Enabling OAuth2 on existing GMail account (bug 1176773)
I've just upgraded to Thunderbird 38.0.1 from version 37.something, and I cannot seem to get OAuth2 to work with my existing GMail account.
My settings were as follows: Username: my.account@gmail.com Server: imap.google.com Port: 993 Security: SSL/TLS Authentication: Normal password
This worked and still works fine. However if I then change Autentication to OAuth2, save and restart Thunderbird, I get the following error message when trying to view my gmail folder: "The IMAP server my.account@gmail.com does not support the selected authentication method".
I've tried googling but I can't seem to find any word on how to configure OAuth2 with GMail beyond switching it on. So any ideas on how to get this working?

The server name must be imap.googlemail.com and smtp.googlemail.com respectively.

Where is this restriction documented? And why is this restriction in place?
Ok, seems there's something else going on. After switching to imap.googlemail.com, I got the OAuth dialog. However, I then switched back to imap.gmail.com, and I got the dialog there too...
I can no longer reproduce the original issue.
I filed a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176773
Seems the "known gmail" server names are hardcoded as you said, and for some weird reason this didn't include the standard imap.gmail.com server.
