Attempts to use Thunderbird to read my gmail have been failing for the last several months.
When Thunderbird tries to get mail from my account, instead a Google help web page (https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/32050?hl=en) pops up in a window that appears to be a Thunderbird window titled, "Enter credentials for [my gmail account] on imap.gmail.com". That page has a button to sign in with my Google account, but hitting that button simply brings up the same Google help web page.
I've tried deleting my gmail account from Thunderbird and re-adding that account as a new account. That just gets me to the same page.
The web page refers to Troubleshoot issues with Google Accounts > Clear cache & cookies
It appears to be focused on accessing Gmail from a browser such as Firefox. I don't understand how to translate that advice to doing something with Thunderbird.
I have the impression that the problem has to do with a GMail having moved to a different version of the IMAP protocol.
Right now, I've done an awkward work-around it by going into GMail on a browser and setting it to forward all my gmail to another email account of mine that does work with Thunderbird. However, I'm getting ready to just give up and move all my mail to a different mailer.
Has anyone got a fix for this?
