I have two apps that I use to backup my SMS messages.
One is SMS Backup +.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&hl=en_US&gl=US
I've been using it since January 2016.
2 days ago, it stopped backing up.
If I view the logs, it says authentication failed.
I have tried re-entering my password for my email within the app, but it didn't help.
I haven't changed my password for my email in a few months anyways.
I am connecting to an AOL account.
This site says the IMAP server is export.imap.aol.com:

This site says the IMAP server is imap.aol.com:
https://help.aol.com/articles/how-do-i-use-other-email-applications-to-send-and-receive-my-aol-mail
I have been using export.imap.aol.com for several years.
I did try the other one, imap.aol.com, but I get the same authentication error.
Any ideas?
I am using one more app to backup my SMS messages, SMS Backup And Restore:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en_US&gl=US
This one backups them up to my Google Drive.
But I like having both apps, as a safeguard.
There was one time 1 - 2 years ago where SMS Backup + also stopped working, for several days. It eventually started working on its own again.
