    I can retrieve my Gmail but am unable to send it via Thunderbird. I have my POP and SMTP details set up exactly how it states on the gmail site. However everytime i go to send mail, im confronted with an error message saying "error in connection to smtp.gmail.com, the server is down or incorrectly configured." Surly the server isnt down this much? Any help on this issue will be much appreicated.

    I dunno, maybe your firewall is blocking the port. Just to doublecheck, here's my settings that work fine:

    I had trouble connecting to port 587. Changing to port 465 worked for me.

    This is exactly the way mine is set up.


    ISHNID - Port 465 isnt working for me either. Any other suggestions?
