Post May 2022, Google does not allow access to less secure apps for Gmail accounts. So OAuth is needed. If you use app passwords supplied by Google, Thunderbird version 91.8.0 and newer ones will work with Gmail. Gmail accounts cannot work with Thunderbird 31 and older versions as they aren\u2019t compatible with Google\u2019s OAuth.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Start_Receiving_Emails_in_Thunderbird\"><\/span>Start Receiving Emails in Thunderbird!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Now you won\u2019t feel annoyed when you notice <strong>Thunderbird not receiving emails<\/strong>.
