Karl. The Gmail tab is not "bad"... just not updated yet... When Mozilla
included GMail support in Thunderbird (in 2.0), Gmail was not offering
IMAP connections... They added that feature later. Probably next
Thunderbird version (3.0?) will let you choose... For now, just
configure your Thunderbird as explained there:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=77662 (you'll need
to "adapt" it to Thunderbird for Linux tho (menu entries are different
from Windows version and Linux version, but dialogs are the same)...
This isn't really hard...
