Been using Thunderbird on my windows PC and Laptop "forever". Since Dec 16, I cannot get my gmail, although my calendar (stored on google servers) works fine. I've gone through your troubleshooting steps (cookies, javascript, etc) and no fix.

My google password contains special characters + and *. Is it possible one of those characters are not passing through from the Thunderbird login prompt to google?

Any other suggestions?

Thank you, Frank Murray fjmurraytx@gmail.com

Hello

'cannot get my gmail' is not very descriptive - is the OAuth dialog failing if you delete the oauth lines about Gmail in your password manager ? if yes, is there an error message to screenshot ?
