Hello all

Been using Gmail with POP3 settings for several years. About 2 weeks ago it stopped working. I have 2 step authentication enabled. Just stopped and cant recognize username and password. I am using Windows 11 Peo and latest version of Thunderbird. Any suggestions? Or should I remove it and use Outlook?

Thank you

Is the authentication method on the incoming and outgoing servers OAuth2? If not, change to that, remove the entries for the account from Saved Passwords in Settings/Privacy & Security, restart TB, enter the account password in the OAuth window to allow access.
