Even though my company switched to using Google for everything (mail, docs, etc) I just wasn't willing to give up the things that I feel Thunderbird gives me for mail sorting and scheduling. We can have a screaming argument about this all day (and I have), but sometimes you just like the way you're doing things, and don't want to give up your tool.
Anyways, I've been struggling for a while with Thunderbird's calendar integration with Google Calendar-- every once in a while, it will prompt me over and over again for my password, and even though I am SURE I am typing it right, and have checked the "please will you please PLEASE remember this in the future" box, it keeps popping up the password prompt.
And man, if I thought I had some reasons to like Seth Godin before, hoooo boy is he my personal hero now. He has a post here that says that Google might just be getting stuck on a captcha issue. And sure enough, that fixed my problem on the first try.
So there is a hidden link that takes you to a little captcha prompt, which apparently resets the flag that says you might be someone suspicious.
Good stuff.
