You need to configure a Gmail account to use IMAP, not POP/SMTP. IMAP synchronizes with the server and lets you manage the on-line storage of your e-mail on-the-fly.

I have not tried imap, since the problems did not seep specific to pop, smtp.gmail.com doesn't accept the password either. However I am willing to give that a try also out of desperation.

Furthermore, you should be able to set up the account to configure automatically.

Yes, Thunderbird 38.1.0 does try to do that ...

Are you using the current build of Thunderbird? That's what it does: configures everything for you. It works for me--and I mean, it "just works."

I rarely have any problem setting up thunderbird accounts, this one is probably a first. I too expected it to just work.

Thanks,

Try these settings:

Port: 993
