Description Petr Cervinka 2017-11-21 21:32:32 UTC
Auto configuration in Evolution doesn't work for AOL at the moment. There was change on AOL side around 7.11.2017 and port 993/995 should be used for imap/pop secure connection. Auto configuration provided by api.gnome.org still contain old information (port 143/110):
https://api.gnome.org/evolution/autoconfig/1.1/aim.com
https://api.gnome.org/evolution/autoconfig/1.1/aol.com

   </incomingServer>
    <incomingServer type="imap">
      <hostname>imap.aol.com</hostname>
      <port>143</port>
      <socketType>STARTTLS</socketType>
      <username>%EMAILLOCALPART%</username>
      <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
    </incomingServer>

    </incomingServer>
    <incomingServer type="pop3">
      <hostname>pop.aol.com</hostname>
      <port>110</port>
      <socketType>STARTTLS</socketType>
      <username>%EMAILLOCALPART%</username>
      <authentication>password-cleartext</authentication>
    </incomingServer>

I did a test with Mozilla Thunderbird and auto configuration worked, so I compared data used by Thunderbird, they don't use 143/110 anymore.
https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/aol.com
https://autoconfig.thunderbird.net/v1.1/aim.com

AOL reference: https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail

Could you please update data provided by api.gnome.org for aol.com and aim.com domains?
I know that auto configuration is not part of Evolution anymore, but couldn't figure out which section in bugzilla should be used.

Thanks for a bug report and pointers. That part of api-web is under Evolution hands, thus you filled it properly here. I made the change here [1], which is already available. I'd appreciate if you could confirm it is working properly now. Thanks in advance.

Comment 2 Petr Cervinka 2017-11-23 16:27:31 UTC
Thanks for the fix. I confirm that autoconfig works in Evolution for aim.com now.
