At mid-morning on Feb 21, Mozilla Thunderbird email stopped working. Messages continued to appear in my Inbox, but I could no longer open them, and I was unable to send email. When attempting to open or send messages, I saw notification "boxes" saying: "imap.gmail.com has disconnected. Server may have gone down or there may be a network problem" or "Sending of message failed because connection to outgoing server smtp.gmail,com was lost..."

I was successful sending and receiving via the gmail website, so I assume something in my laptop changed. Is this a legitimate Spybot Forum problem? If not, I would much appreciate your suggestion(s) of another source of technical help.
