Problems with AOL login through xNotifier but not direct on web
I am having problems with XNotifier accessing AOL to check on new mail. I am not having trouble accessing my account when I go directly to AOL via Firefox or via my Android phone. When setting up the account in XNotifier it asks for a field that doesn't show up on the AOL signin page - It asks for a Locale field. Is this why it doesn't work? What do I put into the Locale field?
In general XNotifier does everything I need and works well. I certainly appreciate the add on!

If you use English site,
If you use English site, leave it as blank.
Else you can set 'fr', 'en-bg' according to your preferred language.

I guess it's not the locale - still won't access AOL mail
I guess the locale field isn't what is keeping XNotifier from accessing my AOL email account. Any other reason you can come up with why it won't check the AOL account?

I think I know how to "fix" it
I don't know why this happens, but if I put in a shortcut name then it works just fine. It doesn't work if you don't have a shortcut name. Go figure! Thanks for your help. I'm using the last plug in you sent me. With the short name, it's fine.

Same Problem
What is a "shortcut name" and how do I enter it?

Old 'thread'
These posts are way old and may not be relevant to the latest problems at all.
I have no idea what the shortcut name is, unless he means entering something in for the Alias in X-N's Options, Aol account, Alias. I'm just guessing and I don't see why that would help.
If we see more people with the problem, the developer will likely provide an update to fix it.
