Bug Description
this is a KNOWN problem as I have seen similar question on the Internet and it appears that something screwed up with Thunderbird in recent updates with their OAuth2 authentication method code. I am running Thunderbird 60.9.0 which appears to be the latest available for Ubuntu (Kubuntu) 16.04 LTS

This problem is really unexpected and has caused me a lot of grief. When I got a message from a identity protection service that my gmail account MAY have been compromised, I changed my gmail password. Then as soon as I tried to get mail via thunderbird, I got imap authentication errors.
