Hi

I've just started using Thunderbird 8.0 with my work email (and my
work PC) and I want to add my personal gmail account too.

So far I have done:

Tools> Account Settings> Add Mail Account

I filled in my Name, Email Address and Password (these work with
browser based Gmail)

IMAP selected

Create Account

Error Message  "User name or password invalid"    "Configuration could
not be verified - is the user name or password wrong?"


I've read in other posts that Unlock Captcha (https://
accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha) works but this didnt help
me. I've been to the Gmail> Mail Settings> Forwarding and POP/IMAP>
Enable IMAP and this didn't help.

Have I missed anything? Is there any way around this problem to get my
email working?

Additional info:
Windows 7
Thunderbird 8.0
