Who in the world had the bright idea of Thunderbird constantly asking permission to check my Gmail account?

I've read a lot and tried everything, but I can't stop it.

I discovered that my Gmail account is listed in the config file. If I delete all the references to my Gmail account in the config file, will that mess up Thunderbird?

Thanks in advance for help.

Thunderbird is not doing that, Google is. Thunderbird is only an agent.

Nyttig?

Google.

I discovered that my Gmail account is listed in the config file.

Which config file are you talking about?

Not knowing what are you talking about, it might, yes.

What you should do is remove any references to this Google account from all Thunderbird spaces where you may have added them, i.e. Mail, Address Book, Calendar, Chat…
