Thunderbird is takig a long time, up to 15 minutes, to download email from gmail when I open up. It often says, during the day, that it cannot connect, then says it has been reset.

Any suggestions welcome to an old man (just turned 90) who is treying hard to use modern tech. Has anyone had similar experience?

I don't have an answer but I have a theory based on what happens with my gmail. Mine typically arrives around 8 hours late - I'm in the UK, it seems like some kind of regional delay. This has been going on for a year now.

Thank you. I am in the UK, too, but this is a new problem. I'll continue to see what I can do about it.
