what's going on my ebay people biker dave here with a microsoft windows fix for you
this uh this is using microsoft mail of course the regular mail program that uh the most people use
if they are if they're able to set it up that is
uh you know i use i still use america online as far as my main email service
why because i've been using it for you know 30 plus years
so i'm not trying to change everything i mean i have several aol accounts actually
but uh but sometimes setting up your aol mail so that it can be viewed with the microsoft
mail app uh sometimes challenging you know sometimes you'll enter all the information correct
you know password and and user name and all that and it still will not sync up you know it won't
show you what you know is in there or it'll tell you that your aol password is wrong and you know
it's not wrong so here is the fix now i'm using um you know windows 10 so this should work for any
windows 10 mail account or as far as you know the the main mail app okay and we have it loaded here
um first you'll need to go to america online you know which for me is right here if you go to
mail.aol.com and sign in there and as long as you know that your password is correct and all that
and you've got it pulled up like this would be i don't have any mail in this particular page
but here's what you do once you've gotten signed into aol mail we're going to generate
you're not going to change your password but you're going to generate a password that
your windows mail application can use don't ask me how or why or anything
just trust me okay once you're signed into oa mail you'll go up here and you'll go to
options watch where my mouse clicks here just go to options account info
okay over here to the left account security
click down here to the bottom
manage app passwords
z click okay now i've already done this but what you will do is then select the app it is called
outlook desktop but if you're having issues with other applications you know that are arguing with
you on trying to set up an aol mail account on a particular device here's where you could use
those as well but for the windows application for mail it's just called outlook desktop okay you
will click that guy and what it will show you or you'll then select generate it will then give you
this cluster of letters that you will need to just copy all of it copy all of it you know control c
okay then you're going to go over to microsoft mail where we just were right here
and the whichever account is giving you
you know grief it will probably show you some sort of exclamation mark or some crap like that
and when it shows you that let me see if i can do it here even though i've already fixed the problem
manage accounts find it over here here we go you will then paste that password
into here don't type it out just copy and paste it in there you know there's too
many characters to mess with anyway and lo and behold it will solve your problem it should at
least you know if you know your password is right as far as your uh aol password
all i know is it fixed my problem and i've been fighting with this thing for quite a while
so yeah rewind the video watch it again slow it down whatever you'll find
all the locations to put everything and um it should work might be a little confusing
i'll tell you it's confusing because it's wanting a different password than you know
your aol password is which is you know it's just very odd i don't have the explanation for it you
know i don't i don't write code for aol that's for sure it just helps it communicate with aol so that
it can download your mail to the microsoft mail application very strange i know but try it out and
hopefully it will work for you anyway check out our other videos we have all kinds of stuff
