I am using Kubuntu 24.04 LTS to run Thunderbird and trying to connect to AOL for email. AOL requires a third party app password. It recently failed to connect, then worked for a day and again failed to connect. I've had a long, friendly, but unsuccessful session with AOL tech support. They suggested that I ask Mozilla for support.

Use these settings:

incoming IMAP: imap.aol.com, 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, email address

outgoing SMTP: smtp.aol.com, 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2, email address

Enter the account (not app) password in the OAuth window. Cookies must be accepted in TB (not browser) Settings.
