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.
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)
I have Thunderbird version 2.0.0.16 (20080724) and it works fine. Can you check what version of Thunderbird you are using (Help > About Thunderbird should do)? In addition to what Sankarshan told, you can also check the distribution's bug tracker for a similar bug reported for the version your are using or the later versions. If so, please see if there is a response. Else, please feel free to file a bug :)
