Tried to install Thunderbird, after installing see by surprise that my 30 years old emailadres (simonroos@zeepost.nl) is already registered and that Thunderbird is trying to make contact with it, tried to delete it, without succes, that was yesterday. Today I deleted all, installed Thunderbird again, using my main gmail address and when it did not work also another gmail address and get same warning: Login to server not possible, probably wrong configuration, wrong username or password. Checking and checking again, no errors found. Thank you! Best regards, Simon Roos

Remove the password during setup. That often has been the issue in my experience.

Thank you David for very fast reaction, removed the password during setup and there is no progress at all. A stand still without asking for a password.

Clear out the account completely and close and restart thunderbird. My guess is you may have hit the space bar for password. I just attempted to set up the account and had no problems.
