Collecting gmail pop messages from gmail

Hi Really need some help please.

Running TB latest version 115.11.0 on Win 10. Multiple gmail and other accounts, both POP and IMAP.

Following a catastrophic loss of accounts and messages, I made a fresh TB install then I restored from a previously saved profile from a month ago.

Accounts and folders with messages all now appear.

With one POP gmail account, the inbox and sent folders are stuck at last month's position. I expected the last month's messages to be downloaded as soon as I log into TB, but I'm not able to Get Messages.

My TB log in to collect gmail messages is rejected with this message - The STAT command did not succeed. Error getting message number and sizes. Mail server pop.gmail.com responded: [AUTH] Invalid credentials.

I have checked the account settings server address, and password is set to 0Auth2.

I have changed the gmail password on the gmail website (browser is Firefox) - which is accessed without problem, but only incoming mails are visible, my outgoing mails should be on my PC.

Every time I get the "enter new password" dialog I enter the password that gets me into gmail's on-line website - it is rejected with the STAT message.

I cannot send or receive gmail messages through TB - how can I force gmail to let TB access my emails?

Chosen solution

Solution found, although the reason is obscure.

Following another, similar question answered by David, I simply went into TB password manager and deleted the saved password for the gmail account.

When I then clicked "get messages" I was prompted to identify myself with gmail with the normal gmail password, and lo! messages arrived and I can now access gmail through TB, as I formerly did for many years.

I'm posting this so other folk having the same problem can solve it.
