Verizon email.

Since Verizon switched to AOL I have had email problems. I have two verizon.net addresses and one tampabay.rr.com. After finding help in the forum for creating a temporary app password I have been able to send Verizon email but not receive. The tampabay.rr.com works for sending and receiving. I have tried multiple times to fix but one of two things happen: dialog box says "sending email" but doesn't complete, or it continues to ask for a new password. AOL web mail works fine. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Dell laptop recently updated to windows 11, Thundebird 91.7.0 (64-bit).

configure the outgoing server using the server names and settings specified by AOL for AOL accounts. Except use your verizon email address as your user name. Authentication method will be oAuth2.0.

Once the oauth is set up and working you should have no further issues.

Thanks for the response. However, I don't have authentication option oAuth2.0, just these:

Normal Encrypted Kerberos/GSSAPI NTLM

Any suggestions?
