unable to log in at server. probably wrong configureation, user or password
So I've tried every single option on google top 2 pages. I really want someone who can log on my PC with teamviewer or something and just fix this for me. It's been 8 hours already. I can't get it to work. I've seen all these useless outdated videos! The links I seen online are no longer working or the same options to follow. I am just so out of it!
I add manage to add it and got this error when trying to send and none of my stuff loaded! "the message could not be sent because the connection to outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com was lost in the middle of the transaction. try again."
Every link is "here is your solution" after step 3 it's no longer there or doesn't work at all. And this allowing less apps to use? It's just google and thunderbird! I can't even find the "allowing less secure app" thing to work! I just can't find it or understand it. I can't.
The videos are already outdated and when you click and do these things, it's no longer there!
If you have every single method, go for it! Should I of deleted my files in the folder when removing from Thunderbird maybe? IS this the bug or glitch? Or is this the reason? I've changed the password like 6 times already thinking it needs to be more complex etc.
I am losing so much time on this.

This forum is support, no one will be logging into your computer to do anything. So at thins point I have you can't get your account to set up.
But before that error does the message tell you setting found?
Then some more questions, because what has to happen depends on choices you have previously made.
Do you use two factor authentication with gmail. That is you start to log in and then Google sends you a text message with a pin to complete the process? Are you planning on creating an IMAP or POP account. What anti virs do you use? I spent three hours managing to disable enough on Nortons360 to allow the account set up wizard to run for a friend. Anti virus program are the single greatest hurdle anyone has to jump to set up a simple mail account. Simply because they are web focused and make a hash of most non web network traffic.
Well that sucks I would of paid them if they could help me out. Cause spending so much time on it today I am losing my mind.
I just want this BS DONE WITH! I am not a computer guy who sits on IT 24/7, to fix computer stuff. I am not an IT expert at all. I just want it fixed! I don't know if this is a BUG or what not. So some kind of a pro can do it.
I am super busy so I would just rather pay someone $50 to do it and get it done with. Cause 8 hours and this is stopping my business.
I don't have norton or any of those. It's all turned off.
Turned this on and off many times already, two factor authentication. Would you like to see?
https://www.google.com/settings/security/lessecureapps This doesn't get that nice fancy stuff.
Just an error!
Here we go.
When I try to put outgoing at port 587 and Re-test it gives me STARTTLS.
I give up, no tech guys online or some site with a service like this?
