Cannot select OAuth when configuring an account manually
I want to setup my Gmail account that my school hosts. It has a unique domain name and Thunderbird does not recognize it as a Gmail account, but I'm sure it is. Here's what I did to solve the problem (yet no luck) First, I tried to setup with manual IMAP configuraiton by following the steps on LifeWire Article and Google Support, but it says that credentials that I'm using is wrong. It did detect the Gmail mail server though. Next, I tried to pretend that I'm going to login as a user I've created ON GOOGLE so thunderbird can recognize it as Gmail Account, then logged in with my school credential, and it failed. Probably because I've entered fake Gmail address in the form. It's very inconvenient that I cannot setup mail accounts with OAuth authentication method manually.
Do you have a walkaround for this?

That Lifewire article assumed the account was already working. Does your school publish email setup instructions? Do you have thunderbird set to accept cookies in privacy&Security pane? I suggest omitting password until a Google prompt appears. Does school have a website? can you post a screenshot of your incoming server settings? Thank you.
