One of my Gmail account not working via Thunderbird. It was working for up until today. Keep getting error message saying 'The current operation on inbox did not succed. The mail server of account ...... responded: unknown command 34 the mail server for this account in not responding, unknown command .........)

I have delete this mail account and re-created with the same problem. The unknown command is different each time when I try to get new mail..

In any case, this looks more like a Google problem, so you may also ask in a Google forum.

I don't think this is a google problem, I have Thunderbird on my home PC and this mail account works, as it did on my office PC until one day, it died and I have tried all the tricks above, to no avail.
