My Thunderbird account passwords in "saved Passwords" are the same as my gmail passwords but Thunderbird startup fails every time with the following message

"Sending of password for user account.name@googlemail.com did not succeed. Mail server pop.googlemail.com responded: Username and password not accepted."

I have tried deleting the passwords and re-entering them and I have also tried deleting the entries in the saved password file but nothing seems to help. I have also tried deleting the logins.json, key4.db and cert9.db files.

I have lots of emails and subdirectories and don't want to do anything that might risk those.

HELP please!

Brgds.

The issue is that Google requires a unique password for third-party applications, such as Thunderbird. you can get that by - changing your security authorization to Oauth2 (do this for the server settings and also for the Outgoing (SMTP) server - removing the password entries for the account (remove the entire entries) - checking to ensure that TB is set to accept cookies Google will then step you through the authentication process for your PC.
