I would like to check/send emails from my desktop using Thunderbird. How do I set it up to pull down my Gmail emails, and send out emails through my Gmail account?

Here's how to do it for IMAP and POP access.

Also, if you select to create a new account in the latest Thunderbird, it will have a "Gmail" option that automates a lot of it for you. I think it's POP though.

Lifehacker had a very nice article on doing this.

Turn Thunderbird into the Ultimate Gmail IMAP Client

Be very sure to understand how the Gmail Trash works, and how to use its SMTP server. When in doubt, see some more details at Greyed out emails in Mail.app.
