All of a sudden Thunderbird fails to connect to imap.gmail.com. Then i get a pop-up that says "You've reached this page because we have detected that cookies are disabled in your browser. The page you attempted to load cannot display properly if cookies are disabled. Please enable cookies and retry the operation or go back in your browser."

Did google just change something or did thunderbird just die on me? Tried rebooting comp and restarting thunderbird to no avail. Is there even an option to allow cookies in thunderbird? Im very sure i just didn't turn it off in any case.

Thx!

I did enable cookies in Thunderbird and now it seems to work again. Strange, maybe gmail just now decided to require cookies?
