To configure your AOL account for Outlook, you can either use the IMAP server or POP3 server. Both methods will work on your Windows PC. Then, select the IMAP server and password. If you're using POP3, you should choose IMAP. IMAP will allow you to receive and send emails from your AOL server. If you're using IMAP, you can configure AOL to send and receive emails to Outlook through multiple devices, such as your phone and laptop.
