Hi Guilermo,

There are two steps to resolve this problem.  First we need to make sure
this isn't a misconfiguration, then we need to generate a log of your
POP session with GMail.

Please check your settings in thunderbird; in particular, make sure none
of the settings beneath "Leave the message in the server" are turned on.

If everything looks right to you, then I need you to install to generate
a log.  To do this, you need to install the netcat package.  Then open a
terminal and type the following command:

mknod mypipe p

The command above creates a special file type called a FIFO or named
pipe.  Now you need to run the following command:

nc -l -p 9999 < mypipe | tee -a log.txt | nc gmail 110 | tee -a log.txt
1> mypipe

Replace "gmail" with the name of the gmail server you have configured in
Thunderbird.  Next to that server name in Thunderbird is a port number;
it should be 110, but if it's different, replace "110" with that server
number.  Press return to run the command.  Now, in Thunderbird, change
your gmail server name to "localhost" and change the port number to
"9999". Save your settings and click get mail; wait for it to get your
mail (and presumably delete it from the server), go back to the
configuration screen, and restore your original server name and port
number.

In the terminal, press Control-C.

Open the file named "log.txt" in a text editor.  This contains a log of
all the communication between thunderbird and Gmail -- including your
username, password, and emails.  Make a copy of this file and then
delete everything after the first hundred lines.  For the first hundred
lines, delete any confidential information and then attach the result to
this bug report.

I know that's a lot of work for you to do, but a log will help us
confirm and fix the bug.

Thanks,

-Dave
