Add Mail Account settings for AOL™ or AIM™

Using Armacrypt to send encrypted email requires an outgoing (SMTP) mail server.  AOL provides such a service and the following instructions outline the steps required to setup Armacrypt to use AOL's outgoing (SMTP) mail server.

The mail settings outlined here are specifically for AOL or AIM mail accounts.  If you are setting up an AIM account, please change all references of 'aol.com' to 'aim.com'. 

1. Click the "Tools" menu item on the Armacrypt toolbar and select "Accounts for sending Email" from the drop-down list.

2. Click the "New" button to enter details for the new mail account.

3. The "Account Description" field is local identifier for your mail account to differentiate multiple accounts.  The "Email Name" field is the name that will appear as the Sender of outgoing emails.  The "Email Address" field is the reply address unless you enter a different address in the "Reply Address" field.
   Enter the required information and click "Next" to add your mail server information.

4. Enter the Mail Server information required.  The Outgoing Mail Server address is "smtp.aol.com" or "smtp.aim.com".  The Account Name and Password are your AOL or AIM account credentials.  After entering the correct information, click "Next" to enter the advanced mail account settings required by AOL.

5. To finalise the settings for your AOL or AIM account you must change the Outgoing Port (SMTP) to 587 rather than the standard SMTP Port 25.

6. Your account settings have now been saved.  Click "Close" to return to the main program, click "New" to add another mail account or click "Edit" to modify the selected account.
