[gentoo-user] Thunderbird 45.3.0 won't send messages

Has something changed on T'bird and this is why it stopped sending messages?  
Clicking on send just sits there with no sign that the client is trying to 
connect to the server.

Have you noticed the same?

Thanks, this means something may have changed on Gmail and my T'bird settings 
are not working anymore.

I was having problems a while back until I switched to OAuth2 for the
GMail servers. The thing is you have to set OAuth2 separately for
incoming *and* outgoing mail.

Thanks Dan, the user assured me they had enabled 'unsafe client applications' 
or some such setting on the web interface of their Google/Gmail account 
security settings, which means that it should also be able to do vanilla 
IMAP4/SMTP with 'Normal Password'.  I'll ask them to check again in case 
Google has changed this.  However, T'bird can still received messages in the 
Inbox, it is the SMTP which is not working.  :-/

Either way, I also tried SSL/TLS with OAuth2 and it is still not working.

You can still do SMTP and IMAP without OAuth2. Use application passwords, and 
create an application password for your Thunderbird use. This is how I'm using 
GMail+IMAP+SMTP with Akonadi.
