I had an unauthorized attempt to login to my Gmail account which was blocked. Gmail wanted me to change my Google password, which I did. Gmail now works fine, but Thunderbird now asks for:

"Enter your password for -- [email protected]@imap.gmail.com:" to which I have

    1. Put in the new password several times and gets rejected each time, and
    2. I deleted the old password, as well as the new password, that Thunderbird recorded, several times  (The only way to change a password saved by the password manager is to delete it, get prompted for the new password the next time it needs it, and then tell it again to save that password. You can delete the password using Tools -> Options -> Privacy -> Passwords -> View Saved Passwords by selecting the password and then pressing the Remove button).  I have been prompted for the new 

password.


I keep getting the generated tiny reply at the bottom right of my screen" Thunderbird Alert from account [email protected]: Application specific password required: http://support.google.com/accounts/bin/answer=185833 (Failure).

This question is similar to the gentleman having problems in the Uk/Carribean, but Gmail did not generate me a new password, I did.

Any new suggestions welcome!

You apparently enabled 2-factor authentication for your Google account. You'll need to create a new application specific password for Thunderbird.

There is no point using another email client or delete the account.
