Great Add-on ! Thanks!
Glad this will be add to Thunderbird 3, that's great! You could even replace pop3 with imap when setting up gmail account to force "non geek" people to use imap ;)
I just got some small bug with TB 2.0.0.17 (windows), after clicking wizard's finish button if you type the wrong password and tb doesn't fetch the imap folder, it display an error message that the Draft, Sent ... folders cannot be set (because they are not fetch yet)
You need to set them manualy afterwards to fix it...

Nice and easy. Thank you for this great extension. Just got myself a GMail account today (getting suck of bad email at Yahoo) and I have to say I like how easy it was to integrate it with Thunderbird.

The user can create a new e-mail account and select IMAP for type and then enter all the server parameters as they would when defining any POP or IMAP account. They just have to follow Gmail's instructions. This add-on gives a shortcut with its wizard (preset) values so the user doesn't have to read those instructions. However, there is one failing (and in Gmail's instructions, too): there is no option to specify the root folder for the IMAP store (and Gmail's instructions omits this info, too). If you don't want the online folders to appear under a "[Gmail]" subfolder under your Gmail account folder in the folder pane, go under the advanced properties for the server settings of your Gmail account and specify the root folder (aka "IMAP server directory") as "[Gmail]" (sans quotes). Then all the online folders get flattened under just the Gmail account's folder (no subfolders). Gmail omits this info. I learned it the hard way in Outlook and Outlook Express. A manual create of an IMAP account (for Gmail) before installing this add-on proved that I also had to specify the IMAP root folder. And using this add-on didn't help with that. I deducted 1 ratings star for lack of letting the user specify the root folder in the IMAP store (or adding it automatically), and another 1 star because this wizard really isn't needed if the user simply follows instructions and creates an IMAP account using the procedures already provided in Thunderbird.

Great! Easy and quick setup of gmail imap. Should be installed by default IMHO :)

Really a great add-on. I used to setup my own Gmail IMAP but this add-on makes it so much easier and even sets the icons for the Gmail folders nicely.
Really great work H. Ogi!

Works like a charm. Makes it easy to set up Gmail IMAP in Thunderbird with optimal settings. This will save you a lot of time!

Creating folders doesn't work in OSX. It's a pity.

A nice addon, but please add TB 3a1 support.
@cje: POP is included.
IMAP will be added with TB3
Rated 1 out of 5 stars
All these features are already included in tb. So, I can\'t understand the needs of this add on....?
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.4.40).Thunderbird has a wizard for Gmail POP3 access, but doesn't have one for Gmail IMAP access. In addition to the wizard, this extension synchronizes folders and set up some preferences to improve performance.

Now I can configure my friends account and mine in just one step. No need to set trash folder anymore.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (1.3.10).To create your own collections, you must have a Mozilla Add-ons account.
