Hello,

An account that I've had working properly for at least a year has suddenly stopped working in Thunderbird after I had to update the password (via gmail.com).

I'm on Windows 8.1, using the latest version of TB (68.11.0 32bit).

What happens is that when I try to download email to that account in TB, I am presented with a popup window that says "Enter credentials for ... on imap.gmail.com." No matter how many times I type in my email, I just get the same "enter your email" page endlessly. It does not even send me to the password page.

Any ideas on how I can debug / fix this please?

Thank you kindly
