Hi, I got my AOL acct to work on Win11 by first going to AOL in a browser to generate an Outlook Password. Go to the far top left to Options>Account Info>Account Security>Scroll Down to Generate and Manage App Passwords>Select a name for ex. Outlook PC>Copy Password>Now Click Add Account in Outlook>Click Other Account Pop, IMAP>Enter AOL email>Enter Name>Lastly, Paste the Generated Password This should work. It worked for me. Let me know if this worked for you.
