Been getting this for the last 2 days. Will not import my emails. I have been using Tbird for several years with no issues. I just started getting this message below and mail will not import. I have cleaned all my files in both Tbird and on the gmail page and this has not helpped.

The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials.

Gmail pop server says something is wrong with your server settings. In Account Settings > Server Settings for the gmail account.

Right hand side should say:

  • Server Type: POP mail server
  • Server name : pop.gmail.com
  • Port: 995
  • User name: full gmail email address of account
  • Connection Securiyt: SSL/TLS
  • Authentication method: OAuth2

Please check all the above is correct.

As this is a gmail account: have you by any chance recently altered a password via the webmail account OR set up two factor authentication which requires the use of an app generated password?
