AOL isn't letting me use Thurnderbird to download Emails

Thunderbird Anslutningsmöjligheter

I've had AOL for an Email provider for several years now. I rarely went to the website to check my Email cause Thunderbird was linked to it. But today, AOL seems to be turning off my Thunderbird (I can't send or receive Email at the moment). It's like malware with the continuous popups making me log in to AOL to use Thunderbird but then ending up on some Yahoo Oops screen. I've been using Thunderbird since before I transitioned to AOL after moving.

It's been working fine up until today. When I do anything on Thunderbird, the annoying popup screens appear wanting me to log in. Any ideas? Have I been hacked?

- What version of Thunderbird?

- What is your operating system?

You haven't been hacked. AOL IS Yahoo, that is, Yahoo hosts AOL's email service. Yahoo requires the use if OAuth2 for authentication. It looks like you are already set up for that, but please confirm your Incoming and SMTP server settings to make sure.

OAuth2 will require you to enter your credentials on a new device, and program or operating system updates might be seen as "new" devices. Until you do so you won't be able to send or receive.

In order for OAuth2 to work, you Thunderbird must be set to allow cookies, so please check that (the setting is found at <Settings | Privacy & Security | Web Content | Accept cookies from sites>.)
