I'm not able to send mail using any of gmail accounts. It works perfectly in Safe Mode.

When sending ail I'm getting following message: Sending of the message failed. The message could not be sent using Outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com for an unknown reason. Please verify that your Outgoing server (SMTP) settings are correct and try again.

Error code SEC_ERROR_LIBRARY_FAILURE

What flavor of Linux are you running? If you're using the distribution provided package of Thunderbird try the vanilla Thunderbird version from https://www.thunderbird.net/ instead.

Set 'Authentication method' to 'OAuth2' in your Thunderbird account settings for the Gmail account. That goes for both, incoming (IMAP) and outgoing server (SMTP).

Hi Christ1,

thanks for prompt reply. Unfortunately it not solved it. I still see the same message when sending mails from non-safe mode.

more options

Your first post shows several extensions are disabled. This is standard for safe mode, but are any enabled in normal mode? Enigmail and Provider for Google Calendar would be my first guess at what is preventing sending, if they are enabled in normal mode.

more options

No. This output is from normal mode. I disabled all extensions including language packs.

Is there any simple way to gather debugs from TB?

more options

You could look at the Error Console, under Tools/Developer Tools. As you can see from the safe mode article, there a number of features that are disabled. If add-ons aren't the cause, try enabling hardware acceleration in Edit/Preferences/Advanced/General, as it appears it's disabled in normal mode. Or, at the safe mode prompt, check 'Reset toolbars and Controls' and click 'Make changes and restart'. I'd be surprised if either of these steps fixes the problem of not sending, but they are two of the factors affected by safe mode.

more options

Enabling hardware acceleration and resetting toolbars not helped.

I found following error in error console.

Is there any easy way to refresh TB as FF?

An error occurred during a connection to smtp.gmail.com:587.

security library failure.

To refresh TB, create a new profile with Profile Manager and add the gmail account as before except with OAuth2 authentication. This appears to have cured a similar problem with Firefox - although I'm not sure why your TB works in safe mode.

If the account works in the new profile, you can transfer data from the old profile - but I recommend doing the bare minimum so as to not introduce the original, unknown source of the error.

I'm using fedora 30.

I ran vanilla version from tb.net (60.7.0 64bit which is the same as mine) and it start working. I tell you more, even one from fedora start working after that. I'm using the same old profile.

Don't know what happened but it is working now :)

Thank you a lot for your support!
