It looks like somehow your 2nd GMail account has lost its configuration:
Mail and News Accounts
- account1:
- INCOMING: account1, , (imap) imap.gmail.com:993, SSL, OAuth2
- OUTGOING: , smtp.gmail.com:465, SSL, OAuth2, true
- account2:
- INCOMING: account2, , (none) Local Folders, plain, passwordCleartext
- account3:
- INCOMING: account3, , (imap) mail.webfaction.com:143, alwaysSTARTTLS, passwordCleartext
- OUTGOING: , smtp.webfaction.com:587, alwaysSTARTTLS, passwordEncrypted, true
I'd suggest removing it completely and creating it again.
This link is useful to better understand how GMail can be used in Thunderbird.
