Thunderbird automatically logs me onto my gmail account; I do not want my password saved anywhere. I need to delete the saved password each time. How to stop?
I want to be prompted for my password, every time I log into my Gmail account. But Thunderbird automatically saves my password to oauth://accounts.google.com ... and signs me in. So each time I need to delete the password from the security/passwords/Saved Logins screen. Is there some way to stop this automatic saving of the password?

What exactly do you want to happen? What is happening now that you don't want to happen?
You may get closer to what you want if you were to set up a Master Password. Then Thunderbird will not be able to connect to any servers until that Master Password is entered.

With OAuth2 no password is saved in Thunderbird. It is an authentication token which will expire at some point. Upon expiry you'll be prompted for the password again.
Thank you. So, the answer is that i must manually delete the "authentication token" each time, to prevent a valid login the next time Thunderbird is opened. I left the token overnight and it had not expired by the next day. Do you know how long the token is valid?

That sounds pretty silly. Perhaps you can explain what you're trying to achieve in the first place.
