[xubuntu-users] Thunderbird

[Karel P Coors]

Hi Klaus
Gmail considers Thunderbird the "less secure app"
So allowing "less secure apps" means that Thunderbird should accept Gmail.
It does not. I am now trying to change settings in Gmail and Thunderbird
from IMAP to SMTP. See if that helps. Great it's Friday. Else I would have
lost my patience hours ago 😀😀
