TB will test the connection as the profile is being created. Was that okay? Is this POP or IMAP? Have you changed the Gmail settings to allow for an offline email client? https://support.google.com/mail/answer/7104828?hl=en

Thanks for your help, I did try that with no luck. I think the problem is with the Google server. I have given up on this project for now.
