I seem to have a problem setting up an email account with a new gmail address - I get sent to the Google Mail login screen

I have two gmail addresses that I manage using Thunderbird: one which I've had for ages and which works absolutely fine; the other is a new one which I just created today and which I'm having trouble configuring within Thunderbird.

I think I've set it up correctly and it receives emails OK but every time I try to send an email from this new account the Goggle Mail login screen is displayed in a "minimal" browser window; that is, no menu bar, no search bar, no minimise or other buttons. If I try to login using this screen I get a pretty message from Google saying "Oops cookies disabled" and it suggests I try to open a new browser window. There are a couple of problems with trying to do this:

1. I do already have cookies enabled 2. Because it is a "minimal" browser window, I can't open a new browser

Have you set it up with OAuth2 authentication? According to this article: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite Gmail will ask you to log in with cookies enabled in order to create a token to be used as a password. The alternative is to set Gmail to use a less secure app.

Thank you very much for your help. I can now send and receive after setting both IMAP and Outbound SMTP to use "Normal password".

One further, minor, query. The article mentions something about a message appearing until the Gmail account is 90 days old. Does this mean that in 90 days time I'll be able to change the settings to use OAuth2 ? (Just a query; I don't suppose I'll bother changing it.)

I'll never know why the "You haven't got cookies enabled" message was displayed when they were, but I don't really care.

I can't answer your query I'm afraid. I've had a Gmail account in Thunderbird for a couple of years now and I don't use OAuth2, and it's never complained -- so I leave it alone. I think I may have originally 'enabled less secure apps' but I can't remember!
