If it reports back ‘wrong password’, enter your LAST OLD password.ĪOL, when changing security to using OAuth2, for some reason, retains only your last old password, and the most recent password is discarded. When asked, enter your most recent password. (6) For Authentication Method, choose “OAuth2” (4) For User Name, enter the full email address, such as Under Security Settings, Connection Security is ‘SSL/TSL” (3) On the right, on POP3, or POP, Server,Įnter “’. (2) On the left column, click ‘Server Settings’ of the email of concern Here is how (make the change manually on Thunderbird): I had it working on my Thunderbird, Version 91.5.1, 64-bit, on Windows 10. I hope it’ll be saved as a reference when people have the same problem with AOL mail (as of 2021-2022), when accessing by a 3rd party mail handler/client, such as Thunderbird.
So my solution is: forgot Thunderbird, use AOL Mail site in any browser. For example, one of my AOL mail addresses is connected as POP3 on Win 10 machine and as IMAP on iPad (It was changed from POP3 without me. So I think that the problem stays with AOL Mail Security settings changed by AOL and not fully developed ways for old mail clients to restore connections. Now I have on Thunderbird one account not changed for couple of years one account connected with app password and working and one account that randomly is shown in account panel and randomly not shown when I try to add new email account, but always not receiving any mail messages. Probably, they switched to 2-poiht authentication, but following their recommendation, you will remove client and will not able to connect to this server again. For Thunderbird it was : remote email address and enter it as a new client. In the same notification they gave receipts what to do for they accepted third party mail clients. I have to use AOL Mail site to get this mail now, Can I return to Thunderbird or Outlook?īefore they announced that from in December they will stop accept third party email clients connections. When I was setting the connection on iPad it was the same POP3, but somehow it was changed automatically in respond to offer best security on iPad, I suspect. The same address and password, but on iPad it is IMAP mail with OAuth 2.0 topic authentication, but on my Win 10 desktop it is POP3 with normal password authentication. The only difference is that this account is also connected to iPad with different setting. I can receive and send messages on AOL Mail web site with the same address and password I enter in Thunderbird, but not Thunderbird, not Outlook 365 can ‘t connect to. I removed it and tried to set anew, but it is saying can not log to server. Suddenly, one account stopped receiving messages about couple weeks ago.
All accounts have the same settings and passwords and address All accounts were connected to Mozilla Thunderbird. I have three email accounts on AOL Web Mail.
