When I have opened thunderbird in the last few days a blue rotating disc appears when I select my gmail inboxes. It does not appear when I select my non gmail accounts. I checked my account thru firefox and it appears some emails are not now downloading to Thunderbird. Also today when sending a mail from my gmail account on thunderbird a message comes up say that it cannot save the mail to my sent box although I have reason to believe that it still actually sends the email as I have tested this by sending a mail to one of my non gmail accounts and it was received. Is there a problem with Thunderbird and gmail accounts at present as this has never happened before. I use a imac by the way. many thanks John
