Hi Thanks in advance for your help. Using Windows 10, Thunderbird latest iteration. I've experienced the following issues for about three days (see inclosed screen captures): 1) when trying to retrieve my mail from my Gmail account, Thunderbird stays stuck on the following action: "connected to imap gmail.com..." (bottom left hand corner) 2) when I send a mail, I get the following message: "Sent but message not saved ..."

I've removed and reinstalled Thunderbird, to no avail. I can easily access my Gmail account through a navigator (Firefox).

Again, thanks a lot in advance for your help
