Thunderbird stopped downloading gmail this morning. It worked fine yesterday. I've restarted it 3 times to no avail. It says "Connected to imap.googlemailcom..." and it's been saying that for 2 1/2 hours now. Please help.

And please respond in non-tech terms. I am an old lady and I don't understand any of the stuff in the "help" section of your website. Still running Win10 because I can't handle the learning curve to 11. Please and thank you.

Well, it took 2 hrs and 30 min, but it finally loaded. What's up with that???

I've also had some issues.

Are yours still happening?
