Got an email from AOL saying I needed to update the way I access my compuserve mail via Thunderbird to make it more secure. So followed the instructions to get Thunderbird to automagically re-set-up my compuserve email account using OAuth2 authentication.

Well it set something up automagically but when I try to log-in I get this screen.

Not what I wanted. I don’t have a Yahoo Account and don’t want one. I just want to collect my mail via pop as I always did.

Not sure why it is set up to use pop.mail.yahoo.com rather than an aol mail server.

Any one else run into this problem?
