Greetings - I received an e-mail in my gmail account today (I use Thunderbird as my desktop mail client as the primary way I access my e-mail) that says the following:

As of May 30, to help keep your account secure, Google will no longer support the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. Instead, you’ll need to sign in using Sign in with Google or other more secure technologies, like OAuth 2.0. Learn more

So my question is, after May 30, does that mean I won't be able to use Thunderbird anymore as my e-mail client with my gmail account? Thanks very much.

Using OAUTH2 has been an option for several years and now it will soon be mandatory for Gmail. TB has that option and it's rather straightforward. You need to change authorization by going to tools>account settings>server settings and changing authentication method to OAUTH2 and then going to tools>preferences>privacy&security and remove the gmail passwords - highlight account, rightclick and remove password. After that, shut down TB and restart. You will be presented with a menu to log into gmail to grant access to TB. Once done, life should resume.

I tried that suggestion over and over with no success. Then I discovered you have to accept cookies in TB in order for it to work. :)
