AOL VERIZON.NET EMAIL unable to set up as IMAP ...

I was forced by Verizon to migrate my Verizon.net email id to AOL in February. In doing so, you have the option to use IMAP or POP.  Verizon did not support IMAP so I obviously decided to use IMAP for the "new" email account (same email id though). I saved my email and created new accounts on my iPhone and IPAD. It set them up as IMAP and it worked as it was supposed to.

On my IMAC and Macbook, it just doest work. OSX automatically sets up the AOL (verizon.net) account as a POP account and not an IMAP account. I have not been able to figure out how to get around that. Even when setting it up manually, it sets it up as a POP account.

Apple has to update OSX to allow the user to set up an AOL verizon.net email id as IMAP.  Verizon did not support IMAP which is why i believe this is still an issue. I deleted the old verizon.net email account on my macbook and iMac. When I set up the new account, bingo, OSX sets it up as a POP account no matter what you do.

Anyone able to help??

Is this how you were doing the manual setup?

Delete the account, then add it back. After filling in the 1st screen, hold down the option/alt key while clicking Continue. Fill in the necessary information, then click continue until all screens are filled in.

Manual Setup – El Capitan

Make sure it is configured the same in your e-mail client as the Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Internet Accounts.

I can't even set up aol with my apple email program.  every time i try, it get "unable to verify account name or password."  i'm running el capitan on both my macbook pro and my 27" iMac.  i called aol when i was first forced to change, and they said that they were "working on it."  The odd thing is that it works on my iphone and both of my ipads.  I HATE aol and I HATE web mail.  And the last time I called frontier about it, I talked with someone who had no clue what I was talking about and changed my Frontier password.  AARRGGHH!!!!!!!

This also works in Yosemite.  The IMAP server is imap.aol.com.

I'm having the same issue described here a year ago.  I'm trying to switch my Verizon/AOL email to IMAP -- no problem whatsoever on mobile devices, but when I click "AOL" on my Macbook pro and put in the email address and password, it says it doesn't recognize the email or password (the same ones that worked just fine on other devices.) 

When I try to do a manual setup, it defaults to POP -- and even if I manually change the server and port settings to the IMAP settings, it's not acting like IMAP.

At this point I'm stumped.  Any ideas?
