind that fix and leave it up to us for shady workarounds which only lowers security.
    I’ve updated, force stopped/restarted apps, rebooted phone etc.. all morning but it just wont sign in or sync no matter what’s done here. Since I can still sign in on their website just fine without using two step and can read/send/move email perfectly fine once I’m there it seems to be the 3rd party android mail apps failing to jog with AOL website. We can only hope they’ll fix the issue soon that they’ve created.
    I may try 2 step before its all over although I never had a reason for that option, but if that is the main issue I’m shocked that major change is not stated on AOL website instead of a banner stating they are aware of 3rd party issues?
    It wont didn’t allow me to add a new AOL account on my android email account, I tried that too. It didn’t ask for two step sign-in during a new email setup either, weird if its what’s needed now?

    • Circle of Awesome Moviegoers

      This. 100% this.

  • Chris

    OMG! Thanks so much as I was going crazy trying to figure out the problem with why I couldn’t get mail on my ipad anymore. Just an FYI, for me the generated password had spaces in it and I had to put the spaces in the ipad as well as it did not work without them.

  • Mike T.

    A couple of days ago I found about 50 emails from my several of my storage files that popped up in my New Mail section. I have tried to move them back, but although it says they have been moved, they are still there. I can delete the file with no problem, but I want to keep most of them. Anyone having the same problem?

    • Cathy Strzempka

      Same problem, tried repeatedly to move them and it says they are moved but still there. Signed out and signed back in, nothing changed.

  • Oakcourt

    After several years of mail syncing, last week, my AOL account quit syncing with my Windows 10. I have tried every suggestion and today, it is still not syncing. I even added a yahoo mail account, which I don’t use to my syncing. And it is syncing fine. I sent an e-mail thru my AOL account, which I can access directly, and it was received in my yahoo mail, and it synced by showing up in my synced mail account in Windows 10. So now, I know that AOL has done something to stop my syncing. I will now try to get thru to AOL again, and complain. I don’t see a direct PHONE NUMBER for customer service, but will try again by e-mail thru customer service.

    • Oakcourt

      It’ resolved. The answer is listed below by another post – see Axel Foley. Basically, you have to setup another separate password for your Mail and paste that in your synced mail account as the password. Thank You for ending such a frustrating week!

    • Martin Schmid

      Thanks a lot. I have been trying everything for two days now (why didn’t everybody have this problem at the same time?) until I saw your comment here (Axel Foley’s, that is). I don’t know if AOL communicated this to their users. I get a lot of emails that I ignore. Once established app passwords, Incredimail (sadly no longer supported) synched in a few seconds. My Outlook is still working on it after more than a hour.

  • Xpflyer

    No AOL email on Samsung App on two phones. Mail stopped working on 3/21/2021. Seems OK using a Windows computer.

    My aol emails stopped working with my samsung email app on my samsung cellphone on 3/22/21. Last rcvd email was late that night. Aol emails come in fine on my desktop through thunderbird app.

  • Bossman

    My Outlook and g-mail have stopped syncing with aol. This started on March 22nd. the g-mail sync is evident on my samsung phone and samsung tablet. The esrver won’t accept the sign on.

    Microsoft Mail Client (win10 home) fails to connect to the AOL account, Started 3/22/21. Removed and re-added, still nothing. Installed Thunderbird and it connects to AOL. Likewise AOL app on android is fine. This is purely a Microsoft Issue with the MS Mail Client

  • Andee Zetterbaum

    Two of my 3 AOL accounts are still working with Outlook, but one stopped working last night (3/22/21). I can access it just fine directly on AOL, or using Outlook on my iPhone, but on my desktop computer that one account says it cannot access the server.

  • Howard Marcus

    its not down however it now takes forever to download

  • skkydreemer

    I have an older version of Outlook on my laptop. Since yesterday morning I have not been able to receive AOL emails via Outlook. I keep getting prompts to enter my password. Hopefully this is resolved soon. Sorry everyone is having problems but I’m glad it isn’t just me!

  • LynCee

    Second day of no aol email in Los Angeles. Looking into other email plans.

  • LynCee

    I had the same problem with yahoo awhile back. A Yahoo chatroom helper couldn’t get it to work, but managed to keep changing my password. I’ve never been able to access Yahoo on my iPhone or iPad since then. I guess aol and Yahoo aren’t interested in keeping their customers.

