Help me, As of yesterday, May 6, 2021, sending mail in Thunderbird via the GMAIL SMTP server stopped working, it reports an error that the connection time has expired. Where is the problem?

text message is: Failed to send message. The message could not be sent because the connection to the sending (SMTP) server smtp.gmail.com timed out. Please try again
