Due to sending issues with my aol and gmail accounts, I uninstalled and reinstalled Windows Live Mail.  Gmail was set up ok but aol will not.  I keep getting a message indicating that the aol server has unexpectedly terminated the connection.

My individual aol account is working fine.

I have set the incoming server to imap 993 and the outgoing to smtp 587.  Why do I continue to have problems.  I have a Gateway NE 722 laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro.

Thanking you for any assistance you can give me.

I recently added an AOL email account to 2011 Outlook for Mac.  I have a similar Earthlink email account which also has been set up in Outlook.  When emails are transferred from AOL to Outlook they are not removed from the AOL server.  Emails are removed from the Earthlink server when transferred to Outlook.  In Outlook Preferences, Accounts, Advanced the box is unchecked for "Leave a copy of message on server" for both accounts.  Why are emails removed from the Earthlink server and not from the AOL server?
