Thunderbird Just Stopped Downloading from Google IMAP
Thanks in advance for any assistance, much appreciated.
Running Thunderbird 75.8.0 on Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 OS Build 19042.630
Using IMAP to download emails from Google Gmail:
Server settings: Server Name: imap.gmail.com Port: 993 Connection Security: SSL/TLS Authentication Method: OAuth2
Confirmed IMAP enable on Gmail and permission for Thunderbird to a access the Gmail account.
Details:
Have been using Thunderbird with Gmail for years with no problem. Just today it stopped downloading emails. Been trying several solutions on Mozilla support but no luck. Tried disabling firewall, also no change.

Just an update I incorrectly gave my version of Thunderbird as 75.8.0 where I meant 78.5.0. Looks like a bug with Thunderbird at this stage. Anyone else with any ideas?
Given that you (probably) didn't update Thunderbird on 11/30 ...
If you are using ESET/NOD32 security/AV then probability is very high it is causing your problems. According to their forums, you should temporarily disable SSL until they solve the problem per https://support.eset.com/en/kb3126-disable-ssl-filtering-in-eset-windows-products?ref=esf - the problem is being reported by dozens of users https://forum.eset.com/topic/26517-problems-with-thunderbird-and-imaps/ https://forum.eset.com/discover/

Just an update:
To confirm that I changed the configuration item "security.tls.version.min" from 3 to 1 as per other posts.
No change.
Error Console:

I have the same issue with a bunch of other accounts. Thunderbird (75.8.0 on Windows 10 Pro) just stopped downloading mails. It seems like it is trying to connect but to no avail.
To confirm that I also tried the following:
Changed the configuration item "security.tls.version.min" from 3 to 1.
No change, still does not down load emails.
I use Thunderbird and recommend it to all of my email users, and have done for well over 10 years. I got a call from a user this evening who was reporting the same issue, suddenly Thunderbird stopped receiving mail. He is running version 78.5.0 (32-bit).
After two hours of troubleshooting, what I found from turning on authentication debugging on the server was that Thunderbird stopped sending the username. I have tried deleting the account from Thunderbird and re-creating it, but that is not possible because Thunderbird won't save the account unless it gets a successful login. I considered deleting and re-installing Thunderbird, but that is not an option because he uses pop and would lose all old email. I tried both pop and imap with the same results.
I set up a copy of his account on my local copy of Thunderbird (same version) and it appears to work fine.
Just an update I incorrectly gave my version of Thunderbird as 75.8.0 where I meant 78.5.0.
Looks like a bug with Thunderbird at this stage. Anyone else with any ideas?
