Hi i changed my google password, now can't access gmail using imap in Thunderbird. I don't get the "Enter Credentials" dialog box because it doesn't get that far, all I get is a popup:

"You've reached this page because we have detected that cookies are disabled in your browser. The page you attempted to load cannot display properly if cookies are disabled.

Please enable cookies and retry the operation or go back in your browser."

Considering google cant tell the difference between a car and a wheelie bin, is there some way I can just change the password in Thunderbird without having to interact with google first? I don't care if I have to tunnel through config files, anything that starts with support.google.com is to be avoided unless you have good medical insurance.

Thanks Andy

there is a cookies setting in Options / Privacy.

Cookies are required for the oAuth2.0 authorization used by default with Google.

Alternatively you can change the authentication method to password in account settings and enable the less secure apps setting on the Google web site so it will work. If you use two factor authentication you will also have to create an application password for Thunderbird to use with Google.

Ok, I tried to set it up as a new account, all went well tilll I tried to add it, but it won't let me, saying Incoming server already exists. - I removed the gmail account, it's not in the list any more, under preferences > passwords >saved passwords,

Went to edit >account settings, then deleted the gmail account, made a new one, found the cookies permission pref (in a mail app?????) set it to allow.

Finally got the stupid google signin page popup, filled in email, and none of the buttons do anything.

So now my only question is can I just put my password in the email program or has google taken over SMTP POP and IMAP standards.... Sorry, its a serious question, is email over and done with?

Thanks!

Thanks Matt. I'm just going to dump gmail... but that will clarify things if anyone else comes across it.
