My wife uses Thunderbird on Windows 11 for her e-mail. She uses the free AOL mail.
Still works. I am replying from Thunderbird right now, and I have my old AOL account configured in this instance. It works perfectly and I just logged into my AOL webmail to check -- all my latest AOL mails are there and working. Verizon has taken over AOL mail and Yahoo mail and others. It was branded as Oath Inc for a while, as described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahoo!_Inc._(2017%E2%80%93present)#Under_Veriz...) All the mail now flows through Verizon servers. You need to configure Thunderbird for OAth 2 authentication, as also used for Gmail and others. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OAuth As well as the spelling note the capitalisation difference between Oath and OAuth. The similarity is coincidental. So long as your wife's copy of Thunderbird authenticates with OAuth, it will works fine and there is no need to pay anything. You may need to remove and recreate the account. In the past I found that I could not change authentication from anything else to OAuth: it only works correctly on a newly-configured T'bird account. -- Liam Proven - Profile: https://about.me/liamproven Email: lproven@cix.co.uk - Google Mail/Hangouts/Plus: lproven@gmail.com Twitter/Facebook/Flickr: lproven - Skype/LinkedIn: liamproven IoM: +44 7624 227612 ~ UK: +44 7939-087884 ČR (+ WhatsApp/Telegram/Signal): +420 702 829 053
