OAuth2 and several Gmail accounts

I have four Gmail accounts linked to Thunderbird and have just had the message from Google about OAuth2 starting in May.

I have read I need to change my server incoming and outgoing settings passwords to OAuth2 instead of normal password.

When I then try to send an email it asks for my Google password which I enter and all is okay. However when I try to use another email account on Thunderbird it again asks for the google password for this account and when I go back to the first email account it hasn't remembered my google password again.

Also to make it even more difficult it won't let you copy and paste the password into the google account.

Have I missed something here and it should remember each google password?

I can't setup my email account on thunderbird . It says "Incoming server already exists.". when i go to the inbox it says that the name "... @bak.rr.com or password ... " is wrong . Enter new password. I have tried this on other email apps and it goes right to my email account. I like Thunderbird and have been using it for years . Please help me setup my account on this computer. This is a new computer.

Why is this Thunderbird version so confusing? Doesn't print, can't reply, etc w/o having this whole bunch of tech headers at beginning. What happened to the regular email, print, text, reply features.

Left Outlook due to it's craziness and deciding what to put as spam and in archive vs myself so again thought I'd try Thunderbird as it was a good email program. Now I see why it isn't listed any longer as a good free email program. I have 2 email programs I pay for - Protonmail VPN and Mailfence Entry level. Still learning how to have more than1 email address to use.

Thunderbird used to be very simple, user friendly, and quick. Now it's a mess even when trying to just reply to someeone's email. I get all these 'headers' first and when I select print, I get all this header garbage which wastes tons of paper. Can't find a way around it.

Please help or I'm going to have to dump thunderbird until it gets itself fixed!

I can now see that the question I have asked below has, in fact, been asked several times and so my question is superfluous and I would like to delete it. But I cannot figure out how to delete it and unclutter the database.

How do I delete my question?



I have been receiving the following warning from Google - "On 30 May, you may lose access to apps that are using less secure sign-in technology. To help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0. Learn more. What do you need to do?

Email software, like Outlook 2016 or earlier, has less secure access to your Gmail. Switch to Office 365, Outlook 2019 or newer, or any other email software where you can sign in using Sign in with Google."

I have no idea what this means in respect of my using Thunderbird to 'see' and allow me to read my emails in my GMail - it looks as if I may no longer be able to do so.

I followed the 'Learn More' and What do you need to do" links and I was just even more bamboozled. It tells me to use 'sign in with Google' - I'm sorry but that is meaningless to me - I've never 'signed-into-anything-with-Google'; I've only ever used an ID and a password, so I have no idea what I have to do to keep on using Thunderbird.

I think Thunderbird ought to broadcast to its users what the impact of this 'Google warning' will be to its users and provide clear instructions on what we Thunderbird users need to do (clearer anyway than Google's unintelligible garbage) in order to be able to continue to 'see and read' our Gmails.

Ive been using thunderbird for a long time. The last time it was updated I started having issues. For one, on the left of the screen that shows the folders, the inbox showed 2 inboxes. Today it shows 3 (?). The same with the junk folder, the trash folder and the outbox folder. I haven't shown any new mail in my box for several days. When I tried to retrieve it with my password it said that Mail server pop 3.bbtel responded:authentification failed. I called my support at my phone company. Everything checked out fine with them. The problem pointed to thunderbird. Something screwy is going on and I need help to revamp this whole thing.I would like to continue with thunderbird but I need help straightening out the issues Im having.

My Thunderbird email window now looks like the uploaded image. But it was different until a few days ago ... and I want to put things back the way they were.

See the Reply/Forward/Archive/Junk/Delete/More buttons across the middle of the window? Previously those were NOT there. Instead there was just an Edit button.

I don't want the Reply/Forward/Archive/Junk/Delete/More buttons. I want that Edit button.

Why has this changed? I have not updated Thunderbird. It was at v91.8.1 both before and after this unwanted button change.

The only thing I did recently was to add my new @icloud.com email. I can't see how that would cause the Edit button to disappear.

How can I turn things back to the way they were before?

Hi I sent an email with responses to questions changed to red text. However, when it arrived, all text was back to black. - Even shows black in my sent folder, which is when I realised there was an issue.

How do I solve this?

Windows 10 21H1 TB 91.8.1 32-bit

I love TB, but this is an issue, as is not being able to send images within an email - they always disappear when email sent. I have learnt to get round this by always pasting image into a Word doc & then attaching that, but it's a bit long winded

Any suggestions gratefully received Thanks
