It was working not too long ago, but for some reason Thunderbird 24.1.1 stopped connecting to my gmail accounts. I have tried Windows Live mail and Opera, all with the same results. I tried changing the passwords, but still the same thing. I have tried disabling Avast Mail protection and the firewall and still nothing. It just hangs at connecting and then stops, with nothing being downloaded or changed. I am able to log into the actual webmail itself with no issues, and I receive emails on my GS4 as well. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
