duplicate? May have existed prior to version 91.
Steps to reproduce:
- one account (any ISP) that reliabily gets email
- a gmail account that has not gone through oauth, does not have a saved password, and is set to check for new mail
Results:
Eventually the oauth prompt for the gmail account appears. It causes new email to not be downloaded.
This has frustrated me a couple times, because the oauth prompt is not always in the foreground

Wayne,
Are you running account 1 and 2 above without a saved password? Or are you saying TB has forgot the stored gmail password? (I've never tried to run an oauth account without a stored password.)
Anyhow, I don't know how the oauth prompt is produced or how it gets buried or hidden under other windows and apparently hangs TB networking until it is responded to.

I guess it is technically incorrect to say that the password is not stored, where oauth is concerned - because it is the oauth token that is stored.
So to clarify:
- Account 2 does not have a stored oauth token - it never successfully logged in.
- Account 1 - we assume has been logged in and TB is able to retrieve messages.
The result is an oauth prompt for account 2, left unanswered, will prevent downloading of new mail for account 1.
