I'm still locked out of gmail from TBird. I really don't get it. 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! I was going to enable OAuth2 but, as I said, it never askes
for a password or key. Any ideas?


Hi Art,

Reinstalling Thunderbird does not alter
your existing profile. Any boo-boos in
that will remain.

See my response to Alex's question for a fix
to your problem.

If that does not work, you can always start
Thunderbird's profile manager with "Thunderbird -P"
and create a new profile and see it that works.
Don't do this if you are not using imap.
Thunderbird should automatically use OAuth2
and create new tokens for you in the new profile

-T


Or in your current profile, just delete the account
and recreate it.

Good point, I'll try that next.
