Once you have experienced the seamless and functional
access of an AIM Mail account in your email client via IMAP, I'm sure you want to be able to send mail, too. Fortunately, this is easy via
AIM Mail's SMTP server.
If you send mail through AIM Mail, copies of your outgoing messages will be placed in the Sent folder automatically.
Set up Outgoing AIM Mail (SMTP) in Any Email Client
To set up sending AIM Mail via SMTP in any email client:
Set the outgoing (SMTP) server to smtp.aim.com.
Make sure authentication is enabled for outgoing mail.
Use your AIM nickname as the user name.
Type your AIM Mail password as the outgoing mail password.
Set the outgoing (SMTP) mail server port to 25.
- If you run into problems with port 25, try setting the port to 587.
Unsend AIM Mail
If you sent something you'd rather not have sent, you can try taking it back using AIM Mail web access.
