Maybe Outlook.com for email and Startpage.com for a search engine?

Well, I've been using Thunderbird for many years, and I have not had this problem before with this account.
Thunderbird has worked flawlessly.
I have about 8 Gmail accounts.
I rarely sign into Gmail and when I do, I always sign out.
I do not understand what a Search Engine has to do with Email and an Email Client.
This is something new and seems to be only for one particular account.
Thunderbird collects all my messages and deletes the message in the online account.
I have Gmail, GMX, Hotmail accounts, to name a few, and it is only this one Gmail account that has suddenly become a problem.
Working for years.

This personifies ‘Google One’.

I was having this, I had to tinker with the settings until it stopped. It's been months since I've seen this, so I think I licked it.

 

OK Johnwill, you have my attention.

 

Some of those gray cells have died, but I recall it had to do with getting OAuth2 working correctly.

When you stay signed in to your account, you can use Google services soon as you open them. For example, you can quickly check your email in Gmail or see your past searches in Chrome. Stay signed in

Thanks Spy.
I tried those and I have not solved the problem.

?

 

LOL
I tried a few searches and did not find anything close to my issue.
In any event, what the searches did find was in a language that only an IT person could understand.

 

I got it.
As Johnwill mentioned in post 7, "it had to do with getting OAuth2 working correctly.

I decided to log in at the Popup.
It then gave a new Popup and asked if I would like to give Thunderbird permission to access my Gmail account.
Google then sent me a whole bunch of Emails.
First asking me to confirm that I did indeed give Thunderbird permission and then telling me that "there was a sign in to my account from a new device."
I confirmed everything and all is well.
I must have missed this account when I did the OAuth2 setup on the other accounts months ago and completely forgot what I did.

Thanks for all the input from many.
Joe

 

Glad you got it sorted
