Keeps asking me to enter password for my aol account, have even changed password but it still does it
When I try to access my Firefox mail, it keeps asking me for a new password for imap/aol. I have even changed the password for this but it still says the login has failed and perhaps the server is down. But I have no problem logging in to aol mail from my browser. this is very irritating!
