#Set thunderbird for pop email for gmail how to

I get to a screen 'Set up an existing email account' where the Gmail configuration is found. 2) Is there a way to set Thunderbird create. That means Thunderbird can not even see the Spam folder (actually a label) on the Gmail side of the system, let alone download messages from that location. from the drop-down list located under the account list on the left. The next step is to set up the new account in Thunderbird. The POP3 email protocol only provides for access to the server (Gmail) inbox folder by the email client (Thunderbird).

Click the Tools menu, and select Account Settings. POP forwarding, you can use it as an initial filter and still get email to. Given that I have TB set to check for new mail every 5 minutes, this is becoming exceptionally annoying. Make sure to Enable IMAP in Gmail and click Save Changes when you're done. You've set all these traps, now what are you supposed to do with all this. I know the password is still valid because I can log into webmail just fine.

I have configured thudnerbird 3.1.

#Set thunderbird for pop email for gmail how to

I have switched pop/imap on in gmail settings, I have read help about how to configure client. When I then manually initiate a check, it requires that I enter the existing password, and sometimes it says the password isn't accepted. I had been using gmail via thunderbird for time, and now (when I am trying to set it up from zero) it doesn't work. If I cancel the prompt, it doesn't do anything, including not connecting to the server for the mail check. If I submit the existing password, sometimes it continues happily on and other times it brings up the same prompt again. Thunderbird keeps prompting me to enter a new password every time it tries to check for new mail. I've had something vaguely similar happening to me for about a day now.
