AOL email address

What’s wrong with AOL mail? It’s been fine for me as a free e-mail provider. Clean webmail interface, app passwords for IMAP and SMTP (Though Thunderbird can also do OAuth2, apparently.

Edit 3: Latest update fixed this in nightly, I haven’t checked beta.

Newest release of Firefox Nightly on Android also still seems to connect.

It’s either a phone or a radio/speaker. Sometimes a portable CD player with aux cable.
