   I had the same thing in my older TB (52.1.0) happen to me this week. It popped   
   up a browser window in TB with the google login screen. First I couldn't get   
   past this, untill I enabled "accept all cookies" in a TB setting. But after   
   that and successfull login TB still wouldn't show the new mail in my gmail   
   account.   
      
   In the end I gave up and removed the gmail account from TB. As I'm in the   
   proces of moving everything over to a new desktop computer with a newer TB,   
   that seems to access the gmail account just fine. I have no intention to fix   
   it in the older TB.

   Same here, I can access my gmail account just fine in webmail or in my gmail   
   client on my android phone.

   This was the first time it happend to me. Maybe google changed something in   
   their authentication procedure. And as TB already has my account details   
   (email address / password) in it's config the popup browser window with the   
   login screen is totally unnecessary. Login/connect top the imap server should   
   be automatic and transparent from TB.   
      
   Bye, Wilfred.
