thunderbird no longer loads my gmail
Yesterday, Thunderbird stopped syncing to my Gmail account. The app opens but just hangs. I'm able to move between folders but nothing new is being received.
When I try to send an email, I get "Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent because the connection to Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.googlemail.com timed out. Try again."
I've had it installed for several years and have not recently changed my password or any setting. I tried installing the latest version but it didn't resolve the issue.

Have you checked into your Google account on the Web recently? It may be waiting for you to re-confirm your identity.

I can actively use my Gmail account. I even tried sending a few test emails to myself to make sure it was working.
I just tried to delete all accounts on the app, uninstall the app, reinstall the app and redo the gmail accounts. It says that my password isn't valid. I signed out of Gmail on my browser and signed back in and the same password works.
Narrowing down the possibilities - I tried setting up my account again and it still said my password wasn't valid. I reset my password and got the same reply. I then tried to set it up in Outlook and got the same error.
I have enabled IMAP in gmail at the website and there don't seem to be any other settings I can manipulate to enable/disable IMAP.
I'm kinda at the end of my rope on this.
Aaaand suddenly it works again.
