Default Still locked out of gmail from client app

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?

Just use oauth2. Don't argue.

Did you delete your old profile and start fresh?

You'll be better off buying a new machine and ask the shop owner to set
it up for you. Go to PC World when they open their doors after 13th
April 2020 when all the Covid-19 patients would have died by then.

He's not arguing; He's just a person of below par intelligence and you
are not helping him to over come the block. You're Columbian drug
dealer living illegally in Span and so hopefully Covid-19 will catch you
when authorities failed to do it by law.

As others have said, uninstalling TB leaves profile(s) behind, start it
with

thunderbird.exe -p

if you want to delete profiles, or create a blank one and set it as default.

Yup, I forgot to do that. I'll try again today. Thanks.

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

Or in your current profile, just delete the account

Let us know what happens.

Two weeks ago, I had a user with a profile with three
eMail accounts in it. Whenever she sent an email from
the first account, a copy would show up in the first
account's sent bin (as it should) and the second
account's sent bin as well. I thought the eMail service
was doing it. Removing and reinstall the first
account fixed it.

You do mean to delete the account in TBird, not in gmail itself, right?

OK, here's another curious thing. I am fixing up a PC for a friend. He
wanted TBird. I installed it, but it wouldn't ask for a password on a
gmail account. Could google be blocking on the basis of IP address?

It could be that you just don't know how to setup Thunderbird correctly
and allow it to setup access to gmail automatically. Have you heard of
YouTube where users like yours truly upload videos for people like you.
I suggest go to the Youtube's main page or even click on this link to
find useful basic videos:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=setup+email+in+thunderbird

After watching a couple of them, you can come back here and thank
youtube website and in particular Google for creating such a wonderful
website!!
