IMAP gmail will get set up using Authentication Method: OAuth2 It requires that cookies are enabled in order for this to work, so make sure cookies are enabled:

  • Select 'Menu app icon' > 'Options/Preferences'
  • In 'Options/Preferences' left Pane select 'Privacy & Security'
  • Select checkbox 'Accept cookies from sites'


Uninstalling and reinstalling Thunderbird rarely resolves issues as there is often nothing wrong with the program itself. Most issues are in the Profile and usually an incorrect setting.
