Getting AOL working with ubuntu 10.04 Evolution

For those of you that may be struggling with AOL and ubuntu lucid evolution...

Since AOL is IMAP compatible it works with Evolution email. Just enter the following parameters:

Receiving E-mail
Server: imap.aol.com
Username: {your on screen name}
Use Secure Connection (SSL encryption)
Authentication Type: Password
CHECKED "Remember password"

Sending E-mail
Server: smpt.aol.com:587
CHECKED "Server requires authentication"
Use Secure connection = No encryption
Authentication (PLAIN or Login)
CHECKED "Remember password"

Thats it!
