I just subscribed to 2-stage authentication for GMail. Thunderbird is no longer able to login to GMail servers. Is there any way to configure Thunderbird to use 2-stage authentication?

See the section 'Two step verification' here. It explains how you will have to either use OAuth authentication or create an app password.
