Version: 45.8.0

Update to the latest version. OAuth2 is broken in versions before 52. https://www.mozilla.org/thunderbird/

INCOMING: account3, , (imap) imap.gmail.com:993, SSL, passwordCleartext

OAuth2 authentication is not used. Change 'Authentication type' to 'OAuth2' in your account settings once you're running the latest version. This goes for both, incoming, and outgoing server.
