The only email address setup in Thunderbird is a Roadrunner email. I'm having trouble receiving business emails forwarded to that email, so I'm trying to add my gmail account to Thunderbird... I followed the basic direction to add a Mail Account and I I made sure that everything entered was absolutely correct as far am my gmail and my password for it. No matter what I do, I get the same answer: "Configuration could not be verified - is the username or password wrong?"

You have to configure Gmail to allow access to less secure apps. Thunderbird uses the IMAP-protocol, but Google thinks it isn't safe enough.

Go to your browser and login to Gmail. Now click on your profile picture and click Account. Go to the Security tab and click on Settings for Access for less secure apps under Account Permissions. Enable it and Thunderbird should have access to your email...

BTW This is totally safe. There's no need to scratch behind your ear about changing this setting
