Sending email gmail IMAP account lags randomly
I have some Gmail Business account set in Thunderbird (91.6 version).
Randomly, when they send an email, it appears the sending bar that hangs until they clic on cancel icon. After that appears the window "Sending the message failed. Authentication not with outgoing server (SMTP) smtp.gmail.com. Check the password and verify the "Authentication Method" in Account Settings | Outgoing mail server (SMTP)". If I close and reopen Thunderbird it works properly and sends the email for many hours
The SMTP server settings are: Server Name: smtp.gmail.com Port: 465 Connection: SSL Authentication: OAuth2
In the file log I found this error:

I already created a new profile, deleting all the password saved, disabled index and copy message to the folder..... I also clean cache and disable proxy connection. Thank you for your support

Make sure you do allow cookies for https://accounts.google.com in Thunderbird.
Yes i do.
I had to enable two factor authentication and create a password for the app. After that, modifying the authentication method in "Normal Password", it works properly. It seems a problem in Oauth2 authentication.
