Ok, I've read loads of forum posts about this problem and tried all the measures I could (no 2 step authentication, less secure apps on, deleted account and tried to set it up again without success).

I have three gmail account through TB client and one of them just will not let me in anymore. I've logged into the account just fine in Firefox and I've been through account recovery twice with Gmail and still it will not let me in. As soon as I try to login to this account it takes me through to gmail login and asks for my password, then tells me 'gmail cannot verify this account at this time.' My other two accounts work just fine. It's totally doing my head in! If anyone can help I would most eternally grateful.

Thanks.

Since you set 'Authentication type' to 'OAuth2' already, there is no need to allow less secure apps. Make sure to use your main account password, and not an app password you may have created.
