When I launched Tbird this morning, I got a message, "account.google.com needs you to confirm access again to help syncing with your account. Username: [redacted]@gmail.com" When I click OK, it says Tbird wants access to be able to access and edit/download/delete my contacts and calendars, which access I'm not willing to grant. So when I click Cancel, it says Sign-in couldn't be completed, and now I'm unable to send email. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? In dire straits----- Dave

Grant access, simple as that. If it helps in any way, you did grant access before, since you were able to access your account via Thunderbird.

Thanks, but I am pretty sure I've never allowed Tb to "permanently delete" anything! Is there no other way to get past this? Thanks again for your prompt reply! Dave

You'll have to give permission for Thunderbird to access your Google account if you want to use Thunderbird for this. There is no way around this.
