Thunderbird Support Forum

Hi!

I am having a problem getting my email using:

   Thunderbird version 102.0.3

I started having problems suddenly while using

   Thunderbird version 102.0.2

What I mean is that Monday evening I logged on and the email worked well. During the night I suddenly started getting the error message of:

  The server does not support the selected authentication
  method. Please change the 'Authentication method' in the
  'Account Settings | Server settings'.

when I checked my mail.

I know that I am doing something basically wrong but I cannot see what that is. I looked on the web and the settings below should work for "aol.com" under Thunderbird.

Thunderbird settings

  Server name: pop.aol.com
  Port: 995
  Connection security: SSL/TLS
  Authentication method: OAuth2

I updated Thunderbird from 102.0.2 to 102.0.3 and the problem persisted.

Any help would be appreciated.
