Mozilla imap syncronization
I'm having an email issue with Thunderbird on Debian 9.8. I cannot retrieve my mail. OAuth fails to connect, and I also cannot connect via normal password. The error log says 'user canceled master password entry' and then the next line reads 'Couldn't decrypt string'. I have everything setup properly on the email side (gmail; imap enabled and 'allow less secure apps to connect' is enabled). Password is correct as is the user name. I do not have this issue on Windows. Thunderbird 60.5.1 (64-bit). Here is a gist of the error log: https://gist.github.com/janagyjr/4cdec97eb7ecff2cee830c23e8ef6512

The error log says 'user canceled master password entry'
Did you cancel the master password prompt?
That log, I should mention, is from when I try to use normal password, not OAuth. I'd really like the OAuth issue resolved more than anything else.
This all sounds a bit odd. You may try the procedure to reset the master password and see if that makes a difference. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Master_password#Resetting_the_master_password
Note, this would also remove any account passwords Thunderbird has remembered, so you'd need to enter the account password the next time it's needed.
For IMAP and SMTP servers set the 'Authentication type' to 'OAuth2' in your Thunderbird account settings. If your account is POP, stick with 'Normal Password'. In addition you'll need to 'Allow less secure apps' in your Google settings.
You haven't provided any information about the version of Thunderbird you're using. So make sure you're on the latest release version which is currently 60.6.0.
