Has anyone else had a problem like this? I use the gmail pop

forced to login through the web interface and enter one of those
stupid security codes
I have Thunderbird (Mac) configured to connect to GMail via IMAP. Now
and then it hiccoughs and demands my password again. I just ignore it
(dismiss the dialog box) and eventually it straightens itself out.
It's been acknowledged by the GMail people as just a glitch they'll fix
someday. Probably system (over-)loading issues.
i've had both of the (separate) problems described above; Bruce
describes occasional password failures by gmail imap in
ThunderBird, which happens often for me; P. J. describes a
password rejection which can't be cured unless you jump through
hoops on the gmail web interface; that used to happen to me at
least once a week, but hasn't since May or so; i had understood
the latter to be related to connecting via different ip addreses
-- i move my computer between home and work everyday, sometimes
go elsewhere, and also have my phone connecting
