Can't send from gmail account Thunderbird

I can receive messages to my gmail account on Thunderbird but not send them.

The error message "Enter your password for ***@gmail.com on smtp.googlemail.com" comes up, even after I have reentered the password. The password is correct and allows me to log into the account using a web browser.

Authentication method is set to OAuth2. Changing from Normal password to OAuth2 fixed the problem of not being able to receive messages to that account but did not fix not being able to send from it.

Suggestions about how to fix this problem would be appreciated.

Thanks

Rick

Just in case anyone locates this question and is looking for the complete process I've provided it below.

Thunderbird has made alterations so now both POP and IMAP accounts can use OAuth2 for gmail.

Set up to allow cookies:

  • Select 'Menu app icon' > 'Preferences' > 'Privacy & Security ' Under 'Web Content'
  • Select 'Accept cookies from sites'

It may also be a good idea to make exception:

These are the necessary changes to Account Settings:

  • Right click on gmail pop/imap account name in Folder Pane and select 'Settings'

This opens the Account Settings in new tab The pop/imap account name should be selected Look bottom right for Outgoing Server (SMTP)

  • Click on 'Edit Server _SMTP' button
  • Set Authentication Method : OAuth2
  • Click on OK

Now set the incoming authentication:

  • select 'Server Settings' for gmail account
  • Set Authentication Method : OAuth2

Exit Thunderbird and allow time for background processes to complete then start Thunderbird and enter email address and normal password at prompt.

Have to change authentication method on SMTP server separately, preferences/account setting/Edit SMTP server (near bottom of page).
