Since I updated Thunderbird my Gmail emails are not downloading to my Thunderbird Inbox unless I first open the file in gmail first. Is there a setting change?

... unless I first open the file in gmail first.

Please explain what exactly that means and what you're doing.

Also, please post your Troubleshooting Information. At the top right of the Thunderbird window, click the menu button , then select Help > Troubleshooting Information. Press the "Copy text to clipboard button" and paste the information into your reply.

In Thunderbird when I press the button "Get Messages" nothing happens (it doesn't download any emails) If I then open gmail in my browser (either Firefox, Chrome or Safari) there are several emails in my inbox that are unread. The minute I open one of these emails in my browser only then does Thunderbird download that one email I opened to my inbox. I have to open each email in my browser separately before Thunderbird downloads the email.

Your account settings look good. Since you do seem to be able to retrieve mail in general, there doesn't seem to be a server settings problem either.

In Thunderbird when I press the button "Get Messages" nothing happens

Why would you press "Get Messages" in the first place? I'd expect Thunderbird pulling mail automatically at startup, as well as in regular intervals? What is the interval in your account settings?

I do get email automatically for my other email accounts as my interval settings are just a few minutes. I foolishly keep pressing the "Get messages" button in the hope that it would download my emails but to date still no luck. I still have to open gmail in a browser first then it downloads to Thunderbird. This is highly frustrating. Any other suggestions?

my interval settings are just a few minutes.

Typically email providers limit how many times an email client can retrieve mail within a certain time. Try to increase the interval to at least 10 min for the troubled account. Is there any difference?

Also, are there any other devices connecting to the account simultaneously, e.g. other instances of Thunderbird, or mobile devices?
