My emails are not coming through Thunderbird. I changed my password on my AOL mail account and I use Thunderbird as my email client. I use the new password I created for my AOL and it won't work. I can see all of my emails on AOL Mail just fine but prefer to store them on Thunderbird.

Go to your Account Settings and change the Authentication method to OAuth2 for the incoming and outgoing server (imap.aol.com on 993 or pop.aol.com on 995, and smtp.aol.com on 465), remove the passwords from Saved Passwords in Preferences, accept cookies in Preferences/Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth2 window when prompted.
