Hello, When I try to add my Gmail account into thunderbird, it goes this way : - enter my id and PWD - continue : IMAP and SMTP servers are automatically detected - continue : I am redirected to a google sign in window where my id is already filled. - continue : instead of asking my PWD, Google sends a 400 bad request error.

How can I add my Gmail address?

Thank you. Juliette

Hi Juliette, This is a server side error on Google's side. Can you please try again after some time?

Have you tried to enable your cookies in your Thunderbird (Privacy & Security settings) Probably it will be enough to store it for accounts.google.com

Have a fantastic day!
