not sending messages
I have four gmail accounts on Thunderbird, everything was working good but today suddenly I cannot send any messages from any account, it only shows "connecting to smtp.googlemail.com" but nothing happens. I can receive email normally and even see the email that I just sent directly from google. But no sending at all. All suggested troubleshooting was done, everything seems to be ok, please help me

i dont have any of those...however i just tried to send email and it is working again, from all 4 accounts. I guess it was a temporary error from google. Although I did not find an article about it

What Troubleshooting have you done?
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cannot-send-messages Verify your SMTP outgoing email settings Verify the correct SMTP Server is being used Verify that your outgoing email is not being blocked Delete SMTP Password Reset SMTP Password All that...and nothing worked :/

OUTGOING: smtp.googlemail.com:465, SSL, passwordEncrypted
I don't think 'passwordEncrypted' is correct. Change that to 'Normal Password' in your account settings.
today suddenly I cannot send any messages
Are you certain you haven't made any changes?
i changed it to normal, but it is the same, no messages can't be sent :/ i did not make any changes, yesterday the last thing to do was to send around 60 emails one at a time, but that was it
are you using an Application password for Thunderbird? Google two factor authentication? is access for less secure applications allowed?
