Passwords
Hello, I am using thunderbird for two different aol accounts. Both receive mail on thunderbird. However, one of them does not allow me to send messages when I am in that mailbox. I checked the saved passwords, and both have the regular password for incoming mail, but a complex password for outgoing. oauth:login.aol.com(mail-w) Please advise. I did not want to do anything that might erase my saved emails for the one account. Thanks!

What error message do you get?
Also, please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button ≡, then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.

AOL uses OAuth2 authentication. With that Thunderbird doesn't remember the actual account password, but an authentication token. This is what you see for the outgoing server. Every once in a while the token expires, and you're prompted to re-authenticate.
