Error message: the server for gmail disconected
When sneding an email the error message:
server ......@gmail has disconected
I have been using thudnerbird for a long time and just did a complete re-instal after having problems with Thunderbird not remembering my pasword (2 way verification issue). After the re-install the server disconnection persevered.

It's possible too many connections are being cached. This is a restriction enforced notable on email providers like GMail.
- Go to Edit > Account Settings > Server Settings > Advanced > Maximum Number of server connections to cache for the problematic account
- If it's set to 5 set it to 4 or lower.
- If you have several devices (phone, tablet, other PCs, etc) connecting from the same location, try to set this number to a combined total of 4. This is a per-IP limitation of some servers
If this doesn't help, in the interest of getting you back to a normal working setup rapidly, you can go back to your previous Thunderbird version.
In Windows Thunderbird updates are automatic by default. To avoid similar situations in the future, you could change that and decide to have a more conservative approach to upgrades.
Before trying anything, make a backup of your current Thunderbird profile.
You can uninstall the current Thunderbird version via Control Panel > Programs and Features and reinstall a previous version, download it from here:
Click on the type for your OS. eg: If using Windows select 'win32' then select the language eg: en-GB = English british then download the .exe file
You can customize automatic updates behavior, however, it's under Tools > Options > Advanced > Update.
My suggestion would be to set it to Check for updates, but let me choose whether to install them., specially if you depend on email for critical / important business or personal matters.
