I have read all the support information here. However, my email is based on my domain name - falcon@nyghtfalcon.com. Despite using the stmp.gmail.com and imap.gmail.com in manually configuring the account information, TB keeps querying www.a2hosting.com - they host our domain.

I need to get this working since I hate the Gmail interface and I am wasting a lot of time. Please help

Use 'Manual config' when the wizard fails to detect the correct settings. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manual-account-configuration

For Gmail IMAP use 'Authentication method' 'OAuth2'.
