I am moving from an telia.com to a gmail.com mail account using a thunderbird mail client. Has been working fine until last evening. When my client could not access gmail anymore. The problem is displayed with a padlock o n the mail account.

The padlock indicates the account uses a secure connection. It would have been there since you added the account to Thunderbird.
