Mozilla Thunderbird is the best email client for Windows, plus it is free. You can also configure the mail with online email clients such as Gmail, WebMail, etc. Another best part is that you can move your content to Thunderbird in EML format. 

Clearly not in my case as its flawed.

I think most of us agree that TB isn't the problem ..........

I don't agree , I am sure it's the new forum But that may be me since I would tell the forum users what is not working and what I have tried

Exactly. Tried the advice, advice didn't work. I wonder what the problem could possibly be ?

You still haven't answered the question: Are you using 2 factor authorisation for any of these Gmail accounts?

hubb

Two factor security has nothing to do with this. I can't remember if I have them both or not and no way of finding out. Again, my Win 10 email account accepts BOTH gmail accounts no problem, hence the problem is Thunderbird.

DoaM

You've already been shown how to find out!

I'm out.

Thunderbird uninstalled and gone. Useless. Going to carry on using the gmail apps in Google.

I fail to see reports of anybody else having the same problems as you with Thunderbird and Gmail.  Considering you ignored the parts about App passwords in this thread, that is probably what the issue was:
