Each time I open Thunderbird the window requesting my email password keeps popping up. It has no effect, however. I can just close it and continue receiving my mails. It is just mighty annoying.

The password prompt is for Google Contacts. See https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1064153

The developer may have abandoned the Google Contacts add-on. So there most likely will not be an update anytime soon. I'd therefore disable the add-on in Add-On manager for the time being to avoid the password prompts in the first place.

The prompt comes for Gmail AND Google Contacts - forgot to say that. Abandoning Google Contacts seems indeed to solve this problem, thanks for that hint. Without it Thunderbirds becomes pretty useless, however, as its built-in Contacts manager is a disaster.

The lack of updates of essential add-ons is a major weakness of Thunderbird anyway. There should perhaps be more effot to offer more built-in functions to replace them, if Thunderbird wants to stay alive.
