I have been using Thunderbird for years with Gmail and two other Outlook accounts. Since the last update I have been unable to access my Gmail account and have been getting multiple error messages. I tried updating the IMAP settings as instructed by Google but this did not work. Name Thunderbird Version 78.14.0 Build ID 20210901192859 Distribution ID Update Folder C:\ProgramData\Mozilla\updates\8216C80C92C4E828 Update History Update Channel release User Agent Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.14.0 OS Windows_NT 10.0 Application Binary C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe

I finally solved the issues by going to "Gmail Help" and changing the server settings (again...) Now Gmail is slowly backing up and compacting the folders. At least I have access again! Something changed with Gmail and Thunderbird settings to cause this in the last update.

"Unable to connect to your IMAP server. You may have exceeded the number of attempts..." there's more but I am unable to get a screen shot or copy before the message disappears...

I am able to get into Gmail online and on my phone app so the trouble isn't there.

The old settings wouldn't even let me connect at all.
