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'm not even sure at what end the problem is. I think I have the client set up right, and I think the strange cryptic error message I get is from Thunderbird:
Alert
Web login required (Failure)
On the Gmail side I have logged in to my account and enabled IMAP. The settings I see in their how-to for Thunderbird 2 all seem to be set right in Thunderbird 3.
I'm at a complete loss as to what else I can check.
