Welcome to our information center for Thunderbird 2.0. The tabs above have information on setting up Thunderbird 2.0 to work with your Gmail address, as well as troubleshooting information for the common problems users face.

Getting Started

    If you're setting up Thunderbird 2.0 to work with Gmail for the first time, you'll need to:

    1. Enable POP in Gmail.
    2. Configure your Thunderbird 2.0 client.

Verify Settings

    If you're unsure whether your POP client settings are correct, you can double-check them here.

Common Errors

    If you're experiencing an error while using Thunderbird, you can browse our page of common errors to find a solution.

Troubleshooting

Other POP Issues

    Some POP problems are not specific to Thunderbird 2.0, so if you're able to send and receive successfully most of the time and our Common Errors and Troubleshooting tabs haven't addressed your issue, check our Other Issues tab for topics like accessing your Gmail messages from multiple POP clients or being unable to download messages you sent to yourself.
