Thunderbird and Gmail -

[Bob Goodwin]

I would like to use gmail.com via Thunderbird but nothing I have tried 
on their page seems to fix things. "Get Messages" results in the 
following message"
> Sending of password for user Bob Goodwin did not succeed. Mail server 
> pop.gmail.com responded: Temporary system problem.  Please try again 
> later. e68mb297548332ita

My password, etc, work as expected on the gmail "web mail" page, I can 
send and receive, however that's not what I want, I prefer to use 
Thunderbird.

Perhaps someone else has been though this and can tell me what needs to 
be done?
