I have followed all the set up steps, and have enabled POP on my gmail account. Thunderbird won't connect. Always says server times out.
Thoughts?

Incoming:
pop.gmail.com port 995
ssl checked: "secure authentification"
Outgoing:
smtp.gmail.com port 465
ssl user name and password complete
I had to set the proxy setting in FF portable to access gmail that way. Can't find where I might make those same settings in Thunderbird if needed.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Thanks - still no luck though..
uncheck "secure authentification".
Outgoing port is 587 and TSL.
Make sure the username is whatever it is without the "@gmail.com".
That works for me.

You're simply blocked from connecting at work, then. It's not that unusual.
