For several days we have been experiencing very slow connections from Thunderbird to the gmail servers. When sending an email the connection process to smtp.gmail.com takes 3 to 4 minutes. When copying the email to the "Sent" folder the connection to the imap server again takes 3 to 4 minutes.

I should have noted that we are using version 68.8.1 of Thunderbird on a Linux system running the Manjaro distribution. I've tried using the "safe mode" on Thunderbird and encountered the same delays.
