I've searched on google for a solution but from what I've read, it seems like thunderbird will no longer be able to access gmail accounts using pop3. I received a notice from google, that after May 30 I will no longer be ale to retrieve mail using username/password. Oauth 2.0 apparently is only available for imap and not pop3 and 2sv with app passwords is not possible with thunderbird.
where is the primary source for this notification from google? I have read about such stuff back in 2019 but these days there is oauth also for pop3 and imap, and it is in their developers pages given that pop3 uses oauth token (for each and every app/access specifically generated separately) as well <https://developers.google.com/gmail/imap/xoauth2-protocol#pop_protocol_exchange>
