Windows 10/64 and Thunderbird

Hi. I have been having problems with sending emails using thunderbird on this Windows 10/64 laptop. I have had it working with AOL SMTP but not with a IMAP AOL or Easyspace private paid for IMAP. I have had an easyspace engineer to link into my computer and he was not able top get it to work. We both agreed that the settings and password for paul@ACME-UK.net was correct. The big issue here is he is using Thunderbird on his windows computer and we both had the same release of thunderbird. He was able to set up my account on his computer. His was using Windows 11. My AOL SMTP is fine. My IMAP AOL is not fine.

Can someone help me here. This has been going on for a month now and I have received updates.

Are you saying 'dalchina' that I should select SMTP on outgoing email that uses IMAP for outgoing emails? I did say that I had an expert who accessed my computer and found the settings to be CORRECT.

Code:

Server: imap.aol.com.
Port: 993.
Security: SSL/TLS.
Username: Your full email address.
Password: Your password.

I have used these setting. They do not work.

Code:

Outgoing Server – SMTP
Server: smtp.aol.com
Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS
Username: Your full email address.
Password: Your password.

Have you tried this as sending server as Dalchina wrote;

Code:

Outgoing Server – SMTP
Server: smtp.aol.com
Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS
Username: Your full email address.
Password: Your password.

If it's not working try smtp.gmail.com. It works for me. I have many different incoming servers (accounts) But smtp.gmail.com as sending server. It has worked for years. Btw. I have Thunderbird 102.8.0, 32 bit version.

I will try that but I looked back at what he said

Code:

Server: imap.aol.com.
Port: 993.

Thunderbird does not allow SMTP for outgoing email. Only available are IMAP and POP3

FAILED AGAIN.

Code:

If it's not working try smtp.gmail.com.

So I need to scrap using AOL on Thunderbired even though an expert was able to get it working on windows 11 no problems. Or do you say use use gmail to access AOL?

Was that last post for me?

For a refresh. An agent at easy space successfully was able to set up my email account on his windows 11 computer with the same version of Thunderbird. We have checked and double checked the settings. It doesn’t work on my windows 10 with same version of Thunderbird. I thought I should mention this point.

The original settings as per the instructions
