Since 31.5.0 gmail imap doesn't work well. Very, very slow. Eventually gets there but minutes. I have removed all add-ons.

Other imap logins seem to be fine (I have 3 different accounts).

I've also removed all programs I can from the automatic login (on boot).

I've been using thunderbird since version......well, a long time >10 years. Hope you are well. Mark

Greetings. Egg on my face. I am running OS X 10.10.2 Somehow I didn't mention that in my initial post. Sorry, my error.

Anyway, Thunderbird is still acting the same way (v 31.5)

Hope things are well. Mark
