I have been using Thunderbird for years and no changes to the email accounts I use. Yesterday I started getting the popup to redirect my sign in and password for my AOL account only through s.yimg.com. (I didn't do it) I can sign in on other devices with this AOL email account with no problem. A screenshot is attached. Thank you.

That is the window that appears when the authentication method for the incoming and outgoing servers is OAuth2, which is correct for AOL, Yahoo, gmail etc. Enter your account password in the next window, and an oauth:// token will be stored in Saved Passwords.

Hi sfhowes, I was skeptical because most of the posts on a google search said don't do it. I just tried multiple times and on the 3rd attempt it went through and it appears it is working now. Thank you for your help.
