Gmail quit after updating password in Gmail
Gmail was working with Oath2, but due to some security issues, I had to update my Google (& thus Gmail) password. It was on a different computer. Started Thunderbird up and it would not do anything with GMail. Some "expert" had said to go into passwords, delete them all for GMail, and it will prompt you for the password, etc. Well, it DID work for sending, but for receiving it just gives an error: "The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials." And just an "OK" response is possible.
What do I need to do to kick start it into working on downloads?

By the way, there is a password that shows up for today (first time I tried sending from TBird via Gmail since this started), with my username@gmail.com as the user name Another password is there with the date that I messed things up, with just my username. both of those were in the format 1// long complex alphanumeric. Yet another was there from 2022 with just a long alphanumeric string (was from before Oath2)
