I am having trouble configuring outlook 2000 to link to my aol email account.
I have followed the steps on the aol help page and microsoft help pages and get to the end of the wizard setup.

However at the end, it didn't ask me to download folders from the email server you added?

I cannot send emails and my inbox appears to be empty (although i have 25 emails in the inbox).
Assume this means the outlook and aol is not connected properly.

Please help.

Configuration info:
Incoming mail: imap.uk.aol.com
Outgoing mail: smtp.uk.aol.com
Outgoing mail server requires authentification - using same settings as incoming server


Connection by LAN
Outgoing mail set to 587
Incoming mail set to default which is 143

IMAP folders root folder path is blank. What do I put in here?
