Remove the password. That defeats the special password Gmail uses for your thunderbird.

Check that the incoming server is imap.gmail.com (not imap.google.com or imap.googlemail.com) on 993, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = email address. For the outgoing: smtp.gmail.com on 465, SSL/TLS, OAuth2 authentication, User Name = email address. Remove the entries from Saved Passwords in Settings/Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow TB access.
