Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password. Existing gmail, need to change thunderbird password but where to do that?
Hello there - I just changed my gmail password. I deleted the existing Thunderbird account for that gmail and created a new one. I accept the imap discovery and get the login error because it appears to be using my old gmail password. How do I get thunderbird to allow me to update the password to send for authentication? Thank you!!

If your account is configured correctly for Gmail you don't get to enter your password unless Google specifically decide you need to. Thunderbird does not hold your password for a correctly configured Gmail account.
Why did you delete your expiating account in Thunderbird? I can think of nothing you could have done that was less helpful to yourself or anyone trying to offer you support. I think you need to take the time to explain what prompted your behaviors because we need to work out what the original problem was that is now exacerbated by not having an account to work with.
