    E-Mail SMTP Setups - UPDATED for AOL 2020!

    There have been some changes to the way you need to setup your AOL e-mail with NT. This will save you a LOT of grief as it took me a while to get this information!

    Basically, you have to follow the previous instructions except that, rather than using your actual AOL password during setup as you would have previously done, you will make an "App Password" within the security settings of AOL.

    Server= smtp.aol.com
    Port= 587
    User= "Your Full E-Mail"
    Password= "Your App Password" (NOT your e-mail password)
    Mail alert messages to= "A Full E-Mail"

    For the "App Password"...

    1) Sign in to AOL.com
    2) Click on your name
    3) Click on "Account Security"
    4) Click on "Manage App Passwords"
    5) Click on "Select Your App" then choose "Other"
    6) Give it a name, for example "NT APP" then click "Generate".

    A password will be generated. This is the one you need to use instead of your own personal one in the old (above) steps.

    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for providing this information.

    We've just noticed this ourselves due to other users reporting issues with configuring AOL share services. Documentation will be updated soon.

    Here is some documentation that AOL provides to configure an app password:
