Gmail and Thunderbird / Icedove

Hi All,

This post explains how to get your gmail mails to your local thunderbird or the Debian's Icedove in Ubuntu Ultimate Ed 2.7

First login to your gmail account and enable IMAP settings for your a/c. Save your settings.

From here on it is pretty simple as opening Thunderbird and entering info for some basic questions.

Enter the following:
1. Your Gmail Username
2. Your Gmail Userid
3. Your Gmail password.

Thunderbird will detect most of the settings automatically and thats it. Enjoy....

Tc,
