When attempting to add a gmail account, I get the "ussername or password is wrong."

The only setup email in Thunderbird is an email from Roadrunner. I cannot receive emails of transferred business to this email, so I'll try to add my gmail account to Thunderbird... I followed the basic orientation to add a Mail account and I that I made sure that all entered was absolutely correct as am away my gmail and my password for it. No matter what I do, I have the same answer: "Setup could not be verified - is the name of user or wrong password?

You must configure Gmail to allow access to less secure applications. Thunderbird using IMAP protocol, but Google thinks that isn't enough course.

Go to your browser and sign in to Gmail. Now, click on your profile picture and click account. Go to the Security tab and click access settings for applications less secure under account permissions. Activate and Thunderbird should have access to your email...

BTW, it's completely safe. There is no need to scratch behind the ear on changing this setting
