I changed the authentification to Oauth on both pop and smtp on my gmail account in Thunderbird. I removed the saved passwords. I restarted TB.
I was presented with a screen to connect to Google. I put in my email address and clicked Next.

Actual results:

Nothing.. well I was back at the same screen with my email account name gone..

Expected results:

I expected that it would connect me to Google so that I could collect and send email in future.

Tried all sorts and then realised that I needed to set cookies - is it possible for this to be in the response or is the screen coming from Google?

The screen is coming from google.

Summary: oauth doesn't seem to work → oauth doesn't seem to work (when cookies disabled)
Component: Untriaged → Security
Summary: oauth doesn't seem to work (when cookies disabled) → (google) oauth doesn't seem to work when cookies disabled

And Thunderbird can't change the screen.
