I had a hard disk crash and I now have the hardware working again. I installed T-Bird 102.12.0 (Win 10) and after a few days of frustration I moved on to 102.13.0 but had the same results. I finally got my gmail (pop) account working to receive mail, but I can't get outgoing mail (smtp) to work. After reading a bunch of threads the fix looks like easy to fix: set the Authorization to AOth 2 BUT that option does NOT show up in the Menu! What now???

It is available, but only if the server name is smtp.gmail.com. The googlemail servers from the beta phase of gmail are not registered as supporting oauth in Thunderbird's database. As they are not used, except by folk doing manual entries, there is no real need to "fix" it.

I know it might sound trite, but all server names on the internet are supposed to be lower case. Historically the case is just reset to lower case if you don't set it that way. Perhaps a new "feature" is that automatic translation is gone.
