I am using Windows 10 and FireFox as a browser. I am hard wired into my router. I checked to make sure I had internet.

Thunderbird works great for a while then refuses to connect to the Gmail Server. I keep getting the following message. I was able to save the message.

I can't figure out why it is so random. Thanks Jan

Your server settings look good.

Try to start *Windows* in safe mode with networking enabled. - Win10 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/change-startup-settings-in-windows-10#v1h=tab01

Still in Windows safe mode, start Thunderbird in safe mode. - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/safe-mode

Does the problem go away?

I went into TB safe mode (not Windows) and that seemed to fix the problem. Will I have to do that every time I restart Thunderbird?

Does it 'seemed to fix the problem', or does it fix the problem? Please also try Windows in safe mode.

What is your anti-virus software?

No, this is for troubleshooting only.
