When configuring a tablet, something linked this to my Thunderbird account (h....@gmail.com). Now every time I open Thunderbird on my laptop this pops up.

How do I go about un-linking this so it opens correctly ?

Thank you and have a blessed day.

what you have put up is an oAth authentication dialog. This is what is used to access gmail using IMAP as you are doing. So I strongly suggest you actually complete the sequence to authenticate for your gmail account. Completing the first authentication correctly and allowing Thunderbird access to your email will automatically remove the authentication failure message.

Thank you. Did that a couple of times and it still continues to popup. There has to be a solution to this problem that will remove the link that's causing this problem.

Thank you again and have a blessed day. Robert
