When using Thunderbird (with gmail) just tell the wizard your mail address and lets the automatics figure out the rest. Actually Thunderbird knows how to configure gmail (has a database) without you telling it how, and uses the best known settings. The result will be imap and oauth2. > Why do I need to enable in gmail "less secure apps"? What does this mean? Thunderbird in oauth2 mode does not need you enable in gmail configuration the misnamed "enable less secure apps". Other tools may need that setting. -- Cheers, Carlos.
