Same problem as reporter.  

I have set the account details as recommended by Gmail for Thunderbird (from help page), and checked them.

I use Norton System Works/antivirus and the most current freeware version of ZoneAlarm.  

I am behind a linksys BEFSR41 V3 router which works with fine all applications (including Outlook).  No ports are set for triggering or forwarding.  Linksys has no thunderbird or gmail tech support files that I could find.

Reporter, does the issue still occur in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest supported 2.0.0.x is 2.0.0.16)
