My password, etc, work as expected on the gmail "web mail" page, I can
send and receive, however that's not what I want, I prefer to use
Thunderbird.
Perhaps someone else has been though this and can tell me what needs
to be done?

You need to configure a Gmail account to use IMAP, not POP/SMTP. IMAP
synchronizes with the server and lets you manage the on-line storage of
your e-mail on-the-fly.
Furthermore, you should be able to set up the account to configure
automatically.
Are you using the current build of Thunderbird? That's what it does:
configures everything for you. It works for me--and I mean, it "just works."
