Hey mates,

I just thought of something now... the error I get says "Connection
Refused", and I noticed that during the retrieval process, and all the way
during the setting-up an account, I was never asked for my gmail password,
so could my thunderbird account fail to connect to gmail because my FC login
password is not the same as the GMail password?

I mean, where & when DO i enter my gmail password to get messages from my
inbox?

Cheers
