I changed the max. # of server connections to cache to one as recommended and am still unable to use this account. I also tried to flush my DNS cache but for some reason this also is not functioning. I am using a Macbook Pro. My Zoho account is still functioning normally with T'Bird so it makes me suspect it is a problem with Gmail and perhaps not T'Bird. Thoughts? Thank you.

using other iProduct which to not limit their connections to receive mail, like iPhones and iPads? Turn them off and all will be well.

Tools menu > account settings > server settings >advanced and you can edit the maximum connections Thunderbird will establish with an IMAP server.

Unfortunately the afore mentioned Apple products have no such setting, or at least my last foray into the apple support forums left me believing so. It makes their mail functions fast, but makes playing in the same sand pit as others much more difficult.

Gmail currently has a limit of 15 simultaneous IMAP connections per account. see https://support.google.com/mail/answer/97150?hl=en
