I have an AOL email account that i can log into by visiting AOL.co.uk but i wish to set it up in Thunderbird with my other email accounts to keep them all in one place.

The problem i have is that when i attempt to do so i get a message that either my username or password is incorrect which i know is not the case as i use them to log into AOL.co.uk. I have double checked the IMAP settings on thunderbird and they seem to be correct.

I logged into AOL and had a look around thinking that u need to enable IMAP like u do for gmail but i cannot find any way of doing so for AOL.

Im wondering if anyone can help me

Thanks.
