Cannot Access GMAIL Account
When trying to setup TB to access my Gmail account, it continually shows that the username or password is not correct. I have disabled 2-step verification and set the account to use less secure apps in Gmail. Below is the troubleshooting information.

Try to set 'Authentication method' to 'OAuth2' when running the New Account wizard. Note, you'll need to update to Thunderbird 38.0.1 first.

Can you post a screenshot with the settings for Gmail you were trying? http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-create-screenshot-my-problem
And IMAP is enabled on my Gmail account.
