I can not set up Gmail account in Thunderbird

Thunderbird Installazione e aggiornamenti

Hi all!

I just installed Thunderbird but I could not set up my Gmail account within it. Every time I try to configure my Gmail account, it always says "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?" but my username and password are both correct. I have tried to set up other Gmail accounts and it says the same. I wonder is there any conflict between Gmail and Thunderbird. Anyone can help me to solve this problem? Thanks in advanced :)

Soluzione scelta

Maybe this is a Google application specific password or less secure application issue. You might read what gmail help says about both of these features they implemented.

Thank you Airmail, I enabled the "Access for less secure apps" and I could set up Gmail account in Thunderbird.

Btw, Gmail considers Thunderbird as "less secured" app, that's interesting!

Google considers anything outside their own little world insecure. Makes for great marketing. :) If this solved your issue please mark it solved. Thanks.
