I cannot sigh in to Gmail pop3 account , it just quit working .
I have been using Thunderbird for many years, Monday the 15th it quit working for my gmail pop3 account , I don't recall anything updating and I didn't change anything . I then got a new password and tried to log in with no luck, works fine on imap but I cannot get signed in for some reason . What can I do to restore my pop3 service ?

Make sure you do 'Allow less secure apps'. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563
Less secure app didn't work , this is on my laptop computer not a phone or tablet, everything has worked fine till monday evening last e-mail I got was from google security checkup and hasn't worked since . This is the error I get Sending of password for user wimpfarm@gmail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: Web login required: https://support.google.com/mail/answer/78754 Thanks.
and when you "web login" what do gmail tell you. They routimely "block" pop access simply so they can show you some message in your browser. I have no doubt that the Google security email is most relevant here. do you understand what it is telling you?
I can log in no trouble on this and other computers and my phone through the web but can't do anything through pop3 and thunderbird
But do any of those alternatives use POP?
