[xubuntu-users] Thunderbird on Gmail - 2 step verification

The critical step left out of most tutorials: you must enable what Google calls "insecure" downloads or the setup will fail!

Subject: [xubuntu-users] Thunderbird on Gmail - 2 step verification

I would be grateful if someone could put me right.

I am unsure what to call thunderbird when one enters in the
application. I tried Geary and Evolution - set up instructions seem
helpful and worked ok. But i would prefer going back yo thunderbird.
But in thunderbird I am not so sure - I tried Thunderbird, Mail....

I haven't used an email client for a while but decided this week I
would go back to using one. The web gmail UI seems to get more
features added which I don't like.

thanks
james
