thunderbird wants me to sign in to google and will not do anything
Thunderbird was working normally until 0850 this morning. Then it stopped receiving emails. I restarted the computer a couple of times but when I tried to use thunderbird I got the donate message overlaid with something trying to get me to sign in to Google. This dialog does not work. Windows Mail is still working

Thankyou. I had already solved the problem by downloading a more recent version of Thunderbird which cured the problem straight away.

Hi there We have read your message.
If you recently updated Thunderbird, the firewall component of your Internet security suite may have blocked access of the new version of Thunderbird to the Internet. When this happens, IMAP folders may also disappear.
Remove Thunderbird from your firewall's list of trusted or recognized programs, then add it back manually (or when prompted). Otherwise, consult the documentation for your security suite / firewall / antivirus product for instructions on how to modify the firewall component of that product.
