I'm still locked out of gmail from TBird.Â* I really don't get it.Â* So
today, I uninstalled TBird, downloaded a fresh TBird and, even though
I erased all of my passwords in TBird, it never askes for a password.
Weird!Â* I was going to enable OAuth2 but, as I said, it never askes
for a password or key.Â* Any ideas?

An update on my problem.Â* As I said previously, I have 4 PCs at home
that are having the same problems.Â* I can't use client based email
programs, namely Thunderbird, but I also tried the W10 Email client
program, with similar results.Â* I called Frontier, my provider and of
course, it was not their problem.Â* Yesterday I took my laptop to my
church, where they have a different provider with a fiber directly to
the building.Â* I turned on the laptop, opened Thunderbird and it
immediately started accessing all of my gmails from 2 different
accounts.Â* I was also able to send emails.Â* Talking to the Frontier
techs, they continued to blame Thunderbird.Â* I told them they were not
listening to me as it worked on another ISP's service and I also had
the same problem on W10 email client.Â* After many dropped calls and
false starts, they were going to bump it to the next tier, but it
could take up to 72 hours.Â* I don't believe it will happen without me
squawking again.Â* But, today I took my laptop to a friend's house that
is close by, which also uses Frontier, but on a different remote.
Thunderbird again worked perfectly.Â* So, it looks to me like the
problem is in my remote, DSLM.Â* I'm going to try going to a neighbor's
house, who is on the same remote as me, and see what happens.Â* No
wonder Frontier has filed for some type of bankruptsy protection!
More later, as it happens.


Did you try rebooting your router? Just power cycle it.

With my ISP I usually HAVE to re-boot my modem/router every few days.
When you can't connect on the internet, you look at the modem, ah, red
light, power down, count to 5 and then repower.
