In your account, you may need to unblock the domain under the Block Senders tab. To configure your Gmail account to send/receive email, you need to enable IMAP mail under the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab, and then open >settings, >accounts, >Get mail from other accounts: >add another mail account, and enter: your verizon email name, verizon password, set as the POP server and use Port 110. The remaining steps are described in the Gmail help section for configuring Thunderbird. On the first menu, do not select the Gmail option - select "email account" instead. To set up your new Gmail account in Thunderbird, select > Account Settings from teh Tools Menu, and select > Add Account from the bottom of the page. Google's Gmail can send and receive email through a POP account, and a Gmail IMAP account can be created in Thunderbird to retrieve messages from Gmail. The advantage of doing this is to be able to use email offline, and to avoid Verizon's clunky email client. There is an obtuse way to use a Verizon account with Thunderbird by working through a Gmail account. There is no direct way to access a email account from Thunderbird 2.0 - access to Verizon's email accounts appears to be restricted by design.
