On Win XP
Thunderbird v 38.5.0 Do I need to update ?

Removed gmail account from thunderbird.

Used firefox to go to GMail directly and logged in to verify new
password. It allowed access.

I logged out of gmail in firefox.

Back at Thunderbird and adding gmail account.
User name and password entered.

Did its thing then opened a window
Enter Credentials for (account name).

None of the links or buttons on this windows works. Nothing happns when
clicking any of them.


Try re-installing the same version. You probably broke
something when you "removed gmail".

I expected this to open the gmail windows to say I am allowed to use
thunderbird.


Thunderbird is an email client. If it's opening a webpage you
might have malware.
FWIW, I'm using Thunderbird v 2.0.0.x, and it works perfectly
with all 3 mail providers (gmail is one of them).

How do I fix this to use in thunderbird?
