Overview
GMail Account IMAP Configuration
Tools -> Account Settings -> Account Actions -> Add Mail Account.
Update "Your name", "Email address", "Password".
The account is autodetected, and IMAP/SSL, SMPT/SSL is offered. The authentication is done with OAuth2, so a password window will pop up. I will need to grant access to "Mozilla Thunderbird Email"
