I  am  resurrecting this old thread as after a long period of access to
my  GMAIL  account  via  TB!  I bought a "smartphone" It told me some
unauthorized  access  had  been  attempted  from outside my area and to
change  the  password.  I did this and whilst i can access the account
via  the web, TB! has now stopped sending or receiving may via GMAIL. I
checked that the allow less secure apps was still active. Every time I
try and connect via TB! I get the box in the second image. My settings
are as before, save for the change of password which I have re entered
several  times  with  great  care.  Any ideas please? the "smartphone"
connects fine. Thanks! Oh, and I have put up an image of the log, too,
the third image.

OK,  thanks  for the explanation re the GMAIL setting, I'll leave well
alone,  and  re  the later versions of TB! You have been most helpful,
thanks again.

Thanks  for  all the well detailed replies, I am happy to say I am now
able  to  read  and write e-mail to my GMAIL account from within TB! I
set  the GMAIL account to allow access to insecure apps, but I may try
and set it to OFF again and see if it is vital to connectivity. Thanks
again everyone!

As  an aside, I am using an old V 5.8.10 TB!. I am quite happy with it
save for one thing that really bugs me. If I am reading a message in a
pre  view  pane  and  a  new  message  arrives  in  that  folder, I am
immediately  slung  out of it and the message is marked read. Does the
current version have this, to me, annoying trait?

All the best.
