Try changing your login authentication method to "Oauth2" - I just did that with My gmail account using these directions: https://www.supertechcrew.com/thunderbird-oauth2-gmail/

You will have to enable cookies in TB preferences, I discovered.

Otherwise, I got my Gmail account secured relatively easily doing all of those steps listed. I hope this helps YOU, also.

This is driving me NUTS! I am getting my email and I can send my email but I keep getting notification that login failed. And then I get the notification that the IMAP server does not seem to support encrypted...
