Issues with AOL server

I am unable to access any folders in my AOL account other than the inbox. No other email accounts have this issue. When I click on one of the subfolders, I receive this message: The mail server responded: [TRYCREATE] SELECT error - Folder does not exist or server encountered an error.

I am able to see and use these folders when I go to AOL's website and access my email that way. AOL was, of course, no help. I'm having the same issue with my iPhone as well.

Same issue here. I have 9 custom folders to sort my emails. I get this error on 6 of them, but not the last 3. I am running Thunderbird 64.0b1
