Bellow was useful but with a slight tweek...for the outgoing mail server port...i had to use PORT 465 in order to make it work instead of 587. Hope this helps
Hello,

I've been having the same problem since mail.com changed to AOL. All this week I have been unable to properly access mail.com using Apple Mail. I have tried many different POP variations of settings to get my mail.com account working again, in the end I have settled for using the IMAP server.
I have finally found the settings that allow me to send and recieve emails using Apple Mail. These settings work reliably for me giving no errors in sending or recceiving.
I hope this helps:
Account: IMAP
Incoming mail server
Hose name: imap.aol.com
username: Enter your full email address (for example: 'whoever@mail.com')
password: yourpassword
SSL: on
Authentication: password
Server port: 993
outgoing mail server
host name: smtp.aol.com
username: Enter your full email address (for example: 'whoever@mail.com')
password: yourpassword
SSL: on
Authentication: password
Server port 587
