Suddenly Thunderbird won't sync any account, setups okay
I have similar Thunderbird 31.4 setups on two Macs; one suddenly stopped working on all 5 accounts (all IMAP). Symptoms:
• There are no crashes or error messages;
• Activity Manager window is blank; and
• The Error Console shows no errors (but some messages); and
• A small blue circle in the window's inbox tab spins perpetually on one account (see screen shot), but clears when switching to others;
• The pointer has a spinning blue ball below it; and
• The status bar occasionally says "Connected to xxx.com" or "Gmail is up to date," but that is not true—no account is up to date.
The following do NOT help:
• Restarting with add-ons disabled;
• Rebuilding global-messages-db.sqlite;
• Trashing the Thunderbird files in ~/Library/Caches;
• Trashing and reinstalling the Thunderbird application.
Meanwhile, Apple Mail on the same computer, and Thunderbird on the other computer, both operate normally. Any insight?! What else can I try? Cheers, -- Gib Henry

have you checked the firewall? If you have anti virus software installed, check that as well.
Interesting, but I have not touched the firewall, nor do I have antivirus software installed, and I imagine either of those possible causes would have affected Apple Mail as well.
I suspect one of the numerous files in my Thunderbird Profile folder has been damaged, but if that's it, I have no idea how to isolate the culprit, or how to fix it.

I suspect that your setup is not as you say. Ok.
Please post the troubleshooting information on the help menu (copy to clipboard and post to a massage here)
I'm puzzled by your statement that "your setup is not as you say." Nevertheless, here's the troubleshooting info, which doesn't differ significantly from that of the other (working) copy of Thunderbird:

Ah, there is something important I neglected to mention: I upgraded to Thunderbird from Eudora OSE! Maybe there's something left over from that version, such as the Extras? Where would I look for them?
