Out of nowhere Thunderbird asked for my log-in details when I started it, I couldn't recall my password for gmail so I reset it. It now will let me add an IMAP account which works fine but when I try to add a POP3 account with the same account login details I get the the above error message!

I have tried several times with the same result..... surely the account username, email and password are the same for gmail IMAP and POP3?

For POP you'll need to 'allow less secure apps' in your Google settings. https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6009563
