IMAP is now enabled for Gmail. Actually when you add a new account it's possible to select Gmail but all predefined settings are for POP access. If I want to add IMAP access I need to go through 'Email account'

Steps to reproduce:
1 Enable IMAP in your Gmail account.
2 Open Thunderbird, and select Tools > Account Settings.
3 Click Add Account.
4 Select the Email account radio button and click Next. The Identity screen appears.
5 Enter your full name in the Your Name field. Enter your full Gmail email address (<email address hidden>) in the Email Address field, and click Next.
6 Select IMAP as the type of incoming server you are using. Enter imap.gmail.com in the Incoming Server field.
etc.

Expected result:
Just select Tools > Account Settings > Add Account > Gmail and then select IMAP or POP access
