    I thought the problem was at Google. And that password I left simple 
since your system uses it so much. When this problem appeared I thought 
it was a change at Google.

    But it turns out it was a change in Thunderbird which for someone 
else to do that they need my Ubuntu password which is NOT simple.

    So I now think it was a normal problem the Thunderbird software. It 
just revered to old numbers.
