I have no experience, but I would check the log first;

I think either 2-step authentication was required or AOL had a glitch. I enable 2-step authentication. Logged into the Website. Text message arrived with a verification code. Plugged the number in. Then went back to using Thunderbird to read and write e-mails and it worked. Continued to work after logging out of the Website. Thank you all for the help, Jeffrey and Janelle
