Wait! you can't go the address above can you. No images but here it is.

Note: if you're using an older version of Thunderbird, we highly
recommend upgrading to version 2.0.

To set up your Thunderbird client to work with Gmail:
Enable IMAP in Gmail.
Open Thunderbird, and select Tools > Account Settings.
Click Add Account.
Select the Email account radio button and click Next. The Identity
screen appears.
Enter your full name in the Your Name field. Enter your Gmail address
(username at gmail.com) in the Email Address field, and click Next.
Google Apps users, enter your full address in the format
username at your_domain.com.
Select IMAP as the type of incoming server you are using. Enter
imap.gmail.com in the Incoming Server field.
Set the Outgoing Server to smtp.gmail.com, and click Next.


Enter your full email address (including @gmail.com @your_domain.com)
in the Incoming User Name and Outgoing User Name fields, and click
Next.



Enter a name for your email account in the Account Name field, and click Next.
Verify your account information in the dialog box, and click Finish.
Select Server Settings from the folder list below your new account.
Update the Port value to 993.
In the Security Settings section, select SSL from the Use secure
connection options.
Select Check for messages at startup and Automatically download new messages
Click Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the folder list



Select the smtp.gmail.com (Default) entry from the list and click
Edit. The SMTP Server page appears.
Enter smtp.gmail.com as the Server Name and set the Port to 587.
Select User name and password and enter your full email address
(including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com) in the User Name field.
Select TLS from the Use secure connection radio buttons and click OK.
Click OK to save your changes and exit the Account Settings dialog.



Check our recommended client settings, and adjust your client's
settings as needed.

* Did you click 'Save Changes' after enabling IMAP in Gmail? To ensure
that Gmail can communicate with your mail client, be sure to click
Save Changes on the Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings tab.
