When AOL Mail Doesn't Work on iPhone or iPad, how to troubleshoot?

Whatever the case, there are various viable remedies to this problem, so let's get started on repairing AOL Mail not working on iPhone  and getting the Mail app to operate with your AOL account again.

Verify your login and password are correct:

This is step zero since it almost goes without saying, but double-check your account login and password. You may confirm this by logging in to your AOL.com email account over the web, for example. If the username or password is wrong, AOL mail will not function properly on iPhone, iPad, or any other device.

Wait a few moments and then check your email again:

Sometimes simply waiting a few minutes and trying to check email again solves the problem, especially if it's a transient issue with the email server or your internet connection.

Turn your iPhone off and on again:

Sometimes merely turning off and on the iPhone or iPad may address odd difficulties, whether with email or elsewhere.

To switch off an iPhone or iPad, hold down the POWER and VOLUME UP buttons for a few seconds, then swipe on the Power Off button. Wait a few minutes, then press and hold the POWER button again to restart your iPhone or iPad.

Getting "Account Error: AOL" alerts, or having password or login issues? Delete and re-add your AOL account

If you encounter a persistent "Account Error: AOL" warning at the bottom of the Mail app, or verification difficulties, and you know the email address and password are correct, deleting the account from the iPhone or iPad and re-adding it should remedy the problem.

The simplest approach to accomplish this is to perform the following:

• On your iPhone or iPad, open the "Settings" app.
• Go to the "Mail" tab.
• Tap the AOL account, then select "Delete Account."
• Return to the Mail settings and select "Add Account."
• Choose "AOL," then sign in and authenticate with the AOL email address account you want to add to your iPhone or iPad.
• Check the AOL email inbox in the Mail app again; everything should be OK again.
