Email Account not working suddenley

more options

I've had this email account on Thunderbird for years (along with others) via Gmail, and the others are still working but as of this morning this one won't, error message says: "400. That’s an error. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That’s all we know." The email is working fine still on my i-phone, just not on my Thunderbird mail client on my Mac desktop. I tried removing the email account from Thunderbird and re-adding it, but it won't re-add due to the same error message. What to do?

For more info. When I try to re-add the account now it says "Unable to log in at server. Probably wrong configuration, username or password." But again, it's working fine on my iphone so I don't think that's the problem.
