I don't know if Gmail offers POP3 support (most free email servers do not). If you search through your FAQ info on the Gmail site, and it has a place for POP3 settings, you use those to configure your account in Thunderbird (or any other email client).

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.
