Cannot use gmail with thunderbird , with recent: mode enabled (gmail service issue)
Up until this morning I was using recent: mode for my gmail account to download mail over pop3.
No when the username is recent:myaccount@gmail.com I cannot auth anymore. (wrong password message appears)
If i remove recent: from within the username it works perfectly.
Anybody experiencing the same issue ?
For now, I switched to imap to my other mobile devices and only use one account with pop3 (computer).

have you considered asking gmail what is happening, after all it is their service.
Matt, First I checked with Gmail forums and there is already a thread there about this issue. I also created a new profile on Outlook 2010 with "recent:" mode and it works. So, this leads me to think it is thunderbird specific? Adding to what xjust explained, I am using "recent:name@gmail.com" in the username field on Account settings/server settings. This way I can get all the emails on all devices I setup regardless of whichever grabs it first. "name@gmail.com" as username works. So a wild guess, maybe there is a check/truncation for ":" character in username field on 24.4 update?
