Thunderbird wants Yahoo login but my email is through Gmail
For the past few months, my Gmail arrives in Thunderbird, but Thunderbird does not allow me to send any emails. Instead, a Yahoo login pops up. I only use Gmail so I do not understand why this is suddenly happening. I have checked my settings and cannot find the issue. Any ideas? Here are shots of my settings:

Well, since you have just one account and it's IMAP, my suggestion is to remove the account completely, and start over.

Same things happen in Troubleshooting mode.
I always keep Thunderbird up to date - I am on version 102.1.2. The trouble began about 2.5 months ago.

Thunderbird does not allow me to send in Troubleshoot mode either.
I always keep Thunderbird up to date - am on version 102.1.2 - trouble began 2.5 months ago about the time Google announced the change in authentication.
You might check tools>accountsettings>account to confirm that the account is linked to the gmail smtp server. Check also the left sidebar of tools>accountsettings for any possible extra account. I would also suggest clicking help>moretroubleshootinginformation and scroll down to Profile Folder, click 'Open Folder' and then browse Mail folder and Imapmail folder to see if there is a file with Yahoo in the name (or any other file, other than your gmail account file).
David - nothing found with Yahoo on or in it. Any other ideas?

BRAVO - I thought I had done the account removal before, but I guess not thoroughly enough. Thanks for your help.
You're very welcome.
