Thunderbird 14 does not work with gmail on Ubuntu 12.04

I have been attempting to set up Thunderbird from a default install of Ubuntu 12.04LTS Desktop. Attempting to click on the inbox gives:

The current operation on Inbox did not succeed. The mail server for account [email protected] responded: System error(Failure)

I've also changed the servers to imap.gmail.com from imap.googlemail.com, but to no avail. I see my folders, but I can't see inside them. I've also enabled smtp, pop, and imap from the google account settings side from within the web client.

Any ideas?

Try the following, and report back if that does not meet your requirements:

Configure Google Web Mail (Gmail) in Thunderbird Mail Client on Ubuntu, Fedora Linux

UPDATE

Exit from Thunderbird

Delete the Inbox.msf file in your profile's Imapmail folder.

Re-start Thunderbird.
