I do the above on a linux laptop and it works fine. I can log into the gmail using the web interface to so the email address and password are correct.

Any error message?

No error messages. Nothing happens at all, the google display just sits there. After I get fed up with waiting (minutes), when I close the google display down I get the password error message on the TB display.

It is almost as if clicking on the button is not recognized.

A lot of factors have to be right to add a gmail account. Are cookies enabled for google? Check under Tools/Options/Privacy.

Well I tried again to see if I could get more information and it worked this time. I have no idea why as I did not do anything different or change any settings...

Thanks for the help anyway.
