Hope someone can help Thunderbird 91.5.1 on windows 10, without changing any settings, started refusing to connect to gmail server. "Could not connect to server pop.gmail.com. Connection was refused" Looked into it and thought I had found the solution, changed authentication to OAuth2 (for POP and SMTP), and went through the pop-up sign-in screen to allow thunderbird access to gmail. Worked ok for a couple of days, but now its reverted to blanket refusal again. Any suggestions? Really sick of having to sign into webmail. Thanks! Topher

BTW have tried with firewalls all off, and thunderbird whitelisted in VPN (also turned off) and all proxy settings off. Still no dice.
