I don't use Gmail, or Thunderbird, though I use a variant of Thunderbird
(Eudora Thunderbird project). I thought Gmail was for http mail. I
thought Thunderbird was for POP3 mail. Sounds like you have POP3 going on
- especially if you have to put in POP3 and SMTP server settings in
T-bird.

Assuming you need POP3/SMTP, like a non-http mail system typically does,
you'll need to have working DNS, POP3 and SMTP. This could mean that you
need three stateful filter exceptions from private to public (dns/udp-st,
pop3-st, smtp-st), though you may already have DNS covered with an
internal DNS server or proxy.
