I have been receiving emails for my butlerfamilia@aol.com account on my pc, via Thunderbird, and on my ipad. Now both devices are saying the password is invalid. I have gone to the AOL website and changed the password and can receive emails at mail.aol.com. I have gone back to thunderbird and folllowed instructions to change the pw by deleting in settings and restarting Thunderbird and entering the new pw that AOL Mail recognises. But Thunderbird still says the pw is not valid. Any suggestions ?

Do you have the authentication method set to OAuth2 for the incoming and outgoing? If not, change it to OAuth2, remove the entries for the account from Saved Passwords in Settings, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow access.
