hi there

suddenly a problem occurred

Sending of password to user did not succeed.
Mail server pop gmail com responded: username and password not accepted mail server pop gmail com responded: username and password not accepted

I searched for solutions.

Suddenly, I can not access my gmail account either.

The problem has occurred on my backup, laptop computer that I recently upgraded to ver 78.7.1

I know I am entering the correct password

thank you for your help

If you access your gmail account via webmail, does your password work there?

[petergo]

thank you cg

YES, gmail account working no problems

I did change the password a day or so ago because received a security warning from google.

I also just completed an eSet full computer scan for anything bad, and nothing detected

thanks
cheers

Are you manually entering the password for that Gmail account or was it saved for automatic response by Thunderbird?

[petergo]

hi Dan

I changed the password in the goggle account, and it was saved, I guess.
I am able to open gmail, without doing anything extra.

With TB, I entered the new password, and all was fine the first day or so.
Today I am getting the error.

I tried to click on retry, that didnt work.
Next I typed in the password, and checked the box for password manager to remember it,
and now I get the error

thnx
Dan
