Since the last update, I have had almost constant problems connecting to gmail. Opening inbox will sometimes work but most often alerts me that the connection failed. Same with sending mail. Sometimes (rarely) works. I have 2 machines both configured the same way for gmail. Configuration has not changed. Both machines have the exact same issues. On a sinister note: when I connect to gmail using Firefox, or close the browser window: sometimes suddenly the TB connection is OK and downloads mails or I am able to send. BTW, I am in Hong Kong. I suspect it is a Google thing.
