"It says can not locate google password. I can send email out with no problem using gmail via Tbird."

I am sure what I am reading is not what you thought you said. If it is, I have no idea.

Thunderbird can not locate my gmail password. What is blocking it? I even uninstalled and reinstalled Thunderbird using same gmail user and same password. Still same. Using IMAP not POP on both.

I'm with Matt. I have trouble believing it did what you seem to say it did. I've never seen Thunderbird say it cannot "locate" a password.

You say you can't "email" using Thunderbird, then you tell us you can send. Which is it?
