You could use an account wizard (file>new>account). There's an option 'gmail', which will set it up automatically.

Thunderbird E-mail message problem
I was receiving E-Mails with the correct Subject but the Message was not a new message but the same old confirmation of a received E-Mail from months ago. Thanks to the person that said in Thunderbird click on the File menu and under Compact Folders click on EMPTY TRASH. That worked!
