Gyula, in duplicate bug #1854440, you wrote that version 60.3.0 in
Ubuntu 20.04 isn't working. There is no such version in Ubuntu 20.04. If
you're using the official Ubuntu repositories and have updated your
system, you should have version 68.2.2
(https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunderbird/1:68.2.2+build1-0ubuntu1).

  [SRU] Authentication constantly re-requested for Google

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  A recent server-side change with google e-mail accounts (gmail) means that 
thunderbird consistently fails to authenticate, prompting for the user's e-mail 
address and password over and over, without ever succeeding.
  This has been fixed upstream and is tracked by 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1592407.

  
  [Test Case]

  In a clean environment, launch thunderbird and add an existing gmail account.
  Thunderbird should auto-detect all the relevant parameters, and then an 
external webview should pop up to prompt for your e-mail address (it's not 
auto-filled, that's a separate issue that's also known upstream) and your 
password. After filling this in and authorizing thunderbird to access your 
e-mails, your account should be set up and thunderbird should start fetching 
e-mails from your inbox. Instead it fails to authenticate and displays the 
authentication pop up again.

  [Regression Potential]

  Low, as this is an official upstream point release that addresses only this 
regression (see 
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/60.9.1/releasenotes/).
  The fix is minimal and self-contained 
(https://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr60/rev/56b6d1b50647143c25efe642b37b02f65f9c4343),
 if the bug is indeed confirmed to be fixed then it should be safe.

  
  [Original Bug Description]

  When I use Thunderbird, it keeps failing to connect with my Google
  (Gmail) accounts. It keeps asking for authentication via the web
  portal, I seem to successfully give Thunderbird authentication, but no
  messages come in and, soon afterwards, the web portal comes up asking
  for login again.

  I am using OAuth2 (so this ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-
  US/questions/1201406 ) doesn't help.
