thunderbird won't let me authorize my gmail smtp server password
Hi,
I've successfully installed Thunderbird on several computers and have had no problem authorizing the application to send mail from my gmail account.
However, on a recent install I am now getting this attached intercept page when I try to send an email. And when I click "Next" or "More Options" the page is unresponsive. Eventually Thunderbird says the SMTP server timed out and the email send fails.
On previous installs, I was able to click "Next", enter my gmail password and then Thunderbird would be able to send email via the SMTP server. But now I can't. How do I get past this intercept page and authorize the application to send mail?
(PS: I have Mozilla Thunderbird listed an authorized application in Gmail...)
Thanks!
Dave

I'm not sure if the image uploaded last time so here it is again. BTW, I'm using Thunderbird 52.0.1 (32bit) on Windows 7 (64).
It is broke. Ver 52,1 due to be released sometime next week is supposed to fix it. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1157498

Workaround: If anyone needs a workaround for any reason as I did, here is one option to consider to get your gmail working in Thunderbird without the patch.
First in your gmail account you will need to have “Allow less secure apps” turned on. You can always turn this back off when you have OAuth working again. Here is the link to the setting. Next, In Thunderbird > account settings > server settings > Change the Authentication method from “OAuth” to “Normal Password” Last change the SMTP server settings to normal as well (to be able to send out email).
This got me back into my email when I can’t get the latest patch for Thunderbird easily.
