Dear Community I have had an gmail account on thunderbird for years. In/outbox etc details were still on thunderbird but when checking account details in Thunderbird all info was there as normal.... but.. in "View password"..there was no details at all for this gmail account - but were there for other accounts.
Went to the gmail app and tried login...my email and password are correct...login was ok. I deleted the gmail account from thunderbird and tried to to do "New, Email Account." and entered my gmail account details correctly and hit Done when green gmail 'configuration" is "found".
Then I get a google window to sign into my gmail email account - it has correct email address shown.. I enter correct password and get this message.
"400 Thats an error... The server cannot process the request because its malformed. It should not be retried. Thats all we know"
Thunderbird email setup then shows a yellow box that says "wrong configuration... etc"
Checked in gmail settings and imap is ticked - pop is not. Also checked Gmail "Connections to third party apps and services" and Thunderbird was enabled in April 2021.
Does someone have a fix for this?? or... where have I gone wrong?? Cheers M.
