I can no longer log on to aol to read my e-mail, it has been working fine for many months but now when I click "get messages" I get "Login to server imap.aol.com failed." If I then click retry I get another dialouge which says "server [email protected] has disconnected. the server may have gone down or there may be a network problem". Ihave tried the following :- 1 Restored profile from backup. 2 Deleted profile and created new one. I know my password is ok because I can log on using the aol browser using it and get access to my e-mail that way but this is not ideal. Should I try a complete re-install of Thunderbird ? Any help would be gratefully recieved. Best Regards Alan Easn
