If an account administrator changes a gmail password and that gmail account is also logged in via Thunderbird, can that account still be accessed via TB?

My gmail password has been changed by admin but I can still access the inbox etc via TB, still logged in with what I assume is my old password.

I can see all folders except the 'trash' is there any way I can still view this?

Corrupt ex boss has changed the password and I need to access trash to find emails for my protection moving forward.

You can probably still see old messages that were there before the change. Have you seen any messages that have arrived since?

I would copy everything you still have in this account to the Local Folders account, ASAP, whilst it remains available to you.
