Thunderbird is hanging on my gmail inbox folders. There is "in progress" circle on tab but it doesn't complete like ever and no new messages are downloaded. There is already a question similar to this but resolution mentioned there doesn't work for me. Resolution mentioned there is Right click Inbox=>Properties=>Repair folder. When I did that items from my inbox disappeared.

I disconnected my mobile devices completely since someone mentioned that too in the thread I am referring too.

Also, as a side note, it is impossible to register and comment on existing question. I wanted to write this in comment.

OK. I started with all addins disabled and it started working. I will try to determine which add in is causing this behavior and post here. There is big number of extensions that are now disabled.
