My gmail account has stopped synchronising with Thunderbird
My @googlemail.com account has been working in Thunderbird for years. Two days ago it stopped. No incoming e-mails and attempts to send e-mails from Thunderbird result in the outgoing server timing out. I can access direct at gmail.
Please note that my previous e-mail: alan.rhodes@talktalk.net is no longer available The replacement: alan-rhodes@outlook.com has been blocked by MS-AI (It didn't like a circulation e-mail to 60 members of my local history group) The only working e-mail I have is the current problem one: rhodes.alan1@googlemail.com

- What version of Thunderbird?
- What is your operating system?
- What anti-virus, Internet security, or VPN software do you use, if any?
- Please quote all error messages you see, precisely and in full. Screen shots would suffice.
- Does this still happen when you restart Thunderbird in Troubleshoot Mode? (see <Help | Troubleshoot Mode>.)
Confirm that you are using the correct server settings. Here are my working Gmail settings - how do they compare with yours?
Incoming Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2
SMTP Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2 User Name: <my email address>
If your incoming is a POP3 account, you would use these settings:
Incoming Server Type: POP Mail Server Incoming Server Name: pop.gmail.com Port: 995 User Name: <my email address> Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: OAuth2
Thanks so far, Lin. The Thunderbird Version: 153.4.0esr (64-bit) Release notes Thunderbird codename Meadow badge Thunderbird is up to date You are currently on the esr update channel. Thunderbird is designed by Mozilla, a global community working together to keep the Web open, public and accessible to all. OS - Windows 10 All settings appear to match yours. I have tried both OAuth2 and "password" authentification - currently it is on OAuth2 I have two Google passwords - one for the account and one for the e-mail address. Using the Chrome browser, I have checked both passwords as recorded on the Google Password Manager and I can access G-mail straight from the browser without any password input. From Thunderbird in both normal and troubleshooting modes, I have tried all the passwords but nothing works. One exception was the first time I tried the troubleshooting mode. I cannot remember what password I used (I'm 79 and back in the 1980s was managing quite happily with password-free DR-DOS 6 & Windows 3.7!). The In-box synced but I couldn't send e-mail - it no longer syncs. On 7 October, I noted a change of password in my manuscript record. This third possibility doesn't work either
