Q: Continually getting notification that AOL password is not accepted. If I go directly to AOL it accepts my password. This just started with upgrade to ElCapitan.

OSX ELCAPITAN 10.11.2 Since this upgrade, I continue to get message that mail needs password. I know this password is good as I can sign on directly to AOL, but the iMac has random trouble getting the mail. Sometimes it takes the password and brings in a block of mail, sometimes not.

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X El Capitan (10.11.2)
