Google application specific password issues
I have been using TBird both at home and work for couple of weeks. Last week I had to update the google calendar provider to version 1.02. Since then, I have been having problems with passwords on my work machine since then. I do use Google App Specific passwords. TBird keeps asking for a different password for IMAP (incoming) and SMTP (Outgoing). I have generated and entered passwords multiple times and also uninstalled and reinstalled TBird. I'm not having this problem on my home machine. Both machines are Win 8 64-Bit ultimate. I only have a single password on my home machine. I have tried both a single and dual password for work. Suggestions?

You should only need one app specific password for both incoming and smtp. When applying a new password, remove the old stored password for mailbox and smtp and then when you get mail or send it would ask for the password. Enter password and select the option for password manager to remember the passwords.
Please note that you only need an Application Specific Password if you use a device such as a phone to access gmail and therefore set up the 2 step verification process. If you never use anything other than your computer to access emails then you do not need 2 step verification and therefore do not need Application Specific password. But you may need to specify that you use a less secure apps. See info: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en
