Getting errors setting up gmail accounts "Unable to log in to server"
Been using thunderbird for years, stopped getting new messages. Removed/deleted the accounts and tried to setup again and get error unable to login at server, probably wrong configuration, username or password. username and password are entered correctly, changed them just to verify, using default settings and appear to match what their supposed to be as documented. Gmail accounts... Any help appreciated...

I rebooted and everything setup as expected. I HATE windows, If I could I would move this system to Linux.

Did you get a prompt from Google to enter password? It appears that would have happened.
check settings>general and verify that the account hub experimental is NOT checked and try again. see attached.
try the setup again. Enter ONLY your name and email address. do not enter password but wait for the prompt
The only other thing I can think of would be to check settings>pivacy&security to ensure that cookies are enabled.

Your problem is puzzling, as I do get the prompt. On your comment, I have successfully on several occasions moved a windows thunderbird configuration to linux. Good luck to you.
