cannot setup gmail to work in thunderbird
hello I am not very sucessful setting up my gmail (imap) in thunderbird - I have enabled imap in my gmail account for the email I want to use - I reckon this could be the problem , when I sign into my gmail I do not get this message window pop up at all: I wonder why I am not getting the window popup available for me to allow access to gmail from thunderbird? - is that a question for thunderbird support or gmail support?
Thanks

Be sure to OMIT the password and include your full email id.
Gmail does not allow the web password to be used on a PC. So, is that the correct password? Only if it is the one that Google generated for you.
