Why do I keep having to give my password? xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com
Every two or three days a window appears asking for my password for xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com . I didn't have to do this when I used xxx@fairbrook1.orangehome.co.uk I no longer use Orange as they are withdrawing their service.

I have a password for xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com which I have supplied to you on several occasions at your request.
I'm not sure who you mean with 'you'. In case it isn't obvious, your password goes to the Google server, and not to Thunderbird, or Mozilla.
If you keep having to ask me these vague questions, we are not going to find the answer in the near future.
If you're unable or unwilling to answer a simple question I'm afraid you're right.

using ccleaner? It deletes the tokens that are used for gmail oAuth2.0 logins when it is run.
I do not know what ccleaner is, nor do I know what gmail oAuth2.0 logins is/are. Whatever they are, they do not explain why I have to keep providing my password every-so-often to use Thunderbird when I never had to do so in the past. I should be grateful if you would give me a clear reason/explanation, but, preferably, do something to stop the necessity of keep having to provide my password.
Thank you

Are you using a master password? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password

By "master password" I assume that you are suggesting that I use one password for everything, but that is not the case. I have a password for xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com which I have supplied to you on several occasions at your request. I am trying to find out why you insist on my using it for what seems to be no particular reason. It is a nuisance and seems unnecessary. If you keep having to ask me these vague questions, we are not going to find the answer in the near future. You must have a reason for requesting it, what is that reason. If you don't know why you keep asking me for my password, presumably there isn't a necessity for it, so please arrange for these password requests to be stopped.
