You have installed AppArmor, have you checked that AppArmor is not preventing a successful connection to GMail somehow? Maybe it's OAuth2 related, there was some fixing happen after the release of 60.0. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1176399 How you can debug this is written in the bug report you have referenced. A more intensive possibility is to work wth strace to see what TB os doing on the filesystem. E.g. $ strace /usr/lib/thunderbird/thunderbird And also nice to know is if the issue is also happen with the packages from Mozilla. Regards Carsten
