Hi

I have downloaded Thunderbird and am trying to set it up but I am struggling. I tried to add an additional email address but the SMTP for that email seem to have automatically become the default, which are different to the gmail settings, which is actually my defualt email address. I have tried to switch it back to the gmail settings but I can't get it to send emails, it keeps say the passowrd is wrong.

Please can someone help me with what I need to do to fix the gmail settings so I can receive and send email and also how I properly add an additional email address where I can add different SMTP details that don't affect the main email address for the account.

many thanks
