Erradically Thunderbird may or may not connect to iMap and then may or may not deliver email. (gmail)
All of a sudden when I try to send email from Thunderbird client thru the gmail iMap server it either:
a) tries to connect and eventually times out b) connects to smtp.gmail.com but times out not being able to deliver c) connects to smtp.gmail.com and delivers the email but can't save the email in the Sent folder d) does everything correctly
All of these scenarios happen without making any changes to the setup.
My settings are: Description [ a user created text field ] Server Name: [smtp.gmail.com] Port: either 587 or 465. I try both without much difference Connection security: [SSL/TLS] Authentication method:[OAuth2] User Name: [myname]
My internet research suggested using port 587 for SSL/TLS. But it doesn't seem to help. Need help!!!!! Thanks
