TB does not fully set up, sign in to my IEEE Gmail acct.
Computer is a recent install of Linux Mint 18.2 64 bit, TB ver 52.4.0 (64-bit). Gmail is from the IEEE organization, thus my email address is <myname>@ieee.org. Various attempts gave varying types of incomplete or no set up at all. TB never was able to do the automatic install so all attempts wer manual, using the settings seen at a support.google webpage, "Read Gmail messages on other email clients using IMAP". First attempts: got the ieee acct seen in TB but only the Inbox, and nothing came to TB from Gmail; tapping the Inbox asked for my password. Later attempts: TB set up screen would not complete, saying username or password were incorrect. Later attempt: saw the 'partial', nonfunctional ieee acct in TB, plus an emai from Google saying they blocked a sign-in attempt due to the app being not secure or is out of date. It had a link, to allow less secure apps to sign-in, which was done, yet no success. After the first few attempts, I noticed that deleting the ieee.org, when it did show in TB, did not delete the Gmail files/folders int the TB .default folder, so they were manually deleted, but again, no success for the next install attempts.

Did you try following their support wizard? https://supportcenter.ieee.org/app/answers/detail/a_id/2473/~/can-i-use-any-mail-client-to-access-my-ieee-google-apps-email%3F

Thank you for the 2 links. I used the 2nd link, as did the IEEE support people telling me. I/we tried both .gmail.com and .googlemail.com, without success. Unsaid in the link: we chose the "standard" password method; did not try OAuth2, that MozillaZine talks about (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Gmail). Perhaps, after making a copy of just the ImapMail and Mail folders in the ---.default folder, an uninstall, reinstall of TB, copy back into ---.default the 2 folders, may work? Note that my Gmail acct has both IMAP and POP3.
Don't use POP3 or all your email will be downloaded (and normally removed) from your server.
Normally I don't even specify a password when using the TB email wizard, I just skip the test and oAuth asks for proper permissions and this works.
Use the Password Editor extension and completely remove any and all GMail credentials. Remove the account (even removing data files) and re-try.

OAuth2 authentication is what's recommended for Gmail IMAP and SMTP. OAuth2 is not supported for Gmail POP. With OAuth2 you don't need to "Allow less secure apps". For 'Normal Password' authentication you do need to "Allow less secure apps".
an uninstall, reinstall of TB ... may work?
You'll be wasting your time.
