Set up Gmail IMAP on Thunderbird 3

Set up Gmail IMAP on Thunderbird 3

I can't seem to get Thunderbird 3 and Gmail to work together. I've been a Thunderbird user for years, and I have a different Google mail account set up and working already which successfully migrated in from Thunderbird 2.

"I changed NOTHING - I just waited about an hour, during which time I did log in to the web interface, then, it just started working in Thunderbird. No changes were made on either end.

I guess when ever you get the above error the answer is to be patient.

It's possible I triggered all this by accidentally repeatedly entering the wrong password the first time I tries to access the account from TB. It's also possible that it takes some time for the change in settings to allow IMAP to take effect."
