From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

How about just signing in on Thunderbird? Frankly, what other programs do you really want to be signed in to your Google account?
I like the calendar integration with GNOME's calendar for example. I'm also not sure if I'm planning on using thunderbird as a mail client, I'd like to test the options available.
Just for example - google drive integration.
And it is not a solution. The software "offers" you to connect your google account, you have the option in gnome's menu, so it should work (or should not be there).
The problem actually is far more reaching, as it prevents adding gmail account in evolution, gnome calendars or Geary as well.
