My current gmail settings are:-

SMTP server: smtp.gmail.com
Connection: Secure to Regular Port (STARTTLS)
Port: 25
Authentication: Tick in Box for "Perform SMTP Authorisation (RFC2554)"
"same user/password as for mail retrieval" selected.

Mail Server:  pop.gmail.com
User:   Recent:myUsername 
Password:   xxx
Connection: Secure to dedicated port (TLS)
Port:   995
Authentication: Regular


For mail retrieval to work, I also have to log onto gmail website 
from time to time and either change my password or turn back on an 
arcanely-named setting called "Allow less secure apps". (And if you 
are now wanting to retrieve messages via IMAP instead of POP3, check 
you have IMAP enabled in the mail settings on the gmail website. You 
can have both enabled.)

Just  a  thought  - do you need to set up an app specific password for
TB on Gmail? I think that I had to do that at some point over the last
year or two in order to continue to use Gmail with TB.

I  am  using  the  same  connection  settings as the others, and these
worked before I upgrade to 7.x, so I don't think it is the TB version.
