   Hello Wilfred!

   I was in an AnyDesk session with the computer last night. The     
   connection was slow as hell.  The person has a satellite     
   solution for internet.  Even a basic visit google.ca took     
   minutes.   
      
   After an hour poking around as best as I could and trying to     
   help her remember her gmail password, I called it a night. I     
   think I spent about 70% of time waiting for the internet to     
   respond.   
      
   So.. maybe there is a timing issue that triggers the login     
   prompt?   
      
   However, I failed to check the version of TB!  :/  But I'm     
   pretty sure I set her up with a recent version since the pc is     
   using Win7.   
      
   Anyway.. she's getting a family member to visit her on the     
   weekend.  Apparently that fellow knows his way around     
   computers and can prombably help her re-establish a new     
   password, *AND* hopefully remember to do that for her iPad     
   device using Gmail too!

   Interesting.  Now I have to wonder what TB version I was     
   dealing with. Would TB version info be passed to Gmail when     
   used in an imap configuration?  Maybe I can check some     
   archived emails from her and look in the headers.

   Thanks for the info about your experience.  So, either I am     
   dealing with an older TB version like yours, or there is a     
   timing issue (due to satellite) that triggers a failed logon.   
      
   But the latter seems unlikely since the ipad is using the same     
   service at the home.
