I can't use Gmail in Thunderbird. I get the error "Login to server imap.googlemail.com with username failed" Gmail works on other devices, but not on my PC windows/10. I have set up a POP3 account with the same name and it works in Thunderbird, but my imap account will not accept my password. Keeps asking for new password. What can I do??
