I really miss all my emails in one place and would like to have it in on place to work . I’ve checked with AOL which is lost and have given up responding to me . I supposed they would like to have me online so that I will be forced to watch their ads constantly which is one of the reason I like receiving email through Thunderbird. Why Thunderbird Suddenly Not Getting AOL Mail?

It has a snapshot of some settings for an AOL IMAP account using port 993 and SSL/TLS. I suggest you double check your settings on it. Your username is supposed to be the full email address, Are you able to send mail using your AOL account? It’s useful to know how widespread the problem is when troubleshooting. Did you sign up with AOL originally or were you migrated from Verizon to AOL last year?
