I can't seem to properly configure my Thunderbird account to download Gmail POP3 emails. I can send via SMTP but can't download on the POP protocol.

There is no error messages except it doesn't download, but if I go onto Google, I can see the messages there. Attached is a screenshot of the account settings.
