That worked. The link you provide was a little dated, (eg Thunderbird 2). I'm running Thunderbird 3.0.1.
Setting up Tunderbird to connect to my gmail account was trival. I just selected to create a new account. Then a dialog appeared where I entered my gmail user name, password, and email address. Thunderbird then probed gmail and set everything up with a connection over SSL/TLS with port 465 for the incoming emails and port 993, I believe, for outgoing mail.
