TB upgraded itself to 31.5.0 last night. This morning, it just had a spinning indicator up by the Inbox tab as it tried to connect/download from Gmail (it connected/downloaded from Yahoo and Comcast). Finally freed up after about 10 minutes and showed me some message headers. But after selecting any message, it doesn't show the content (unless it's one I've viewed previously) -- it just says "Loading Message..." for a LONG time, then that message goes away, then eventually (many minutes) shows the content of the message.
