How will the new Apple iPhone(TM) work with my AOL/AIM Mail service?
It’s real easy to read and send emails from the Apple iPhone, as well as to set it up. All you have to do is enter in your AOL or AIM screen name and password in its email program, and that’s it! It knows what to do from there (knows which servers to go to). Now, if you have a My eAddress account, you can use the following server names to configure the Apple iPhone manually. AOL offers both IMAP and POP3 services for free. You probably paid a pretty penny for the Apple iPhone—no need to pay any more with AOL. (Did I mention that your AIM and My eAddress accounts now have unlimited storage for free!)
Incoming
mail servers:
IMAP: imap.aol.com or imap.aim.com Port
#: 143
POP3: pop.aol.com or pop.aim.com Port
#: 110
Outgoing
mail servers:
SMTP: smtp.aol.com
or smtp.aim.com
Port #:587
Technically, you can use the same info above to configure most email-enabled cell phones or email programs for use with your AOL/AIM mail account.
Enjoy and let me know if any of you were one of the lucky ones who got an Apple iPhone.
Thanks for choosing AOL,
Tae

I have been having the same problems. can't send out any mail from my iphone using my aol account. I called at&t who then forwarded me to apple who told me delete my account off the iphone and then put it back on. the mail works horribly. i checked all my settings and my outgoing and incoming servers are exactly what they are supposed to be. i just can't believe that for all the money i spent on this phone that i can't even log in to aol mail- which i thought was one of the simplest things.

When adding an AIM/Netscape account, do *not* use the AOL presettings, use the "Other" option and add all the info manually. More info in this page:

I wanted to use my AOL account on my iPhone. I've the same problem as the other users - I can't send e-mail with my iPhone via my AOL account. The handset has limited settings to alter - how can I use the phone?! I don't have access to I.T. experts - that's why I chose the iPhone for my mobile AOL mail. This is a serious problem in my opinion. Apple appear to have misrepresented the iPhone as being both easy to use and suitable for AOL mail users.

I am having the same problems as described by others. While I am able to modify the incoming settings I am unable to change the outgoing settings.With the Outgoing Settings all I am able to view is the Password> function.
Any advice please.
