Ok I just installed it and everything works well, sort of. I can receive mail but when I try to send this happens:
An error occurred while sending mail. The mail server responded 5.7.0 Must issue a STARTTLS command first m78sm1153226pye. Please verify that your email address is correct in your Mail preferences and try again.
So I check my Account Settings, My Outgoing Server and it says:
name - smtp.gmail.com (Default)
Description:
Server Name: smtp.gmail.com
Port: 0
User Name: .........
Secure Connection: none
Everything looks ok but why will it not send mail?

First off, this is a support issue, so it doesn't go in general. I've moved it.
Second, this sounds like it may be a Gmail issue. If you search for it in Google, you'll find articles like this:

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Gmail requires a secure connection to both the incoming and outgoing servers, otherwise it won't work. Follow these instructions to set Gmail up for use in Thunderbird:

The instructions are quite outdated (they're written for Thunderbird 0.x) but they're surprisingly relavant now, even for Thunderbird 1.5x. I think you'll be able to figure them out.
