Ghost gmail account still asks for authentication on thunderbird startup

more options

I had an email account from my university that used gmail in the past but just recently disabled the email and migrated away from it.

However, when I removed that email account from thunderbird and restart the app, the oauth dialogue to authenticate the disabled account each time. It would also keep opening that dialogue every 30 minutes. Any help is appreciated.

Check If you have any adressbook or calendar from that server and deleted them.

Thanks! It was the addressbook that's still connected to the disabled account.
