Re: [ILUG-BOM] Thunderbird 2 bug?

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)
