Thunderbird just updated to this new Nebula version and now my Gmail account isn't working. I have other accounts setup and they seem to still work (Outlook based) It sits there trying to sync my calendar or I get Checking mail server capabilities. It also doesn't shutdown when I exit Thunderbird. What is going on?

I have to correct what I said previously. None of my accounts are now working correctly. Just sits there and the bottom status line states it's checking things or trying to sync, etc. How can I get my email client working again? Why would you release a product that hasn't been fully tested ?

It looks like any email account that requires OAuth2 isn't working now. I have one account that doesn't use OAuth2 and it works. What is the work around?

Solved the issue. Just needed to find the saved passwords under Settings and Privacy & Security. I removed ALL the passwords. Exited Thunderbird and made sure it was closed in the Task Manager. Then opened Thunderbird and entered the passwords again as they were requested.
