(Whiteboard: [invalid?])
User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/23.0.1271.64 Safari/537.11
Steps to reproduce:
A. Just keep Thunderbird open all the time. It is set to automatically check for new messages every 10 minutes or so.
B. Explicitely click on Get Message.
As I've always been doing for YEARS.
Actual results:
STARTING FROM 2 DAYS AGO, Thunderbird won't download any message. It ALWAYS says "no messages to downloa", and there are a lot of new messages to download.
It's been two days before I realised. I thought I wasn't receiving any mail. Until I went to gmail and foun out I had 2 days of unread mails.
Expected results:
Do I need to say it?
EXTRA NOTE: the list of components is ridiculously incomplete. What component is this supposed to concern? This is the most basic core functionality and there's nothing in the list that can remotely apply.

please specify if you are doing imap or pop.
Is anything in error console?
I'm not familiar with gmail throttling, but perhaps gmail throttled you due to the massive operations you've been attempting in bug 760859, bug 812920, bug 812923
It doesn't take down thunderbird, so not sev=critical
Severity: critical → normal
Summary: HUGE - Thunderbird doesn't download ANY message any more from my gmail account → ""no messages to download" for my gmail account

For what it's worth, there appears to have been a similar bug in Gaia: bug 813032. It's possible there is/was an issue on Gmail's end...

Yes, actually it was an issue at gmail's end!!
I had set "leave messages on server" in my TB, which apparently is the wrong setting to use, because GMail (questionably I'd almost dare say) copies the messages from the webmail's inbox to the pop3 server, until it's "filled", and then doesn't copy any more messages until you empty the pop3 server by deleting the messages (when you download them).
