If you want to send info to my address that I can see on the PC then send it to ... @centurylink.net OR you can call me at ...

Check that the incoming server is pop.gmail.com or imap.gmail.com, and check that the outgoing is smtp.gmail.com. Set the authentication method to OAuth2 for both servers. Accept cookies in TB Preferences/Privacy & Security, and in the same section remove passwords from Saved Passwords. Then, restart TB and enter the current, working account (not app) password in the OAuth window to allow TB access.
