add account fails
I am trying to add a gmail email account to TB running under windows 10. I do the following: 1) go to menu select account settings 2)go to account options and select add email account 3) enter the email account details and click CONTINUE. configuration is found in mozilla isp database IMAP selected. click DONE. 4) A google sign in page appears withe the correct email address filled in. click NEXT.
nothing happens
I do the above on a linux laptop and it works fine. I can log into the gmail using the web interface to so the email address and password are correct.

What version of Thunderbird?
orignally 45.something but I updated to 52.2.1 (32 bit) and still have the problem.
Any error message?
No error messages. Nothing happens at all, the google display just sits there. After I get fed up with waiting (minutes), when I close the google display down I get the password error message on the TB display.
It is almost as if clicking on the button is not recognized.
A lot of factors have to be right to add a gmail account. Are cookies enabled for google? Check under Tools/Options/Privacy.

Well I tried again to see if I could get more information and it worked this time. I have no idea why as I did not do anything different or change any settings...
Thanks for the help anyway.
