Am I missing something? (I am inclined to think that this pass key is a “Yahoo/AT&T” thing.) I would probably remember having to deal with a string of 16 characters not so long ago (I only recently installed and started using Thunderbird).

(*) Is that for the Windows version of Thunderbird? I have the Mac version and have not heard of, or seen a pass key. If this does not work, or what PK recommends (*) and no one comes up with a really effective idea and you do not find a good answer elsewhere … In that situation I would grab a gun and shoot the computer, or else use an axe, maybe.

Finally, change your old password in your Thunderbird mail account to the new one and then try to see if your email is working again. Login to AOL, to make sure the password is working, then do whatever there and logout. In that case tell the AOL robot that you forgot your password, get new one, as annoying as that may be. If your login fails, that means your password has been changed, or much more likely, that AOL has changed the rules as to which passwords are admissible (let’s say that now “!” is no longer admissible in a password, or whatever). (4) If you are having a problem connecting *not through a browser, but face to face with Thunderbird on your desktop* to the outgoing server (), which is what one actually does when trying to send emails, and you have not changed anything and are sure that your password has not been changed mysteriously, my suggestion would be to get in touch with AOL by logging in to your account with it at the AOL Web site. My server for sending emails is and for receiving emails is. (3) I have Thunderbird and another client, and both are working just fine at the moment. (2) AOL, regardless of the above and depending on how one’s email account has been set up, uses an incoming server called either “” or “” (that now is a POP3 server, actually) and an outgoing server called “”. That who knows if it actually cares about the email business, or if it is one of those outfits that buy companies that are going concerns to sell them for parts. (1) “Verizon” is now AOL, but AOL, who used to be part of Verizon - and after it was so bought, Verizon gave it the job of taking care of the Verizon emails - is now no longer part of Verizon, as Verizon sold it to some finance company. Maybe this could be of help, probably not: If I go to “preferences: passwords” the Verizon account is missing! If i attempt to collect new mail the error screen comes up and asks for current password, which is then refused. One thing I just noticed: If I go to “Account settings” there is an entry for the account.
Why should it work on the AOL email website and not not in the email clients? If you have multiple Profiles, do this for each.Īny further thoughts appreciated.
