 Replying to [ticket:11168 cypherpunks]:
 > I'm using debian wheezy/icedove and enigmail as only other add-on. My
 gmail got locked down and they forced a password change.

 Yes, sadly, that's expected with Gmail accounts. There is a way to fix
 this issue; have a look at the [wiki:torbirdy#TorBirdywithGmail TorBirdy
 with Gmail] section in the manual.

 > I disabled TorBirdy for entering the new password, but although shown as
 disabled, I still get the "The proxy server is refusing connections"
 message in the add-ons manager and the connection to the mail server gets
 refused, unless I'm running tor as well

 That's odd.

 > I tried icedove in safe-mode, with all add-ons disabled with the same
 result. There is also no uninstall/remove button on TorBirdy in the add-
 ons manager.

 If you right click on it, there should be an option to uninstall and
 disable it.

 > I had TorBirdy previously disabled and re-enabled without any problems,
 so the issue occurred suddenly. Of course I can manually remove TorBirdy,
 but I left it as is for now, so if you someone tells me how to provide
 further information on how to re-create I'll be happy to. I'm not too
 savvy so it might be improper usage, but my debian install is fresh and I
 did not configure much.

 So a quick question: which version of TorBirdy and Icedove are you using?
