[eastdulwichforum.co.uk] might also be worth a look.

I use AOL and I can confirm it is NOT a scam. They are no longer allowing third party applications to use their email system unless it matches all the current security updates. It?s mostly because they want people to use their own app, but it?s easily fixed by deleting the mail app on your phone and reinstalling with your stored passwords.

I don't understand this?


I have two AOL email addresses which I have had for years and rarely use, but I still get emails being sent to them, and one is a back up address for my gmail addresses.


I went onto them yesterday and found several of these security update emails over a period of time, including a recent "final warning."


I have AOL on both my laptop and my mobile.


I don't understand this stuff about "third party applications".


Can someone explain in very simple non technical language?
