In recent weeks outgoing messages went slower and slower and now I can no longer send messages via smtp.aol.com in my Thunderbird v. 78.11.0 (32-bit) Windows 10 email client.

Other outgoing servers work fine in TB!

Where can I get explicit Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings for the the current version of TB for Windows 10?

I have found many comments. Many are incomplete and unclear, and none work. I have invested many decades in TB. Have a huge directory tree and am using the calendar to good effect. Hate to give up on this email client.

Answers for TB, Windows 10 version only. Please! And answers only if you have tested your information and found it working.

Oh and "trial and error solutions" I can do myself. There has got to be a crisp answer out there somewhere. please no replies that require me to do anything but entering correct settings in the appropriate TB settings windows.

Thank you

Use smtp.aol.com on port 465, SSL/TLS security, authentication = OAuth2, User Name = email address.

This answer is a textbook example for excellent clear and concise answers.

This answer should get published as an example for what "good" answers should look like.

Thank you sfhowes. You turned a confused mess into a simple solution.
