Hi JHolland1964

Funnily my response which you inadvertently seems to have lost, I am also not able to locate. The contents of that response did mention something in connection with my ISP which is AOL and that for contractual reasons I was not going to change it.
Having said that I have also investigated further as far as the use of IMAP using Foxmail and discovered that I am wasting my time in trying to utilize it using IMAP along with AOL as the quote / unquote suggests

Have came across a few things since your response which suggests that Foxmail as my mail client is not going to function.
This is an example of what I read

quote
Unfortunately, it doesn't support IMAP accounts and its message editor lacks basic text (re-formatting tools

Pros
• Foxmail comes with good spam filtering options and supports email security
• Easy and fun to use, Foxmail also sports great new mail notification
• Foxmail supports HTML and stationery

Cons
• Foxmail lacks support for IMAP
• Message editor can't properly re-wrap text
• Training the Bayesian filter included in Foxmail is a bit cumbersome

unquote

Bearing in mind what was said about lack of support for IMAP it is probably best to give it a miss and save myself a lot of bother.

Even though AOL supports IMAP whereas previously it did not, in this case Foxmail seems to be the one not doing so.

Any further thoughts appreciated