  • Julie Smith

    I have been struggling with this since 3/4/21! Several times in the last week, I’ve tried the below app specific password and it works…..somewhat. After deleting my AOL account from Outlook, turning my computer off then back on and starting Outlook, I add my AOL account back to Outlook with the app specific password, Outlook begins loading (syncing) my inbox with email. Looks good until it gets to about August of 2018……then it just stops syncing the inbox. Also won’t sync sent mail. Then, Outlook all together stops responding! Anyone find a solution yet?? Thank you!

      This is my exact problem, too. I’m being forced to use the AOL app on my Android phone to get it to connect properly. I do not have two-step verification enabled, so this is extremely frustrating!!!

  • Coolone

    Is crazy!…

    So, with multiple email accounts on AOL, it’s easy to try and see what’s the issue. Using Google Pixel phone, one account suddenly has authentication errors… But if you go directly through a computer or web page access on the phone, it works. So what’s this? AOL isn’t down, but it’s system is rejecting a log-in from a red party app! Delete the account and attempt to reengage with mail app on phone is futile! Did everything under the sun. Even downloaded an different 3rd party app and same error occurs.

    Is funny though how downloading AOL’s own Android app works… Hmmmmm!?

    Is simply amazing but this is nothing more than a forced compliance attempt to ensure users download and use their app. I turned off every single tracker! It’s insane that my account continually gets rejected other than by their own app, or direct access on a web page. It’s intentional…

    And funny thing is my other account works still so they cannot say it’s the app, it’s the phone, it’s anything but them targeting random accounts for denial of service unless using a particular method, theirs!

  • Reuven Buckberg

    So many problems with them and when you consider the fact that they started charging for tech-support, one would think that they really don’t want customers (and seeing as though they are getting paid via ads you would think that this would be important to them). If they no longer wanted customers all they had to do was to shut down. They didn’t need to jeopardize our personal information and inconvenience us by not allowing us to get our emails in order to drive us away. All they have to do is say the word….in fact, they don’t have to say anything to me. Their silence and unwillingness to help without selling a bunch of worthless ad-ons is enough of an indicator that we need to look for another email provider. I’m starting now….

  • Craig Vandertie

    I do not believe it AOL wanted to charge me for full service to solve the problem with their Mobile Application and of course I was speaking with an inept buffoon at a Call Center in Mumbai.

  • Craig Vandertie

    Unless someone knows any other reason why I may be getting the Webpage not available through my AOL Ap other than a site problem would appreciate any advice.

    Send said advice via [email protected] because the AOL account connected to my Disqus account is 1 of the ones I am not being allowed to log back onto.

  • Craig Vandertie

    It is not just the Desk Top version that is experiencing problems.

    When I attempt to log in I keep getting a message saying Webpage not available, I updated all of my Applications after clearing my cache and data and still receive the same message, I can only assume it is a domain/site problem and not a problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Smart phone or my AT&T network.

  • Jude Aoun

    My AOL Desktop Gold has been freezing the last week or two (since the 2014 version Windows Updated on 7/14 or thereabouts, I believe). AOL uses up to 80% of my CPU when this happens and freezes all my computer’s processes. The tech guru I hire had to take the software off of my computer, whereupon my machine reverted to operating perfectly. I tried reloading AOL, and my machine (and AOL itself) immediately started freezing again. Is anybody aware of a problem occurring with AOL desktop software subsequent to the recent windows update, or even an independent problem with AOL unrelated to the windows update, in the latter half of July, 2020? Please and thank you.

  • Diana Reeves

    error message 7 ,message says oops, won’t open aol gold. I can get into the old aol, but it is missing a lot of things my gold had on it….

  • Julia Purdy

    I don’t have this particular problem. But I can offer a suggestion: it may have to do with your browser. I am jettisoning gmail completely and moved all my contacts to aol, yesterday. I have no problem accessing emails on aol today on Firefox. I also jettisoned outlook some time ago because it was becoming a conduit for every spam in the world. I had aol on Opera and jettisoned that too. I also opened a new browser, Pale Moon, to take the pressure off the others when I want to stash favorites for long-term.

    It’s really dog-eat-dog out there and every company is trying to horn in on every other competitor’s territory. It gets more and more complicated so I just said, “bag it.”
    So far so good!

  • Judy Heller

    I had trouble on Sunday July 5th and have had it sporadically in the last couple of weeks where there is missing mail in my AOL account that is on my main computer, which uses Edge. I know because there are daily items, like the newspaper that are missing. So far they haven’t come. They are on my Apple phone.

