Google services not working: OAuth2 failure when using Google Account (Fixed in TB 68.2.1) - Affects IMAP accounts and 3rd-party add-on 'Provider for Google Calendar' (check https. Also, the Thunderbird ecosystem is a lot smaller than the Firefox one, so chances are much greater of a particular specialized add-on being the only one that. I think support for OAuth2 is hard-coded in Thunderbird for each known supported OAuth2-provider. Every OAuth2 provider has its own clientSecret, which aren't really secret, because you can find them in the source. I don't know why they are hard-coded and not in the mail provider.

As I said originally Telus mail is now 'powered by Google'. My
