I keep getting this notification...
Authentication error while connecting to your email provider. I tap on it and get Linked Account Settings. I can't do anything with it. It says it's Gmail but I don't see it anywhere on my Gmail app.

Samsung S22 Ultra
Android Version 15
TIA

Did what you said. It added my aol mail to Gmail. But it's on as an additional email. Before it was included with my Gmail address. As a result it did a good job filtering out spam. When I tap on the aol Addy in my Gmail it's inundated with spam.

Hmm. Searching on the web, I came up with this, but it's an AI answer, so I can't be sure how accurate it is. Is there an option in your AOL settings to turn on POP access?

  • Log in to your AOL Mail account.
  • Click on the "Settings" icon (usually a gear icon) in the upper right corner.
  • Select "Options" from the dropdown menu.
  • Choose "Mail Settings".
  • Locate the "POP and IMAP" option and click on it.
  • Enable POP access by toggling the appropriate setting.
  • Click "Save" or "Save Settings" to apply the changes.