  • Glanda Widger

    I keep getting waiting on response from aol then this page cannot be displayed. all day july 3rd and still this morning.

  • Jill Prindle O’Grodnick

    This is what I am getting when trying to access AOL Mail
    Unknown Host
    Description: Unable to locate the server requested — the server does not have a DNS entry. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the server name, or the server no longer exists. Double-check the name and try again.

  • David Hasse

    As one of those dinosaurs/luddites who stuck with Compuserve after beta testing AOL I don’t understand the surprise. Even in the dial up days they were selling much more than they could deliver, 56K when you’re lucky to get 33. The 10 MB/S they sell now is dependent on no one else in your county wanting to go online. Downloads at 1.1 MB/S are the actual top speed on my CenturyLink connection, uploads a very small fraction of that. Bandwidth competition drives the 3G to 4G to 5G evolution, being owned by Verizon can only complicate the cost/benefit analyses of supporting an email service when all their customers are stuck at home trying to use it.

    I have Microsoft edge and until a few days ago, could get into my AOL account and check my email , but not anymore. And to make matters worse, they deducted the $14.95 that I pay per month to use it. How stupid is that?? Very frustrated that I can’t even get into AOL. When is this going to be fixed??? Are they even working on it??

    As of 11/1/19, my Verizon AOL email is down. Both on phone and my laptop. Not a hardware issue on my end. My phone resolved itself on 11/4 3 days later. My laptop still won’t send a receive. I did a search and there is a help update on AOL dated current and the AOL site won’t even pull up. What is going on?

  • Elizabeth Montroy

    Not loading emails just spins

  • Apparently, mail problems at AOL go deeper than client usage.  The mail server through which my outbound mail goes is reporting that the TLS handshake fails when my server connects with theirs.  This just started a few days ago, and apparently is widespread.

  • socalifmba

    If you pay for AOL there is a phone number to call, but they will verify if you’re a paying customer. If you are not, they won’t help you. You’ll have to email them. I pay for AOL, but their phone “support” (cough, cough) is minimal.

  • socalifmba

    STUPID ME! I’ve been a paying customer of AOL since the mid-1990s and the service has gotten so bad the last year or so. This problem has happened again …..As of August 17, 2019 we haven’t been able to get nor send any AOL mail using our Android phones (Samsung Galaxy S5) with the Mail app…..we’re forced to use the horrible AOL app that is a total pain to send files & photos…you have to click each file attachment separately…it takes forever…. For years I’ve had our Mail app use IMAP, which usually works ‘ok’…that’s what completely stopped working as of 8/17/19, so I changed the settings to POP3 and got our email working again….However, as of today 09/07/19…..we can’t send or receive email again!!! It seems as though once an email account is set up, it only works for a week or so, then stops working again.

  • Brian Kennedy

    AOL HAS BEEN TRYING TO GET FREE EMAIL ELIMINATED FOR MONTHS! BEAUSE OF 3RD PARTY PROVIDERS AOL MAIL RECIPIENTS NO LONGER HAVE TO SEE THE AOL ADVERTISING AND IT PISSES THEM OFF!
    I HAVE HAD A MULTITUDE OF PROBLEMS GETTING MY EMAIL AND IVE HAD AOL MAIL FOR 25 YEARS! WITH THE SAME EMAIL NAME! HARD TO LEAVE BUT I IMAGINE WHEN WE PAY FOR THEIR SERVICE OUR PROBLEMS WILL INSTANTLY GO AWAY!

    • socalifmba

      Same here Brian! I’ve had my account since the mid-1990s and I usually use the Mail app on my Android phone. As of August 17, 2019 I can’t send or receive email..whether IMAP or POP3. I use the Android Mail app because it’s easier to send multiple photos/files at one time vs the horrible AOL app that forces us to add every single photo & file separately. Paying customers should NOT have to see ANY ads! I’m understanding now why so many people make fun of us idiots who pay for AOL!

    I’m having problems with Yahoo Mail. And I think others are as well. Yesterday in Virginia about 5 PM EST I was kicked out of my yahoo email account. When I tried to get back in I was told “Sorry do not recognize that e-mail.” So it looks like my email account has been deactivated or deleted. This is my main email and I use it alot so it couldn’t be removed due to non-use. I reached out to their customer service on their help website, but haven’t heard anything. If they are having a system wide experience I wished they would send out a mass notice.

