Hello,
I am unable to configure shorewall to allow thunderbird to access my gmail account on my system running PCLinuxOS. I will be grateful if any one helps me out in this.

In the /etc/shorewall/rules no need to define
ACCEPT net fw tcp 554 -
unless you are running something on port 554 and want to open it for the net zone.

Try this:
ACCEPT fw net all

Or more specifically:
ACCEPT fw net udp 53
ACCEPT fw net tcp 53,80,21,22,110,23
ACCEPT fw net icmp 8

Where 80= web access , 21= ftp , 22= ssh , 23 = telnet, 53= domanin name and so on
