Suddenly, when I "Get Messages" I am getting a popup for three of my eleven gmail accounts. See attached.

I saw elsewhere about OAuth2 and cookies and I think things are right with them.

I have gone through "settings" and I think all my gmail accounts are set up the same in TB. But it is difficult to check all the settings for sure.

So, why only 3 of 11?

Is it something on the gmail account side? If so, there are a ton of possibilities. Would anyone have a hint about what could be the problem?

Note, this popup is really obnoxious. I can have a full page browser window open and this thing pops up over that, blocking my view of the browser window.

I'm thinking it is time to dump gmail.

Thanks In Advance, Pete

That dialog is an "in product" specific for oauth, so it needs your response.

Unless you are funnelling gmail through a local server (via apache or whatever) then hopefully https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/automatic-conversion-google-mail-accounts-oauth20 should be sufficient instructions (it's referened from https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/91.8.0/releasenotes/ )

I had cookies enabled but I followed the instructions to enable google account cookies as an exception. We will have to see if this works. I'll report back in a few days whether good or bad.
