Thunderbird asking for gmail password?

J_B

All of a sudden, Thunderbird won't accept the password for one of my gmail accounts. (the other one works fine)


I can access by webmail or on my phone (K9 Mail) but TB just flatly refuses to play!:(


I've tried most google suggestions - allow less secure apps, delete passwords in TB to name but two.


Has anyone else had this?
Will it be OK tomorrow perhaps???

I use TB on linux, but try looking in Tools/Developer Tools/Error Console - see if there is anything in there?

Reinstall TB?

Not saying this will do it but take a look at tools/accounts/ and server settings for the two accounts and changing the authentication method to "OAuth2".

Only have:-
Normal Password
Encrypted Password
Kerberos/GSAPPI
NTLM


EDIT - found it, but sadly, it made no difference!
