I think the Linux Thunderbird is broken
installed Ubuntu 2404 on my acer laptop along with Thunderbird, added gmail email to Thunderbird and it fails to connect to google for their security check.
popup when trying to login to google to let Thunderbird access gmail.
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 think the linux Thunderbird is broken.
I have been through this google process with Thunderbird 3 times windows 10 and 11 and once on an android phone with no problems

yep, uninstalled the version that came with ubuntu now. installed the latest Thunderbird nightly version 128.0a1 form bugzilla and it works with gmail fine. Just have to open it from downloads folder, not visible in the apps. Cheers paul

Paul, these types of issues tend to be temporary - situations with the mail provider or your network connection.
Are you still having trouble?
