I am trying to connect a gmail account to Thunderbird..... but i keep getting this error message ...400. That’s an error.

The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know. I believe all setting are correct and my password for the gmail account is the same as my google account spent many hours on this lol

Please share your server settings. I have also found that I have better success with gmail setups by omitting the password during the setup process.

Just tried by omitting the password... same error message. 

server settings.... Incoming..... port 993.. SSL/TLS... OAuth2

Outgoing....... Port 465.... SSL/TLS....OAuth2

I have the same password for both google and gmail now ....

I tried without the password but got the same error message.... have cleared cache .... re logged in etc.... still no luck. I would have thought that it would be such an easy thing to do to add another account.... the set up is so straight forward

I fixed this with a clue from https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-and-gmail I did the things below, retried the Add Mail Account, and voila!
