[Discuss] Using thunderbird for sending gmail

[wdc at mit.edu (Bill Cattey)]

I recently acted on email from Yahoo that said, "We're changing our 
authentication system, if you delete and re-create your Thunderbird 
Yahoo configuration it will do the right thing." It looks like 
re-creating the account to use oauth2 switched authentication systems.

I suspect the same thing is happening with gmail.
