There is Kubuntu 8.04 KDE4 on a PC and it has been upgraded to the latest apt packages. Thunderbird 2 was installed from apt packages. A gmail account was setup but it fails to authenticate the password and returns a normal wrong password error. After wasting a lot of time rechecking and suspecting the keyboard, I setup the account in Kmail and it worked fine. So there appears to be a bug in that Thunderbird package.
Is this using the File -> New -> New Account Setup -> Gmail (radio button) route ?
If yes, file a bug on the distribution's bugzilla. I wouldn't request an upstream bug yet (since it doesn't seem to be reproducible on other OS or upstream tarballs)
When thunderbird was started for the first time, it opened up that dialog box for a new account setup.
