My account suddenly now doesn't connect...IMAP related. Please help!
Hi Everyone
I've used Thunderbird, without any problems, for years. All of a sudden I am unable to receive or send emails via the normal IMAP connection with my gmail account. I have checked settings but can't see why this would suddenly be a problem.
Out of interest, I've checked with Mac email and the connection/migration is fine.
If someone could help steer me out of this I would be very grateful.
Many thanks
Nick

Your server settings look good.
All of a sudden I am unable to receive or send emails via the normal IMAP connection with my gmail account.
So what prevents you from getting mail? Is there any error message?
