Hi, I have this problem since a few days with my gmail account (worked for a few years without problems). Every time I try to sync for new emails I get the error: "the mail server for account ...@gmail.com responded: System error (failure).

I get the same error on both of my devices (windows and linux), I tried to remove and re-add my gmail but it didn't help.

I have another gmail account synced with thunderbird but doesn't have the problem.

Any help would be much appreciated.

They didn't help since I looked into the settings of my 2 gmail accounts regarding OAuth and Ports, they are the same, but only 1 account has problem syncing emails.
