I could not find it at first and it's not too well explained here. In Thunderbird you have to go to: Tools>Zindus> Then under Accounts you will see your email address (ou may have one or more accounts there). Select the one you want to enable sync google groups for and click the "Edit" button. There you will see the option to sync google groups. Guys,

The option to sync Google groups is kind of hidden. I could not find it at first and it’s not too well explained here.

In Thunderbird you have to go to:

Tools>Zindus>

Then under Accounts you will see your email address (ou may have one or more accounts there). Select the one you want to enable sync google groups for and click the “Edit” button.

There you will see the option to sync google groups.

The blog entry has been edited to reflect this. Thanks for the feedback folks!

That might change in a future iteration because you're not the first person to trip up over that. @Bob, in the current testing release, user-defined google group names have to have a ‘zindus/’ prefix to sync with TB.

I'm finding that I can only sync the groups as designated by Google itself, not the ones I created myself. Could you please advise? Thanks for the quick response, Leni.
