Login to server imap.gmail.com with username xxx@xx failed.
I can not connect my T-bird with my Gmail-IMAP setup. Had to change my Gmail-password today due to security alert from Google. And also strengthen my password-handling and now I'm not able to log in with T-bird. Keep getting error message according to above. I'd like to have the stronger security level on my Gmail-login - how can I connect with my T-bird? Thank you for quick help! Henrik

As said above, you'll have to do that for the outgoing server as well.

Please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button , then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.
Hi Henrik You will need to change the password in Tbird to match your new Gmail password. If you have not been able to do that yet, try this method to clear your old password and prompt for the new one: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Setting_and_changing_email_passwords You may also find this piece about Thunderbird and Gmail login and authentication helpful. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_Gmail_with_Thunderbird_and_Mozilla_Suite Good luck, Agnes

Change the 'Authentication method' to 'OAuth2' in your Thunderbird account settings for the Gmail account. Do this for both, incoming, and outgoing server.
Is there any difference?
Hello Christ 1, made the changes and then all incoming mails where collected to my T-bird. But when trying to send emails I get errormessage again please see enclosed jpg-file. Henrik

Sorry for late feed back Christ1. Yes I found one more place to change in outgoing server settings and now it's working. Thank you. Henrik
