I did. but not worked.
BTW, I managed to fix it by enabling 2-Step Verification and then using app password.

Google has instructions for it`s mail system here. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/1085463?hl=en
thanks! it looks intimidating though when you're close to 71. i have no idea why at 10am thunderbird stopped downloading my gmail. it's been working for years .....
Because gmail declared everyone but themselves "less secure." You want to use their service, you play their rules. This applies to all email clients not just Thunderbird.
as of this morning it has fixed itself!
