Hello,

When I tried to get my mail using Thunderbird 10.0.2 I found out that I couldn't. I had formated my Ubuntu partition and reinstalled the system and when I tried to set up Thunderbird it told me that my password or user name for my Gmail account were wrong (and I knew that they were the correct ones). Today I found in the Google support page a solution that worked for me.

1º go here: http://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha and continue with the verification step. You'll see that that action will have effect for 10 minutes.
2º open Thunderbird and enter your Name, Address and Password

That's all.