  • Jess

    When trying to receive mail through client like Outlook, I get a “timed out” error message. I’m a Verizon customer who was forced onto AOL Mail a year and a half ago. Since then it seems AOL Mail is down every two weeks or so. Really tired of this, I use my account for business and so much downtime is unacceptable (yes I should probably find a better email but at the moment it’d be a big hassle changing my address with all the folks whom I do business with).

    Is AOL email down in Tampa area ?

  • Tracy

    Yes Problems With Aol Actually, people are going through Aol missing emails because of few reasons, sometimes this can be related to browser problems and sometimes, this may related to the server problem.

    So here are some techniques to fix Aol missing emails problem. If anyone is going through Aol mail disappeared issue. They may go ahead and follow the instructions given below. I am sure these instructions will help them to fix Aol missing emails problem.
    if your Aol emails are missing, this problem can be related to your browser as well. so I will suggest you to optimize your browser properly.

    After optimizing your browser, you should try to log in your Aol mail again. I am sure you will start getting emails from your Aol account.

    So in other words, we can say Aol desktop is an easy control panel to organize and execute the Aol services. If we talk about types of Aol desktop software available in the market, there are two types of software. First one is known as Aol desktop regular version. Which is a free software tool for every Aol users. But there is no official support for this software.

    While another version is known as Aol gold, that is a premium version of Aol desktop software. You can use this software after paying $4.99 per month. If you are facing any problem with Aol desktop gold, you may claim for support from Aol directly.

    if you want to try, you can also get Aol gold desktop on trial basis. if you like it, you can join gold membership later.Aol Classic Email looks to be History today, 7/13/18. This is the first day that switching back to supposedly Classic, Original, takes me to a NEW Original. All the features I love are gone. I’ve been on Aol for probably longer than 95% of you all, simply based on my age. I can tell you that every change Aol has made in email and what was originally Aol Clubs, which became Aol Groups resulted in less use of Aol and a unanimous opinion that it should have been left alone

    here is no telephone number that works to call AOL UK. When I email my query AOL say they will respond in 72 hours. It’s over a week and not even an acknowledgement. I cannot send emails for over one week and since 1500 today I cannot receive any incoming emails on any of my devices and unable to correspond with anyone from AOL.

    I need to reset my password. The two step verification the numbers are old and I do not have access to the telephone numbers. Also I do not recall setting up a two step verification. Grateful if you could be so kind as to respond and let me know how to resolve my issue.

  • Micheal

  • Sarah Johnson

    @@lisatimberly:disqus Please help out.I live in Ohio in the USA. Ever since Thursday my AOL email has had a message in Black at the bottom saying that, “Your AOL. com (AOL) account is disconnected.” this is on my Samsung Galaxy Note 5. My computer is down so I can only access anything on my phone and on my tablet. It has an option next to the message saying it’s disconnected saying the word “fix.” I’ve gone through every freaking step multiple times trying to verify my own identity and it will not let me at all. I get to the part where you have to have a code sent to an alternate email or through text or phone call. It has my number ending in 43 when it ends in 09. I don’t understand that at all. I have not changed my phone number. I need to be able to use my AOL and Microsoft account because I use it for my DirecTV now streaming service and need it to be able to log in if it’s ever accidentally logs out. I’m not paying $35 a month for something I can’t access, the directvnow. And I can’t just create a new email address because I have my more important emails sent to my AOL email instead of my Gmail email. What is going on? It was already giving me trouble on Wednesday and forced me to have to reset my password which has always been the same for my computer and email for years and I know it is the right one. I made it so I can’t forget it. So I had to go to the irritating process of resetting my password and I reset it to the one that it already was. I had to try it over and over and over again just to get the new password to work and let me in. And then I find out on Friday when I try to look at my emails that my last email was Wednesday when I changed my password and I got that black message at the bottom of the screen saying it’s disconnected. I really rather talk to a person if possible. I’m starting to get angry because all the troubleshooting I’ve tried needs me to log into Microsoft AOL to be able to troubleshoot which I can’t do. I can’t log into it at all in the first place which is the problem. Getting very angry.

    Why would AOL give us a number to call , they never answer or hang up, mail has been delayed for days, the new app gives a banner to tell you “you have mail” and you can see who its from when you try to retrieve it there is no mail at all.
    then ya have to wait until it arrives so nothing can be trusted.
