After changing my gmail password and using the new password to access gmail with TB, the login fails for both "Get" and "Send". Message presented: Sending of password for user lalaustex@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Username and password not accepted. This is for a pop server account, not IMAP. Running TB 78.7.1 All help is greatly appreciated
