AOL as I understand it moved to oauth authentication shortly after their happy marriage to yahoo.

Try changing the authentication method in account settings.

I have the password in TB. Not using something other than TB. I've had it this way for many years with no problem. I went into the server setting and noticed the oAUTH2 option...which you mention as well. So, I switched to it...and it seems to be working better. Not that that solved the original problem Buy anything to get Thunderbird to synch and display the emails without that annoying message box poping up every 30 seconds.
